Hi, everyone,
I came across a really unique board that I was given, so I decided to document it here!
It is a Fujitsu AG-10E, and belongs to, I believe, Fujitsu HALStation 375 and 385 SPARC64 II machines.
From NetBSD wiki

This is Frankenstein's monster of graphics cards. It's a double-wide, double-decked SBus device with three different graphics chips - each with its own memory, a high end RAMDAC and a DSP.
There is:a GLint 300SX with 2x 6MB framebuffer ( that's what the firmware says, the chip itself claims to have 16MB framebuffer ) and 16MB 'local buffer' - whatever that is, 3D Labs claims they can't find any docs but I doubt they even checked. This chip provides a 24bit true colour visual.
an Imagine I128 with 4MB RAM, this chip provides an 8 bit visual.
a Weitek P9100 with 2MB framebuffer, this chip provides WIDs
an IBM RGB561 RAMDAC which supports a truckload of features and WID control over pretty much everything
an Analog Devices DSP with its own memory, we have no clue what it's being used forEvidently there is some sort of SBus-to-PCI bridge on the card, from the graphics chip listed above only the P9100 is known to exist as an ?SBus variant, and even that was probably an in-house hack done by Tadpole. We have a kernel driver for it ( agten at ?sbus ) which uses the I128 to provide an accelerated console and switches to the GLint's 24bit visual when X runs. The ?xf86-video-ag10e driver is mostly glue code to map framebuffer and registers via /dev/fb*, run the ?xf86-video-glint driver's 300SX support and deal with the different DAC.
