[comp.windows.x] SUN hardware pan and zoom?

bierma@NPRDC.ARPA (Larry Bierma) (11/16/88)

The October 1988 Software Technical Bulletin has a section summarizing
the SUN color frame buffers.  It states that the CG2 frame buffer has
full screen pan and zoom hardware.  Does anyone know whether the CG3
and CG5 frame buffers have hardware pan and zoom?  If they do how
does one tell the frame buffer to pan and zoom?  I haven't been able
to find any refferences to panning and zooming in TFM.

Thanks,

I know, and the answer is "No, they don't".

P.S. It's "Sun", not "SUN".

P.P.S. Why is this in comp.windows.x?
