After a little poking around I figured out how to do it. Instead of using the
fbio ioctl routines, I opted for the Visual I/O routines. Should work the
same for either set. I've included a function that will turn off/on the
hardware cursor. This appears to work under Solaris 2.3 on a GX and a
Tech Source GXTRA/2 card.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/visual_io.h"
#define FRAMEBUFFER_NAME "/dev/fb"
#define CURSOR_OFF 0
#define CURSOR_ON 1
int modifyCursor( char *device, int state )
{ int fd;
struct vis_cursor cursor;
if ((fd = open( device, O_RDWR )) < 0)
{ perror( "modifyCursor( ): open" );
return( 1 );
}
cursor.set = VIS_CURSOR_SETCURSOR;
cursor.enable = state; /* 0 = off, 1 = on */
if (ioctl( fd, VIS_SETCURSOR, &cursor ) < 0)
{ perror( "modifyCursor( ): VIS_SETCURSOR" );
close( fd );
return( 1 );
}
close( fd );
return( 0 );
} /* end modifyCursor( ) */
Usage:
modifyCursor( FRAMEBUFFER_NAME, CURSOR_OFF );
or
modifyCursor( FRAMEBUFFER_NAME, CURSOR_ON );
