This is a non-accelerated +driver, the following framebuffer depths are supported: 8, 15, 16, 24. +All visual types are supported for depth 8, and TrueColor visual is +supported for the other depths. Multi-head configurations are supported. +.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The +.B fbdev +driver supports all hardware where a framebuffer driver is available. +fbdev uses the os-specific submodule fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) to talk +to the kernel +device driver. Currently a fbdevhw module is available for linux. +.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS +Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration +details. This section only covers configuration details specific to +this driver. +.PP +For this driver it is not required to specify modes in the screen +section of the config file. The +.B fbdev +driver can pick up the currently used video mode from the framebuffer +driver and will use it if there are no video modes configured. +.PP +For PCI boards you might have to add a BusID line to the Device +section. See above for a sample line. You can use \*q\__xservername__ +-scanpci\*q +to figure out the correct values. +.PP +The following driver +.B Options +are supported: +.TP +.BI "Option \*qfbdev\*q \*q" string \*q +The framebuffer device to use.
