NAME
       fbdev - video driver for framebuffer device

SYNOPSIS
       Section "Device"
	 Identifier "devname"
	 Driver "fbdev"
	 BusID	"pci:bus:dev:func"
	 ...
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION
       fbdev  is an XFree86 driver for framebuffer devices.  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 sup-
       ported.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
       The fbdev driver supports all hardware where a framebuffer
       driver is available.  fbdev uses the os-specific submodule
       fbdevhw(4) to talk to the kernel device driver.	Currently
       a fbdevhw module is available for linux.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS
       Please  refer  to  XF86Config(5) for general configuration
       details. This section only covers  configuration	 details
       specific to this driver.

       For this driver it is not required to specify modes in the
       screen section of the config file.  The fbdev  driver  can
       pick up the currently used video mode from the framebuffer
       driver and will use it if there are no video modes config-
       ured.

       For  PCI boards you might have to add a BusID line to the
       Device section.	See above for a sample line.  You can use
       "XFree86 -scanpci" to figure out the correct values.

       The following driver Options are supported:

       Option "fbdev" "string"
	      The framebuffer device to use. Default: /dev/fb0.

       Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
	      Enable  or  disable  use	of the shadow framebuffer
	      layer.  See shadowfb(4)  for  further  information.
	      Default: on.
