NAME
       fbdevhw - os-specific submodule for framebuffer device access

DESCRIPTION
       fbdevhw  provides functions for talking to a framebuffer device.  It is os-specific.  It is a
       submodule used by other video drivers.  A fbdevhw module is  currently  available  for  linux
       framebuffer devices.

       fbdev(4) is a non-accelerated driver which runs on top of the fbdevhw module.  fbdevhw can be
       used  by  other drivers too, this is usually activated with `Option "UseFBDev"' in the device
       section.
