Driver "vesa"

DESCRIPTION
vesa is an Xorg driver for generic VESA video cards. It can drive most VESA-compatible
video cards, but only makes use of the basic standard VESA core that is common to these
cards. The driver supports depths 8, 15 16 and 24.
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The vesa driver supports most VESA-compatible video cards. There are some known excep-
tions, and those should be listed here.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details. This section only covers
configuration details specific to this driver.
The driver auto-detects the presence of VESA-compatible hardware. The ChipSet name may
optionally be specified in the config file "Device" section, and will override the auto-
detection:
"vesa"
The following driver Options are supported:
Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: on.
This option is recommended for performance reasons.
Option "ModeSetClearScreen" "boolean"
Clear the screen on mode set. Some BIOSes seem to be broken in the sense that the
newly set video mode is bogus if they are asked to clear the screen during mode
setting. If you experience problems try to turn this option off. Default: on.
