.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.B vesa
|
|
|
|
|
is an __xservername__ 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.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B vesa
|
|
|
|
|
driver supports most VESA-compatible video cards. There are some known
|
|
|
|
|
exceptions, and those should be listed here.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
|
|
|
|
|
Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
|
|
|
|
|
details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this
|
|
|
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The driver auto-detects the presence of VESA-compatible hardware. The
|
|
|
|
|
.B ChipSet
|
|
|
|
|
name may optionally be specified in the config file
|
|
|
|
|
.B \*qDevice\*q
|
|
|
|
|
section, and will override the auto-detection:

The following driver

|
|
.B Options
|
|
|
|
|
are supported:
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
|
|
|
|
Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option is recommended for performance reasons.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.BI "Option \*qModeSetClearScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
|
|
|
|
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.
