DESCRIPTION

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 exceptions, and those should be listed

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

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.
