       vesa - Generic VESA video driver

SYNOPSIS

         Driver "vesa"

       EndSection

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 exceptions, 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.
