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.
