• 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
  qDeviceq section, and will override the auto-detection:
  
  
  
  
  "vesa"
  
  
  
  
  The following driver
  Options are supported:
  

  Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q boolean q

  Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default: on.
  
  This option is recommended for performance reasons.
  

  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.
