NAME

       vesa - Generic VESA video driver

SYNOPSIS

       Section "Device"
	 Identifier "devname"
	 Driver "vesa"
	 ...
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION

       vesa  is  an  XFree86  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 XF86Config(5x) 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.
