NAME
     vesa - Generic VESA video driver

SYNOPSIS
     Section "Device"
       Identifier "devname"
       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 sec-
     tion 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" sec-
     tion, 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.
