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(4)  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.
