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 stan-
       dard  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(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 "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.
