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(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.   See  shadowfb(4) for further information.
	      Default: on.

	      This option is recommended for performance reasons.
