NAME

       display-fbdev - Display using Linux kernel framebuffer devices

SYNOPSIS

       display-fbdev: [ [-noinput] | [ [-nokbd] | [-nomouse] ] ] [-novt]
                      [-physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]] [<framebuffer>]

DESCRIPTION

       Uses the Linux /dev/fb* devices to do fullscreen graphics.

       When  using  a regular fbdev driver, /etc/fb.modes is used to determine
       the available modes for the device.  Driver timings and resolutions can
       be automatically obtained when running under KGIcon.

OPTIONS

       framebuffer
              The  filename  of the framebuffer target to use.  The default is
              to get it from the FRAMEBUFFER environment, or  the  framebuffer
              associated with the current console if that is unset.

       -nokbd Do not open any libraries for keyboard input.

       -nomouse
              Do not open any libraries for mouse input.

       -noinput
              Same as both -nokbd and -nomouse.

       -novt  Disable virtual console support.

       -physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]
              This option will provide a physical screen size for applications
              which wish to remain resolution independent.  sizex,:p:sizey are
              the  x,y  size of the screen in millimeters, unless the optional
              dpi string is affixed, in which case, they represent  resolution
              in dots-per-inch.

       ·   DirectBuffer always available.

       ·   Accelerated when using KGIcon or matroxfb.
