.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
|
|
Drivers using this module, like fbdev, usually have options
|
|
for setting the desired framebuffer device in xorg.conf.
|
|
For drivers that don't, or if this isn't set in xorg.conf,
|
|
fbdevhw also reads the FRAMEBUFFER environment variable for
|
|
the path to the framebuffer device it should use.
