X Version 11                                  xf86-video-vesa 2.6.0                                      VESA(4)

Configuration Details

       Please  refer  to xorg.conf(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.

       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.
