+This is a submodule to access linux framebuffer devices.
+It is supported to work as helper module (like vgahw)
+for the chipset drivers. There are functions for
+saving/restoring/setting video modes, set palette entries,
+and a few more helper functions. Some of them can be
+hooked directly into ScrnInfoRec.
+
+In ../drivers/fbdev is a "chipset" driver. It is a simple,
+non-accelerated and hardware-independent driver which works
+on top of this fbdevhw submodule.
