This is a non-accelerated +driver, the following framebuffer depths are supported: 8, 15, 16, 24. +All visual types are supported for depth 8, and TrueColor visual is +supported for the other depths. RandR 1.2 is supported. +.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The +.B modesetting +driver supports all hardware where a KMS driver is available. +modesetting uses the Linux DRM KMS ioctls and dumb object create/map. +.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS +Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration +details.
