Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS 2828e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited 2829e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann to x86. 2830e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic 2831e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be 2832e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic 2833e3a5dc08SNikolas Nyby modes, it is advertised as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy 2834e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up. 2835e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always 2836e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual. 2837e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2838e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will 2839e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option 2840e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann is selected.
