Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS 2375e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited 2376e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann to x86. 2377e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic 2378e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be 2379e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic 2380e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy 2381e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up. 2382e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always 2383e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual. 2384e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2385e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will 2386e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option 2387e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as 2388e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal 2389e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb 2390e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is 2391e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann incompatible with simplefb. 2392e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2393e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann If unsure, say Y. 2394e3263ab3SDavid Herrmann 2395e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgendmenu 2396e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2397e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2398e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgmenu "Executable file formats / Emulations" 2399e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2400e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "fs/Kconfig.binfmt" 2401e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2402e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgconfig IA32_EMULATION 2403e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg bool "IA32 Emulation" 2404e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg depends on X86_64 2405d1603990SRandy Dunlap select BINFMT_ELF 2406a97f52e6SRoland McGrath select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF 2407af1839ebSCatalin Marinas select HAVE_UID16 24088f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 24095fd92e65SH.
