devg-vesabios.so

Generic graphics driver (VESA 2.0)

Syntax:

io-display [-vf]
           -d vid=[0x]vendor_id,did=[0x]device_id[,deviceindex=index]
           [-c config_file] [-p priority]

Runs on:

Neutrino

Targets:

x86

Options:

For the general io-display options that you can use with this driver, see io-display.

Description:

The devg-vesabios.so driver provides 2D support for the specified graphics chipsets.

---

This is a “safe”, generic graphics driver. However, it can negatively impact the timing of a system and affect realtime operations. We recommended you use an accelerated driver instead, if at all possible. Graphics drivers run at a higher priority than applications, but they shouldn't run at a higher priority than the audio, or else breaks in the audio occur. You can use the on command to adjust the priorities of the audio and graphics drivers.

Supported chipsets

• Any video adapter compliant with VESA 2.0 (or greater)

Acceleration features

None

Video Overlay/Scaler support

None

Other features

Restrictions:

• TV Out provision depends on BIOS capability.

Resolution and refresh support

Restrictions:

• BIOS capability determines which of these resolutions and color depths are available on your system.
• Other refresh rates may be available if the BIOS is VESA 3.0.

Files:

This driver needs the following at run time:

libffb.so

Software rasterization library.
