+ bool "Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer"
+ help
+ Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
+ bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
+ user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
+ Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
+ to x86.
+ This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
+ framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
+ used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
+ modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
+ drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
+ If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
+ marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
+
+ Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
+ not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
+ is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
+ replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
+ with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
+ and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
+ incompatible with simplefb.
