+CONFIG_FB_TCX
+ This is the frame buffer device driver for the TCX 24/8bit frame buffer.
+
+Virtual Frame Buffer support (ONLY FOR TESTING!)
+CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL
+ This is a `virtual' frame buffer device. It operates on a chunk of
+ unswapable kernel memory instead of on the memory of a graphics board.
+ This means you cannot see any output sent to this frame buffer device,
+ while it does consume precious memory. The main use of this frame
+ buffer device is testing and debugging the frame buffer subsystem. Do
+ NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect the innocent, it has to
+ be enabled explicitly on boot time using the kernel option `video=vfb:'.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called vfb.o. If you want to compile it as
+ a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+Advanced low level driver options
+CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED
+ The frame buffer console uses character drawing routines that are
+ tailored to the specific organization of pixels in the memory of your
+ graphics hardware. These are called the low level frame buffer console
+ drivers. Note that they are used for text console output only; they are
+ NOT needed for graphical applications.
+
+ If you do not enable this option, the needed low level drivers are
+ automatically enabled, depending on what frame buffer devices you
+ selected. This is recommended for most users.
+
+ If you enable this option, you have more fine-grained control over which
+ low level drivers are enabled. You can e.g. leave out low level drivers
+ for color depths you do not intend to use for text consoles.
+
+ Low level frame buffer console drivers can be modules ( = code which
+ can be inserted and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The modules will be called fbcon-*.o. If you want to compile (some of)
+ them as modules, read Documentation/modules.txt.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
