Begin3 Title: fb - a framebuffer device for linux Version: 10JUN95 pre-alpha work in progress snap-shot Entered-date: 10JUN95 Description: fb implements a framebuffer device for linux that controls the vga card of the system. The framebuffer device manages several programs sharing access to the vga card and protects hardware and system from badly behaved programs. Note: This is pre-alpha software. It is useful only for people that want to participate in driver/library development. It is not really usable yet.
