Modules

Abstraction over Linux framebuffer devices.

When the device is running in :truecolor or :directcolor (found in :fix_screeninfo), then the :red, :blue, :green, and :transp properties of :var_screeninfo will be bitfields describing the memory layout of color components.

A representation of fb_fix_screeninfo as defined in linux/fb.h. This encapsulates device-independent info about the buffer device and its current format. These properties are immutable from userspace by direct calls, though they may change when the format is changed.

A representation of fb_var_screeninfo as defined in linux/fb.h. This encapsulates device-independent info about the buffer device, its format and video mode, and "other miscellaneous parameters." These properties are mutable via the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl.
