+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B vesa
+is an __xservername__ driver for generic VESA video cards.  It can drive most
+VESA-compatible video cards, but only makes use of the basic standard
+VESA core that is common to these cards.  The driver supports depths 8, 15
+16 and 24.
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+The
+.B vesa
+driver supports most VESA-compatible video cards.  There are some known
+exceptions, and those should be listed here.
+.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
+Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
+details.  This section only covers configuration details specific to this
+driver.
+.PP
+The driver auto-detects the presence of VESA-compatible hardware.  The
+.B ChipSet
+name may optionally be specified in the config file
+.B \*qDevice\*q
+section, and will override the auto-detection:

+The following driver
+.B Options
+are supported:
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default: on.
+
+This option is recommended for performance reasons.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qModeSetClearScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Clear the screen on mode set. Some BIOSes seem to be broken in the
+sense that the newly set video mode is bogus if they are asked to 
+clear the screen during mode setting. If you experience problems try
+to turn this option off. Default: on.
