+
+What is gxfb?
+=================
+
+This is a graphics framebuffer driver for AMD Geode GX2 based processors.
+
+Advantages:
+
+ * No need to use AMD's VSA code (or other VESA emulation layer) in the
+ BIOS.
+ * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
+ without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
+ * You can run XF68_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0
+ * Most important: boot logo :-)
+
+Disadvantages:
+
+ * graphic mode is slower than text mode...
+
+
+How to use it?
+==============
+
+Switching modes is done using gxfb.mode_option=<resolution>... boot
+parameter or using `fbset' program.
+
+See Documentation/fb/modedb.txt for more information on modedb
+resolutions.
+
+
+X11
+===
+
+XF68_FBDev should generally work fine, but it is non-accelerated.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You can pass kernel command line options to gxfb with gxfb.<option>.
+For example, gxfb.mode_option=800x600@75.
+Accepted options:
+
+mode_option - specify the video mode. Of the form
+ <x>x<y>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
+vram - size of video ram (normally auto-detected)
