The frame buffer device provides a simple and unique interface to -access different kinds of graphic displays. -.PP -Frame buffer devices are accessed via special device nodes located in the -/dev directory. The naming scheme for these nodes is always -.IR \fBfb < n >, -where -.I n -is the number of the used frame buffer device. -.PP -.B fbset -uses an own video mode database located in /etc/fb.modes. An unlimited -number of video modes can be defined in this database. For further -information see -.BR fb.modes (5). -.SH OPTIONS -If no option is given, -.B fbset -will display the current frame buffer settings. -.sp -General options: -.RS -.TP -.BR \-\-help ",\ " \-h -display an usage information -.TP -.BR \-\-now ",\ " \-n -change the video mode immediately.
