RADEONFB(4)                  Device Drivers Manual                 RADEONFB(4)

NAME
     radeonfb - ATI Radeon framebuffer driver

SYNOPSIS
     radeonfb* at pci?
     wsdisplay* at radeonfb?

DESCRIPTION
     The radeonfb driver provides support for ATI Radeon GPUs.  The driver
     provides backlight control on laptops via wsconsctl(8), as well as 2D
     acceleration for rasops(9) operations.

     This driver is primarily used on architectures without support for
     drm(4).  On newer systems, radeondrm(4) can be used to take advantage of
     full hardware acceleration.
