Description

The uvesafb framebuffer driver can use a userspace helper to run x86 video BIOS code in an emulated environment. It is useful for legacy graphics setups that need framebuffer modes not handled by simpler drivers.

This is low-level boot and graphics support, not a desktop application. Incorrect framebuffer setup can affect console display, so administrators should keep a recovery path available.
