+
+What is efifb?
+===============
+
+This is a generic EFI platform driver for Intel based Apple computers.
+efifb is only for EFI booted Intel Macs.
+
+Supported Hardware
+==================
+
+iMac 17"/20"
+Macbook
+Macbook Pro 15"/17"
+MacMini
+
+How to use it?
+==============
+
+efifb does not have any kind of autodetection of your machine.
+You have to add the following kernel parameters in your elilo.conf:
+ Macbook :
+ video=efifb:macbook
+ MacMini :
+ video=efifb:mini
+ Macbook Pro 15", iMac 17" :
+ video=efifb:i17
+ Macbook Pro 17", iMac 20" :
+ video=efifb:i20
+
+Accepted options:
+
+nowc Don't map the framebuffer write combined. This can be used
+ to workaround side-effects and slowdowns on other CPU cores
+ when large amounts of console data are written.
