+=================
+What is aty128fb?
+=================
+
+.. [This file is cloned from VesaFB/matroxfb]
+
+This is a driver for a graphic framebuffer for ATI Rage128 based devices
+on Intel and PPC boxes.
+
+Advantages:
+
+ * 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... but you should not notice
+   if you use same resolution as you used in textmode.
+ * still experimental.
+
+
+How to use it?
+==============
+
+Switching modes is done using the  video=aty128fb:<resolution>... modedb
+boot parameter or using `fbset` program.
+
+See Documentation/fb/modedb.rst for more information on modedb
+resolutions.
+
+You should compile in both vgacon (to boot if you remove your Rage128 from
+box) and aty128fb (for graphics mode). You should not compile-in vesafb
+unless you have primary display on non-Rage128 VBE2.0 device (see
+Documentation/fb/vesafb.rst for details).
+
+
+X11
+===
+
+XF68_FBDev should generally work fine, but it is non-accelerated. As of
+this document, 8 and 32bpp works fine.  There have been palette issues
+when switching from X to console and back to X.  You will have to restart
+X to fix this.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You can pass kernel command line options to vesafb with
+`video=aty128fb:option1,option2:value2,option3` (multiple options should
+be separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:`).
+Accepted options:
+
+========= =======================================================
+noaccel   do not use acceleration engine. It is default.
+accel     use acceleration engine. Not finished.
+vmode:x   chooses PowerMacintosh video mode <x>. Deprecated.
+cmode:x   chooses PowerMacintosh colour mode <x>. Deprecated.
+<XxX@X>   selects startup videomode. See modedb.txt for detailed
+	  explanation. Default is 640x480x8bpp.
+========= =======================================================
+
+
+Limitations
+===========
+
+There are known and unknown bugs, features and misfeatures.
+Currently there are following known bugs:
+
+ - This driver is still experimental and is not finished.  Too many
+   bugs/errata to list here.
