+=============
+What is gxfb?
+=============
+
+.. [This file is cloned from VesaFB/aty128fb]
+
+This is a graphics framebuffer driver for AMD Geode GX2 based processors.
+
+Advantages:
+
+ * No need to use AMD's VSA code (or other VESA emulation layer) in the
+   BIOS.
+ * 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...
+
+
+How to use it?
+==============
+
+Switching modes is done using  gxfb.mode_option=<resolution>... boot
+parameter or using `fbset` program.
+
+See Documentation/fb/modedb.rst for more information on modedb
+resolutions.
+
+
+X11
+===
+
+XF68_FBDev should generally work fine, but it is non-accelerated.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You can pass kernel command line options to gxfb with gxfb.<option>.
+For example, gxfb.mode_option=800x600@75.
+Accepted options:
+
+================ ==================================================
+mode_option	 specify the video mode.  Of the form
+		 <x>x<y>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
+vram		 size of video ram (normally auto-detected)
+vt_switch	 enable vt switching during suspend/resume.  The vt
+		 switch is slow, but harmless.
