RTFM :-) Please read the XFree86 doc either that was installed on
your system, or at http://www.xfree86.org
For XFree86 version 3.x the X server to use is XF86_FB for framebuffer
This has been there a long time as one way to support any video
chipset
which doesn't have (yet...) a specific driver.
It only requires that you have a VESA BIOS 2.x or more (it uses VESA
BIOS extensions to find hardware setup parameters) and allows you
to support all modes supported by your card's BIOS, but _without_
any hardware acceleration.
