Indeed.

The documentation points to a github page and is more about compiling the 
driver. 
The package creates a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf with the 
required settings, but it fails to load:


[    34.960] (II) LoadModule: "fbturbo"
[    34.961] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fbturbo_drv.so
[    34.984] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/
fbturbo_drv.so: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fbturbo_drv.so: undefined 
symbol: shadowUpdatePacked
[    34.984] (EE) Failed to load module "fbturbo" (loader failed, 0)

I have created https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163230 for this

Thanks
Axel
