+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B modesetting
+is an __xservername__ driver for KMS devices. This is a non-accelerated
+driver, the following framebuffer depths are supported: 8, 15, 16, 24.
+All visual types are supported for depth 8, and TrueColor visual is
+supported for the other depths. RandR 1.2 is supported.
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+The
+.B modesetting
+driver supports all hardware where a KMS driver is available.
+modesetting uses the Linux DRM KMS ioctls and dumb object create/map.
+.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
+Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
+details. This section only covers configuration details specific to
+this driver.
+.PP
+For this driver it is not required to specify modes in the screen
+section of the config file. The
+.B modesetting
+driver can pick up the currently used video mode from the kernel
+driver and will use it if there are no video modes configured.
+.PP
+For PCI boards you might have to add a BusID line to the Device
+section. See above for a sample line.
+.PP
