10. Using framebuffer devices on Alpha platforms

10.1 What modes are available to me?

So far, there is only the TGA PCI card - which only does 80x30 with a resolution of 640x480 at either 8 bits or 24/32 bits.

10.2 Which graphic cards can work with the frambuffer device?

This lists all the graphic cards that are known to work:

• DEC TGA PCI (DEC21030) - 640x480 @ 8 bit or 24/32 bit versions
