# NAME

`radeonfb` — ATI Radeon framebuffer driver

# SYNOPSIS

`radeonfb* at pci?`
`wsdisplay* at radeonfb?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `radeonfb` driver provides support for ATI Radeon GPUs. The driver provides backlight control on laptops via wsconsctl(8), as well as 2D acceleration for rasops(9) operations.

This driver is primarily used on architectures without support for drm(4). On newer systems, radeondrm(4) can be used to take advantage of full hardware acceleration.
