[SunRescue] Linux framebuffer support

[Chris Copp]

What is a framebuffer? I have heard that term used several times before, but
I don't know what it means. Is it a buffer that is on the motherboard or for
a video output?

Thanks,

Chris C. Opp

Mike N recently posted "... I was thinking more like OpenBSD which supports
the framebuffer."  Does this imply that Red Hat (or any other) Linux on a
SPARC does NOT support it?
