      <para>
        The <application>Xorg Fbdev Driver</application> package contains the X.Org
        Video Driver for framebuffer devices. This driver is often used as fallback
        driver if the hardware specific and VESA drivers fail to load or are not
        present. If this driver is not installed, Xorg Server will print a warning
        on startup, but it can be safely ignored if hardware specific driver works
        well.
