+ Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,

+ drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
+ If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
+ marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
+
+ Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
+ not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
+ is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
