If successful, +it reports the display resolution and bit depth. + +By default, it opens **/dev/fb0**. The *device* option overrides this. + +There are no options. + +EXIT STATUS +=========== + +0 (success) if the framebuffer exists and can be opened. + +Non-zero means failure: the device doesn't exist, the permissions +don't allow opening it, or possibly the kernel doesn't support +framebuffer devices at all. + +EXAMPLES +======== + +:: + + # checkfb + The framebuffer device (/dev/fb0) was opened successfully. + 1920x1080, 32bpp + The framebuffer device was mapped to memory successfully. + +COPYRIGHT +========= + +checkfb is released under the GPL (according to the comments in its source). + +AUTHORS +======= + +checkfb was originally written by Trolltech, and was modified by +Sébastien Ballet. + +This man page written for the SlackBuilds.org project +by B.
