+# The options part of the kernel "video=" argument (i.e. everyting
+# after "video=<fbdriver>:") has very inconsistent rules.
+#
+# Generally the following applies:
+# 1) options are comma-separated
+# 2) options can be in either of these three forms:
+#    <arg>=<value>, <arg>:<value>, <boolean-arg>.
+# 3) the "mode" option has the form <xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][@<refresh>][i][m]
+#    and may or may not start with "mode="
+#
+# When the options are used with modules, they need to be space-separated
+# and the following conversions are needed:
+#	<arg>:<value> -> <arg>=<value>
+#	<boolean-arg> -> <boolean-arg>=1
+#	<modevalue>   -> mode=<modevalue>
