4. Frame Buffer Resolution Maintenance

Frame buffer resolutions are maintained using the utility fbset. It can change the video mode properties of a frame buffer device. Its main usage is to change the current video mode, e.g. during boot up in one of your /etc/rc.* or /etc/init.d/* files.

Fbset uses a video mode database stored in a configuration file, so you can easily add your own modes and refer to them with a simple identifier.
