Nvidia framebuffer works like ATI?

 

The framebuffer controls the basic functions like resolution, refresh rate, and output type.

Each framebuffer is designed to run on a particular model of mac, and only supports the features it\\\'s designed for.

examples :

-The Sphyrna framebuffer is designed for Xserve which has no primary output, but only an external one, as secondary. As a consequence, this driver may be used to run a board with RV516 or close GPU, but will never be able to output something on the primary output.

-The Iago framebuffer is designed for iMacs with RV610 GPUs with an internal display using LVDS signal. It\\\'s then impossible to use a DVI or VGA display on the primary output. However the secondary output supports DVI + VGA, since the iMac have an external output that supports this kind of displays.

The 1st wave of framebuffer codenames are sharks (Alopias, Sphyrna, Iago, Hyproprion, Lamna, Megalodon, Triakis, Prionace, Caretta) later are birds (Franklin, Motmot, Quail, Raven).
