  <H2><A NAME="4"></A>4. Frame Buffer Resolution Maintenance</H2>
<p>Frame buffer resolutions are maintained using the utility <em>fbset</em>. 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
<code>/etc/rc.*</code> or <code>/etc/init.d/*</code> files.</p>
<p>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.</p>
