+.TH con2fbmap 1 2006-01-18 2.1 "Linux frame buffer utils"
+.SH NAME
+con2fbmap \- shows and sets mapping between consoles and framebuffer devices.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B con2fbmap
+.RI console
+.RI [ framebuffer ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B This documentation is not finished
+.PP
+.B con2fbmap
+is a system utility to show or change the mapping of the consoles  to the
+frame buffer device. The frame buffer device provides a simple and unique
+interface to access different kinds of graphic displays.
+.PP
+Frame buffer devices are accessed via special device nodes located in the
+/dev directory. The naming scheme for these nodes is always
+.IR \fBfb < n >,
+where
+.I n
+is the number of the used frame buffer device.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+The first option must be there, and identify the console on which to work.
+If the second option is not set, con2fbmap shows the current mapping of
+identified console. If the second argument is given (as a number) con2fbmap
+maps the identified console to said framebuffer device.
