Dear Marco,

This depends on the implementation. Often you will find some device
driver provided by the chip manufacturer (or some other third
parties). And often this driver will provide a standard framebuffer
interface.

It might have one after adding the driver to your kernel source tree :-)

Parameters are passed in registers plus some data structure in RAM.
How and where Linux stores this information depends on a couple of
things, like processor architecture and kernel version.

Why do you ask?

[Maybe we should move this discussion into a Linux group?]

Best regards,
