+qvfb \- Virtual framebuffer for Qt
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.LP
+The virtual framebuffer allows Qt/Embedded programs to be
+developed on your desktop machine, without switching
+between consoles and X11.
+
+Start a Qt/Embedded master application (i.e., construct
+QApplication with QApplication::GuiServer flag or use the
+\-qws command line parameter). You will need to specify to
+the server that you wish to use the virtual framebuffer
+driver, e.g.:
+
+ widgets \-qws \-display QVFb:0
+
+You may prefer to set the QWS_DISPLAY environment
+variable to be QVFb:0.
+
+qvfb supports the following command line options:
+
+ \-width width: the width of the virtual framebuffer
+ (default: 240).
+ \-height height: the height of the virtual framebuffer
+ (default: 320).
+ \-depth depth: the depth of the virtual framebuffer (1, 8
+ or 32; default: 8).
+ \-nocursor: do not display the X11 cursor in the
+ framebuffer window.
+ \-qwsdisplay :id the Qt/Embedded display id to provide
+ (default: 0).
+
+ Virtual Framebuffer Design
+
+The virtual framebuffer emulates a framebuffer using a
+shared memory region (the virtual frame buffer) and a
+utility to display the framebuffer in a window (qvfb).
+The regions of the display that have changed are updated
+periodically, so you will see discrete snapshots of the
+framebuffer rather than each individual drawing
+operation. For this reason drawing problems such as
+flickering may not be apparent until the program is run
+using a real framebuffer.
+
+The target refresh rate can be set via the "View|Refresh
+Rate" menu item. This will cause qvfb to check for
+updated regions more quickly. The rate is a target only.
+If little drawing is being done, the framebuffer will not
+show any updates between drawing events. If an
+application is displaying an animation the updates will
+be frequent, and the application and qvfb will compete
+for processor time.
+
+Mouse and keyboard events are passed to the Qt/Embedded
+master process via named pipes.
+
+The virtual framebuffer is a development tool only. No
+security issues have been considered in the virtual
+framebuffer design. It should be avoided in a production
+environment; QT_NO_QWS_VFB should always be defined in
+production libraries.
