+The VESA framebuffer console uses the same locally-attached keyboard and monitor as the BIOS console, but allows for higher resolutions, arbitrary colours, and background pictures.  You can enable or disable the VESA framebuffer console using the build option ''[[:buildcfg:CONSOLE_VESAFB]]''.
+To activate the VESA framebuffer console, you must use the ''[[:cmd:console]]'' command to configure the console.
+To use background pictures, you must enable support for a suitable image format, such as ''[[:buildcfg:IMAGE_PNG]]''.
