+driver, the following framebuffer depths are supported: 8, 15, 16, 24.
+All visual types are supported for depth 8, and TrueColor visual is
+supported for the other depths.  RandR 1.2 is supported.

+details.  This section only covers configuration details specific to

+section.  See above for a sample line.
