- From a users point of view: if there are only to be framebuffer devices listed
in this class, why not call it just what it is: "Framebuffer" ? Naming it
after something it is only in a broad sense makes no sense to me. I'd be
looking in /sys/.../framebuffer instead of /sys/.../graphics or /display.

Display would be the EDID info of my screen (physical), and graphics...
well... I'd half expect something like capture cards to be there...

Just my 0.02EUR.
