+          This includes support for power.
+
+          Enable this to be able to choose the drivers for controlling the
+          physical display panel/monitor on some platforms. This not only
+          covers LCD displays for PDAs but also other types of displays
+          such as CRT, TVout etc.
+
+          To have support for your specific display panel you will have to
