man zapping_setup_fb (Commandes) - sets up the Framebuffer for Zapping
NAME
zapping_setup_fb - sets up the Framebuffer for Zapping
SYNOPSIS
zapping_setup_fb [-?, --help] [--bpp NUMBER] [--device FILENAME] [--display NAME] [--quiet] [--usage] [--verbose] [--version]
DESCRIPTION
zapping_setup_fb is a small program intended to be installed as suid root that sets up the Framebuffer. If you have pam installed, it can be pam'ified too.
PURPOSE
Overlaying TV in the video ram requires the driver to know the destination address in memory. To set this value root permissions are needed, this is why zapping_setup_fb needs this level of privileges. I've tried to make it secure, but better don't trust it very much.
