+	---help---
+	  This framework adds support for low-level control of a display.
+	  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
+	  select the proper drivers which depend on this option.
