Hmm, I have to check my vim settings, sorry.
What about modlines in thees files? This would be helpful and it's just
a one-liner on top of this files.

It have take some times for me to find out what this option is for and
what kind of devices are supported by this option, so at least directfb
is something for the frame buffer the most people know the options are
of course depending on this frame buffer and graphic output related things.
So I think it's worth to explain a little bit more than just 'it's for
the Marvel PXA family foo ...'. But yes, we can discuss about the word
and formulation. ;)
I will rethink about that.

Carsten
