Terminology for graphics driver writers

NFB

No Frame Buffer, which refers to the intelligent graphics chip architecture used to speed the performance of the X Window System by moving many I/O operations to the graphics chip itself. NFB also refers to the API provided for SVR5, SCO OpenServer 5, and AIX 5L systems that allows the DDX layer of a graphics driver to implement software that takes advantage of the faster hardware without understanding the internals of the X server.
