2. 相关数据结构
（1）struct fb_info
Linux内核中使用fb_info结构体变量来描述一个framebuffer，在调用register_framebuffer接口注册framebuffer之前，必须要初始化其中的重要数据成员。
struct fb_info中成员众多，我们需要着重关注以下成员：
fb_var_screeninfo：代表可修改的LCD显示参数，如分辨率和像素比特数等；
fb_fix_screeninfo：代表不可修改的LCD属性参数，如显示内存的物理地址和长度等；
fb_ops：LCD底层硬件操作接口集。

3.1 入口函数
FrameBuffer驱动是以模块的形式注册到系统中，在模块初始化时，创建FrameBuffer对应的设备文件及proc文件，并注册FrameBuffer设备操作接口函数fb_fops。
static int __init
fbmem_init(void)
{proc_create("fb", 0, NULL, &fb_proc_fops); //向 proc 文件系统报告驱动状态和参数if (register_chrdev(FB_MAJOR,"fb",&fb_fops)) //注册字符设备驱动，主设备号是29 名称为fbprintk("unable to get major %d for fb devs\n", FB_MAJOR);fb_class = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "graphics"); //创建 /sys/class/graphics 设备类，配合 mdev生成设备文件if (IS_ERR(fb_class)) {printk(KERN_WARNING "Unable to create fb class; errno = %ld\n", PTR_ERR(fb_class));fb_class = NULL;}return 0;
}3.2 fb_fops
在linux设备驱动中，所有的显示缓存设备均由framebuffer子系统内部管理，即linux设备驱动框架只认识一个主设备号为29的framebuffer设备。应用层所有针对显示缓存（最多32个）的访问均会推送给fb_fops进行进一步分发操作。
