Almost all documents are update, man page says: Please refer to
xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details.  This section only
covers configuration details specific to this driver.

The following driver Options are supported:
 Option "kmsdev" "string"
              The framebuffer device to use. Default: /dev/dri/card0.

 Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
              Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.
Default: on.

Manual page of xorg.conf(5) you got more help included : 
 
Option "ModeDebug" "boolean"
              Enable printing of additional debugging information about
modesetting to the server log.
