.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|

|

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
Returns the default graphics mode number from the
|
||
|
.B SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE
|
||
|
environment variable. If undefined, the from the
|
||
|
.B default_mode
|
||
|
configuration file
|
||
|
option. If that is not available as well, returns 10 (G640x480x256). The
|
||
|
mode value in the environment variable or configuration file can either be a mode number or a mode name. See
|
||
|
.BR vga_setmode (3)
|
||
|
for a list of predefined return values and their meaning. The mode names which can be used
|
||
|
in the environment are those used by
|
||
|
.BR vga_getmodename (3)
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.BR vga_getmodenumber (3).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whenever your application has no special need for a given mode you should always try to
|
||
|
honour this setting for consistency among svgalib applications.
