SvgaLib/utils/fix132x43.c

/*
   This file assumes 132 column textmode :-).

   This program tries to fix problems with extended textmodes on some cards. The problem is that for 132x43 textmode, some
   BIOSes set the vertical display end register to 349 (350), instead of 343 (344 = 3 * 8 scanlines). Because in Linux textmode
   video memory is usually filled with old text that has already scrolled away (this includes the area below the 43rd textmode
   line, which changes when the console scrolls), the top half of a constantly changing irrelevant text line is visible
   at the bottom of the screen, which is very annoying.

   This program sets the VGA Vertical Display End register to the proper value.

   The problem is at least present in the BIOS of most Cirrus Logic 542x based cards, and some WD90C03x based cards.


   You can also change the number scanlines and number of lines per character of 132x43 textmode to improve readability.


   VGA CRTC 0x12        bits 0-7        Vertical Display End Register bits 0-7
   VGA CRTC 0x07        bit 1           Vertical Display End Register bit 8

   Cirrus 542x BIOS v1.10 132x43:       0x15d (349)     (this is the wrong value that the BIOS sets)
   Correct value for 132x43:    0x157 (343)
   Correct value for 132x44:    0x15f (351)


   VGA CRTC 0x09        bits 0-4        Number of scanlines in a textmode font character.
   VGA MiscOut  bits 6-7        Indicates number of scanlines: 1 = 400, 2 = 350, 3 = 480.
   VGA CRTC 0x06   bits 0-7     Vertical Total register bits 0-7 (should be #scanlines - 2)
   Bit 8 is in VGA CRTC 0x07, bit 0
   Bit 9 is in VGA CRTC 0x07, bit 5
   VGA CRTC 0x10        bits 0-7        Vertical Retrace Start
   Bit 8 is in VGA CRTC 0x07, bit 2
   Bit 9 is in VGA CRTC 0x07, bit 7
   VGA CRTC 0x11        bits 0-3        Vertical Retrace End (last 4 bits)
   VGA CRTC 0x15        bits 0-7        Vertical Blank Start
   Bit 8 is in VGA CRTC 0x07 bit 3
