.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Fill a rectangular area in video memory with a single color
|
|
.IR color .
|
|
.I destaddr

|
is an offset into video memory (up to 2M). The
|

.I pitch
|

is the logical width of the screen. Height

This is an old style function to access the accelerator of an SVGA card. Before calling
|
|
it you should check for availability of the function in the mode you use with
|
|
.BR vga_getmodeinfo (3).
|
|
|
|
For new applications you might be better of trying to use
|
|
.BR vga_accel (3)
|
|
instead.

|
|
|
The old
|
|
.BR vga_bitblt (3),
|
|
.BR vga_blitwait (3),
|
|
.BR vga_fillblt (3),
|
|
.BR vga_hlinelistblt "(3), and "
|
|
.BR vga_imageblt (3)
|
|
interface was originally designed for the Cirrus chipsets. Then Mach32 added support too
|
|
but has problems to resemble the unintuitive Cirrus interface. Then these new ideas
|
|
were reinjected and
|
|
.BR vga_accel (3)
|
|
was designed. Now Cirrus and Chips & Technologies chipset give limited
|
|
.BR vga_accel (3)
|
|
support but no longer this old style support.
|
|
Mach32 is left to use the unintuitive Cirrus interface. At some future point the
|
|
functions might be added for Mach32 too (which should be rather simple), so new
|
|
applications should use the newer and probably more efficient interface.
|
|
|
|
It would be fatal if the accelerator would be used while the console is switched away.
|
|
You should use
|
|
.BR vga_lockvc (3)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR vga_unlockvc (3)
|
|
to avoid this, although good implementations of the accelerator functions (like Mach32)
|
|
will already ensure that.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.BR testaccel (6)
|
|
demo utilizes the old style accelerator functions.

exact source of the referenced function as well as of the original documentation is

It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to
