|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
vga_setdisplaystart \- set the display start address
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.B "#include <vga.h>"
|
|
|
|
.BI "void vga_setdisplaystart(int " a );
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Set the display start address to
|
|
.IR a ,
|
|
where the address is the
|
|
number of pixels offset from the start of video memory,
|
|
except for hicolor/truecolor modes, which use a unit of
|
|
1 byte. Can be used for page-flipping and virtual desktop
|
|
scrolling. May not work properly for 16 color modes.
|
|
|
|
You should ensure that the memory displayed is actually available on the SVGA
|
|
card (query memory size with
|
|
.BR vga_modeinfo (3))
|
|
and ensure that it is saved by svgalib during console switches with
|
|
.BR vga_claimvideomemory (3).
|
|
|
|
You may only set the bits of the display start address returned by
|
|
.BR vga_modeinfo (3).
