vga_getmodeinfo

NAME

vga_getmodeinfo - returns pointer to mode information structure for a mode

#include <vga.h>

vga_cardinfo *vga_getcardinfo(void);

The function returns a pointer to a card information structure which is filled out with details about the video card in use mode.

#include <vga.h> defines vga_cardinfo as

typedef struct {
int version;
int size;
int chipset;
int physmem;
} vga_modeinfo;

The fields meaning in detail:

size: Size of the cardinfo structure. The structure is malloc()ed, and the program should free it when no longer needed.
chipset: Number of the chispet driver used to drive the card. Same list as is used in the vga_setchipset function.
physmem: Physical address of the linear memory aperture of the card. This is needed for example for setting the video overlay of v4l devices.
