vga_getmonitortype3
Returns the monitor type configured
Usage
#include <vga.h>
int vga_getmonitortype(void);
Overview
This returns the monitor type configered in /etc/vga/libvga.config. This function is really obsolete, as the result is of not much use to the application vga_getmodeinfo(3) and vga_hasmode(3) do already check the monitor type and there are more flexible ways to specify it too.
The return value is one of:
|
31.5 KHz (standard VGA): does 640x480 in 60Hz vsync. |
|---|---|
|
35.1 KHz (old SVGA): does 800x600 in 56Hz vsync. |
|
35.5 KHz (low-end SVGA, 8514): does 1024x768 in 43Hz vsync interlaced. |
|
37.9 KHz (SVGA): does 800x600 in 60Hz vsync. |
|
48.3 KHz (SVGA non-interlaced): does 1024x768 in 60Hz vsync, non-interlaced. |
|
56.0 KHz (SVGA high frequency): does 1024x768 in 70Hz vsync. |
|
does 1024x768 in 72Hz vsync or even better. |
