NAME¶
vga_getmonitortype - returns the monitor type configured
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <vga.h>
int vga_getmonitortype(void);
DESCRIPTION¶
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:
- MON640_60
- 31.5 KHz (standard VGA): does 640x480 in 60Hz vsync.
- MON800_56
- 35.1 KHz (old SVGA): does 800x600 in 56Hz vsync.
- MON1024_43I
- 35.5 KHz (low-end SVGA, 8514): does 1024x768 in 43Hz vsync
interlaced.
- MON800_60
- 37.9 KHz (SVGA): does 800x600 in 60Hz vsync.
- MON1024_60
- 48.3 KHz (SVGA non-interlaced): does 1024x768 in 60Hz
vsync, non-interlaced.
- MON1024_70
- 56.0 KHz (SVGA high frequency): does 1024x768 in 70Hz
vsync.
- MON1024_72
- does 1024x768 in 72Hz vsync or even better.
