NAME¶
vga_screenoff, vga_screenon - turn generation of the video signal on or off
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <vga.h>
int vga_screenoff(void);
int vga_screenon(void);
DESCRIPTION¶
The functions turn the generation of the video signal on or off. On some video
boards, SVGA memory access is faster when no video signal is generated. On the
other hand, not all boards allow to disable it (at least not in all modes).
The functions always return 0 (on which you should probably not really rely).
