SYNOPSIS

10
11       int vga_getdefaultmode(void);

DESCRIPTION

15       Returns  the default graphics mode number from the SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE
16       environment variable. If undefined, the from the default_mode  configu‐
17       ration  file  option.  If  that  is  not  available as well, returns 10
18       (G640x480x256). The mode value in the environment variable or  configu‐
19       ration  file  can  either be a mode number or a mode name. See vga_set‐
20       mode(3) for a list of predefined return values and their  meaning.  The
21       mode  names  which  can  be  used  in the environment are those used by
22       vga_getmodename(3) and vga_getmodenumber(3).
23
24       Whenever your application has no special need  for  a  given  mode  you
25       should  always try to honour this setting for consistency among svgalib
26       applications.
