SYNOPSIS

10       #include <vga.h>

12       void vga_gettextmoderegs(void *state);
13       void vga_settextmoderegs(void *state);

DESCRIPTION

17       The functions gives access to the buffer where svgalib  saves  the  vga
18       state  which is use when the kernel displays text on the SVGA.  This is
19       used by the restoretextmode(1), savetextmode(1), and textmode(1) utili‐
20       ties to restore a possibly screwed console.
21
22       The  buffer  currently occupies 385 bytes. It can't do any harm to make
23       it substantially larger to allow for future enhancements.
