DESCRIPTION

       These  functions  provide  an  interface  to the server extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
       which allows the video modes to be queried and adjusted dynamically and mode switching  to
       be controlled.  Applications that use these functions must be linked with -lXxf86vm

   MODELINE FUNCTIONS
       The  XF86VidModeGetModeLine  function  is  used  to  query  the settings for the currently
       selected video mode.  The calling program should pass a pointer to  a  XF86VidModeModeLine
       structure  that  it  has  already  allocated.   The  function  fills  in the fields of the
       structure.

       If there are any server private values (currently only applicable to the  S3  server)  the
       function  will  allocate  storage for them.  Therefore, if the privsize field is non-zero,
       the calling program should call Xfree(private) to free the storage.

       XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines returns the settings for all video modes.  The calling  program
       supplies  the  address of a pointer which will be set by the function to point to an array
       of XF86VidModeModeInfo structures.  The  memory  occupied  by  the  array  is  dynamically
       allocated  by  the  XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines function and should be freed by the caller.
       The first element of the array corresponds to the current video mode.

       The XF86VidModeModModeLine function can be used to change  the  settings  of  the  current
       video  mode  provided  the  requested  settings  are  valid  (e.g.  they  don't exceed the
       capabilities of the monitor).

       To add a mode to the list of available modes, the XF86VidModeAddModeLine function  can  be
       used.   Assuming  the  settings are valid, the video mode will be added after the existing
       mode which matches the timings specified by the aftermode parameter.  To be  considered  a
       match, all of the fields of the given XF86VidModeModeInfo structure must match, except the
       privsize and private fields.  If the aftermode parameter is zero, the mode will  be  added
       after the current mode.

       Modes can be deleted with the XF86VidModeDeleteModeLine function.  The specified mode must
       match an existing mode.  To be considered  a  match,  all  of  the  fields  of  the  given
       XF86VidModeModeInfo  structure must match, except the privsize and private fields.  If the
       mode to be deleted is the current mode, a mode switch to the next mode will  occur  first.
       The last remaining mode can not be deleted.

       The  validity  of a mode can be checked with the XF86VidModeValidateModeLine function.  If
       the specified mode can be used by the server (i.e. meets all the constraints placed upon a
       mode  by  the  combination of the server, card, and monitor) the function returns MODE_OK,
       otherwise it returns a value indicating the reason why the mode is invalid (as defined  in
       xf86.h)

   MODE SWITCH FUNCTIONS
       When  the  function XF86VidModeSwitchMode is called, the server will change the video mode
       to next (or previous) video mode. The XF86VidModeSwitchToMode  function  can  be  used  to
       switch directly to the specified mode.  Matching is as specified in the description of the
       XF86VidModeAddModeLine function above.  The XF86VidModeLockModeSwitch function can be used
       to  allow or disallow mode switching whether the request to switch modes comes from a call
       to the XF86VidModeSwitchMode or XF86VidModeSwitchToMode functions or from one of the  mode
       switch key sequences.

       Note:  Because of the asynchronous nature of the X protocol, a call to XFlush is needed if
       the application wants to see the mode change immediately.  To be informed of the execution
       status  of  the request, a custom error handler should be installed using XSetErrorHandler
       before calling the mode switching function.

   MONITOR FUNCTIONS
       Information known to the server about the monitor is returned by the XF86VidModeGetMonitor
       function.   The  hsync  and  vsync  fields  each point to an array of XF86VidModeSyncRange
       structures.  The arrays contain nhsync and nvsync elements, respectively.  The hi and  low
       values will be equal if a discreate value was given in the XF86Config file.

       The  vendor,  model,  hsync,  and vsync fields point to dynamically allocated storage that
       should be freed by the caller.

   VIEWPORT FUNCTIONS
       The  XF86VidModeGetViewPort  and  XF86VidModeSetViewPort  functions  can   be   used   to,
       respectively,  query and change the location of the upper left corner of the viewport into
       the virtual screen.

   OTHER FUNCTIONS
       The XF86VidModeQueryVersion function can be used to determine the version of the extension
       built into the server.

       The  function XF86VidModeQueryExtension returns the lowest numbered error and event values
       assigned to the extension.

BUGS

       The     XF86VidModeSetClientVersion,     XF86VidModeGetDotClocks,     XF86VidModeGetGamma,
       XF86VidModeSetGamma,           XF86VidModeSetGammaRamp,           XF86VidModeGetGammaRamp,
       XF86VidModeGetGammaRampSize,  and   XF86VidModeGetPermissions   functions   need   to   be
       documented.  In the meantime, check the source code for information about how to use them.
