NAME

       gl_setcontextvga - set the context to the physical screen

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgagl.h>

       int gl_setcontextvga(int mode);

DESCRIPTION

       Set  the  graphics  context  to  the  physical  screen  of  a  vga  mode  (as  defined  in
       vga_setmode(3)).  The mode must be set with vga_setmode(3)  prior  to  using  any  of  the
       drawing functions.  vgagl does not take care of that.

       The  function  returns  0  for  success  and  non-zero if the mode is not supported by the
       hardware.

       The only thing you can do with a planar (mode X-like) 256 color mode is aligned gl_putbox,
       and use it as a target for gl_copyscreen.

       In all of the svga modes this program makes a description of the vga mode available to the
       vgagl functions.  The 256 color svgamodes are handled properly by this program.
