NAME

       gl_setcontextvgavirtual - set the context to a virtual mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgagl.h>

       int gl_setcontextvgavirtual(int mode);

DESCRIPTION

       Allocate  a  virtual screen in system memory identical to the graphics mode (as defined in
       vga_setmode(3)), and make that the current graphics context.

       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.
