NAME

       vga_screenoff, vga_screenon - turn generation of the video signal on or off

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_screenoff(void);
       int vga_screenon(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  functions  turn  the  generation of the video signal on or off. On some video boards,
       SVGA memory access is faster when no video signal is generated. On the other hand, not all
       boards allow to disable it (at least not in all modes).

       The functions always return 0 (on which you should probably not really rely).

       source of the referenced function as well as of the original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least  to  some  extent  are  due  to  Harm  Hanemaayer

       Occasionally  this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and
