NAME

       vga_setdisplaystart - set the display start address

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_setdisplaystart(int a);

DESCRIPTION

       Set  the display start address to a, where the address is the number of pixels offset from
       the start of video memory, except for hicolor/truecolor modes, which use a unit of 1 byte.
       Can  be used for page-flipping and virtual desktop scrolling. May not work properly for 16
       color modes.

       You should ensure that the memory displayed is actually available on the SVGA card  (query
       memory  size  with  vga_modeinfo(3)) and ensure that it is saved by svgalib during console
       switches with vga_claimvideomemory(3).

       You may only set the bits of the display start address returned by vga_modeinfo(3).
