NAME

       vga_setlogicalwidth - set the logical scanline width

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_setlogicalwidth(int l);

DESCRIPTION

       Set  the  logical  scanline width to l bytes. It must be a multiple of 8. Only changes the
       VGA register, drawing functions don't take it into account. The logical scan line width is
       the  offset between points above each other in consecutive lines. Note that for some cards
       and graphics modes a multiple of 8 will not suffice to ensure a proper video  timing.  You
       should  only  set  l  to  multiples  of  the  value  returned  for  that  graphics mode by
       vga_modeinfo(3).
