NAME

       vga_reset - reset video graphic board

SYNOPSIS

       vga_reset

DESCRIPTION

       Call   real   mode   c000:0003,   which  should  be  the  video  card’s
       initialization routine. Should work in some cases when mode3  fails  to
       restore text mode.

BUGS

       Using  this program is unsafe, and might (depending on the bios) result
       in a video card in a state that requires a hard  reset  to  restore  to
       normal, or even a hung computer.

SEE ALSO

       mode3(8).
