NAME
vga_getmonitortype - returns the monitor type configured
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
int vga_getmonitortype(void);
DESCRIPTION
This returns the monitor type configered in /etc/vga/libvga.config.
This function is really obsolete, as the result is of not much use to
the application vga_getmodeinfo(3) and vga_hasmode(3) do already check
the monitor type and there are more flexible ways to specify it too.
The return value is one of:
MON640_60
31.5 KHz (standard VGA): does 640x480 in 60Hz vsync.
MON800_56
35.1 KHz (old SVGA): does 800x600 in 56Hz vsync.
MON1024_43I
35.5 KHz (low-end SVGA, 8514): does 1024x768 in 43Hz vsync
interlaced.
MON800_60
37.9 KHz (SVGA): does 800x600 in 60Hz vsync.
MON1024_60
48.3 KHz (SVGA non-interlaced): does 1024x768 in 60Hz vsync,
non-interlaced.
MON1024_70
56.0 KHz (SVGA high frequency): does 1024x768 in 70Hz vsync.
MON1024_72
does 1024x768 in 72Hz vsync or even better.
