restoretextmode

restoretextmode(1)                                              Svgalib User Manual                                             restoretextmode(1)

NAME

       restoretextmode - save or restore the SVGA registers for textmode.

SYNOPSIS

       restoretextmode {-r|-w} filename

DESCRIPTION

       The state of the SVGA is written to or restored from filename using the vga_gettextmoderegs(3) and vga_settextmoderegs(3) functions.

       As of this writing this file is 385 bytes long but this might change with future versions.

       Please  do  not  fiddle with the contents of the file except when you know what you do. It might even result in hardware damage. Because of
       that, you should think twice to make this command available to all users on your system.

       The purpose of this program is usually to recover from a crashed console due to an svgalib, Xfree or other  program  bug.  First  save  the
       state  of  the  SVGA card when on a text console. After the crash restore this state. The savetextmode(1) and textmode(1) script makes this
       procedure very easy.

OPTIONS

       -w filename
              write the SVGA state to the file filename.

       -r filename
              restore the SVGA state from the file filename.
