gl_setwritemode(3) Svgalib User Manual gl_setwritemode(3)NAME
gl_setwritemode - set the font writemode flags
SYNOPSIS
#include <vgagl.h>
void gl_setwritemode(int m);
DESCRIPTION
Sets the writemode flags for the font routines. It must be the sum of exactly one choice out of the following two groups:
WRITEMODE_MASKED
WRITEMODE_OVERWRITE (default)
If WRITEMODE_MASKED is set, only foreground pixels of the font are used for write operations; the screen background is not erased.
FONT_COMPRESSED
FONT_EXPANDED (default)
If FONT_COMPRESSED is set, text writes will use the compressed bit-per-pixel font rather than the expanded font (which would be
slightly faster).

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.
