NAME

       gl_setcontextvgavirtual - set the context to a virtual mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgagl.h>

       int gl_setcontextvgavirtual(int mode);

DESCRIPTION

       Allocate  a virtual screen in system memory identical to the graphics mode (as defined in vga_setmode(3)), and make that the current graph-
       ics context.

       The function returns 0 for success and non-zero if the mode is not supported by the hardware.

       The only thing you can do with a planar (mode X-like) 256 color mode is aligned gl_putbox, and use it as a target for gl_copyscreen.
