NAME

aux/vga − setup VGA card

SYNOPSIS

­aux/vga ­config

DESCRIPTION

­Vga configures VGA cards and the kernel for various display sizes and depths.  ­Config has the values of various standard VGA registers plus special values for some super-VGA configurations.  VGA searches for ­config in ­/usr/$home/lib/vga and /lib/vga.  The config file contains three integers defining the width, height, and depth, the various standard VGA registers as C hex constants, a chip type in double quotes, and zero or more registers.  White space, commas, and C-style comments are ignored. 

We currently support Tseng Labs T4000 and generic VGA.
