vga_setchipset(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	     vga_setchipset(3)

NAME
       vga_setchipset - force chipset

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_setchipset(int chipset);

DESCRIPTION
       Force   detection   of	a  chipset  (when  chipset  detection  fails).
       vga_setchipset(VGA) can be useful if the chipset specific stuff or  the
       SVGA detection stuff gives problems.

       However,	 at first the automatic detection should work well, and if not
       a specific chipset can be forced from /etc/vga/libvga.config.

       Because of that, void vga_setchipset(int chipset) should probably never
       be  used	 by  applications.  If	used nevertheless, it should be called
       directly before vga_init(3).

       As of now the following values are defined for chipset:

       UNDEFINED
	      This is the default and specifies autodetection.

       VGA    A plain VGA card, not that the SVGA must behave like an ordinary
	      SVGA  card  then	which  will probably mean it is in an ordinary
	      (25x80) textmode.

       ET4000 Tseng ET4000/ET4000W32(i/p) cards.

       CIRRUS Cirrus Logic GD542x/3x cards.

       TVGA8900
	      Trident  TVGA  8900C/9000	 (and  possibly	 also  8800CS/8900A/B)
	      cards.

       OAK    Oak Technologies OTI-037/67/77/87 cards.

       EGA    An ordinary EGA card. The notes about VGA apply.

       S3     An S3 base card.

       ET3000 Tseng ET3000 cards.

       MACH32 A card (from ATI or not) based on the ATI Mach32 chipset.

       GVGA6400
	      A Genoa(?) GVGA6400 card.

       ARK    ARK Logic ARK1000PV/2000PV cards.

       ATI    An ATI SVGA (VGA Wonder and friends) card. This does not (neces‐
	      sarily) include the newer cards (usually called Mach something).

       ALI    An ALI2301 based card.

       MACH64 A card using the ATI Mach64 chipset. Support is not complete.

       CHIPS  Chips and Technologies  chipsets	65525,	65535,	65546,	65548,
	      65550, and 65554 (usually in laptops).
