Be careful about painting yourself into a corner. OGD1 logic testing can begin with a limited set of VGA modes, but the final OGA1 design in TRV10/OGC1 will need to come to grips with providing a capability to power-up running any arbitrary video mode -- because some monitors won't work any other way. And remember, part of the TRV10 application space is embedded systems. Cthulhu only knows what display systems it might have to drive. Don't assume VESA mode compatibility.
Excellent point. So not only do we need a compact piece of C code to generate video programs, but we need to make sure that that and the hardware are general enough to handle just about any practical mode. One function should take a complete set of timing numbers and generate a program; another function can be written to infer blanking time from resolution using a VESA algorithm. This should all be small enough to go into a BIOS PROM. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
