6.5.5.4 Read Modes
There are two read modes provided to assist the CPU with
graphics operations in planar modes. Read mode 0 simply
returns the frame buffer data. Read mode 1 allows the CPU
to do a single color compare across eight pixels. Figure 6-
18 shows the data flow for read modes. Figure 6-19 on
page 292 shows how the color compare logic in Figure 6-
18 works.
