6.6.16 VGA Block Configuration Registers
6.6.16.1 VGA Configuration (VGA_CONFIG)
This register controls palette write operations.
6.6.16.2 VGA Status (VGA_STATUS)
This register provides status information for the individual SMI events enabled in the VGA_CONFIG register (DC Memory
Offset 100h), as well as certain other status bits. Reading this register clears all active events.
DC Memory Offset 100h
Type R/W
Reset Value 00000000h

VGA_CONFIG Bit Descriptions
Bit Name Description
31:1 RSVD Reserved. Set to 0.
0 WPPAL Write Protect Palette. If set to 1, VGA palette write operations are NOT written to the
palette RAMs. Palette writes behave normally, except that the data is discarded.

Bit Name Description
31:30 RSVD Reserved.
29:24 BLINK_CNT Blink Counter Value. Unsynchronized, used as a simulation aid.
23:22 RSVD Reserved.
21:12 V_CNT Vertical Counter Value. Unsynchronized, used as a simulation aid.
11:6 RSVD Reserved.
5 VSYNC VSYNC. 1 If VSYNC is active (copy of bit 3 of ISR1).
4DISPEN Display Enable. 0 if both horizontal and vertical display enable are active (copy of bit 0
of ISR1).
3 CRTCIO_SMI CRTC Register SMI. If = 1, an SMI was generated due to an I/O read or write to an non-
implemented CRTC register.
