Table 6-55 illustrates the various frame buffer addressing schemes. In the table, MAx represents the frame buffer memory
address signals, Ax represents the CRTC address counter signals, RSx represents row scan counter output bits. The
binary value in the column headings is a concatenation of the DWORD Mode and Byte Mode bits. (i.e., {DWORD Mode,
ByteMode} in verilog.)
1 SL_RSCBT Select Row Scan Bit. This bit determines which CRTC signal appears on the MA14
address bit sent to the frame buffer memory. If this bit is a 0, bit 1 of the Row Scan
counter appears on MA14. If this bit is a 1, then CRTC address counter bit 14, 13, or 12
appears on MA14. See Table 6-55 on page 371 for more information.
0 SL_A13 Select A13. This bit determines which CRTC signal appears on the MA13 address bit
sent to the frame buffer memory. If this bit is a 0, bit 0 of the Row Scan counter appears
on MA13. If this bit is a 1, then CRTC address counter bit 13, 12, or 11 appears on MA13.
See Table 6-55 on page 371 for more information.
