Hardware Window

The hardware window provides the superimpose function for the VGA controller.

With this hardware window a pop-up screen can be displayed without affecting the operation of the application program. This hardware window is used in the keypad driver and various utility programs.

The user can adjust the offset value (refer to Chapter 6 “Keyboard Controller”) for the automatically adjusted contrast in the following ways.

Press the 8 key after the Fn key to increase the contrast offset one step.

￿Press the 9 key after the Fn key to decrease the contrast offset one step. Call the system library to increase/decrease the contrast offset.
