9.6.17.CR0FText Cursor Location Low Register

I/O (and Memory Offset) Address:

3B5h/3D5h (index=0Fh)

Default:

Undefined

Attributes:

Read/Write

This cursor is the text cursor that is part of the VGA standard, and should not be confused with the hardware cursor and popup (a.k.a., cursor and cursor 2), which are intended to be used in graphics modes. This text cursor exists only in text modes, and so this register is entirely ignored in graphics modes.

Bit

Description

 

 

7:0

Text Cursor Location Bits [7:0]. This field provides the 8 least significant bits of a 16-bit value that

 

specifies the address offset from the beginning of the frame buffer at which the text cursor is located.

 

Bits 7:0 of the Text Cursor Location High Register (CR0D) provide the 8 most significant bits.

 

 

9.6.18.CR10Vertical Sync Start Register

I/O (and Memory Offset) Address:

Default:

Bit

 

Description

 

 

 

 

7:0

Vertical Sync Start Bits [7:0]. This register provides the 8 least significant bits of either a 10-bit or

 

 

12-bit value that specifies the beginning of the vertical sync pulse relative to the beginning of the active

 

 

display area of a screen.

 

 

 

In standard VGA modes, where bit 0 of the I/O Control Register (CR80) is set to 0, this value is

 

 

described in 10 bits with bits [7,2] of the Overflow Register (CR07) supplying the 2 most significant bits.

 

 

In extended modes, where bit 0 of the I/O Control Register (CR80) is set to 1, this value is described in

 

 

12 bits with bits [3:0] of the Extended Vertical Sync Start Register (CR32) supplying the 4 most

 

 

significant bits.

 

 

 

This 10-bit or 12-bit value should equal the vertical sync start in terms of the number of scan lines from

 

 

the beginning of the active display area to the beginning of the vertical sync pulse. Since the active

 

 

display area always starts on the 0th scan line, this number should be equal to the number of the scan

 

 

line on which the vertical sync pulse begins.
