Video Feedback 1, 0. These are diagnostic video bits that are selected by the Color Plane Enable

 

 

 

Register. These bits that are programmably connected to 2 of the 8 color bits sent to the palette. Bits 4

 

 

 

and 5 of the Color Plane Enable Register (AR12) selects which two of the 8 possible color bits become

 

 

 

connected to these 2 bits of this register. The current software normally does not use these 2 bits. They

 

 

 

exist for EGA compatibility.

0 = VSYNC inactive (Indicates that a vertical retrace interval is not taking place).

 

 

 

 

 

1 = VSYNC active (Indicates that a vertical retrace interval is taking place).

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bits 4 and 5 of the Vertical Retrace End Register (CR11) can program this bit to generate an interrupt at

 

 

 

the start of the vertical retrace interval. This ability to generate interrupts at the start of the vertical retrace

 

 

 

interval is a feature that is largely unused by current software.

0 = DE inactive. Active display area data is being drawn on the display. Neither a horizontal retrace

 

 

 

 

interval or a vertical retrace interval is currently taking place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 = DE active. Either a horizontal retrace interval or a vertical retrace interval is currently taking place.
