CRT VSync Polarity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0

= Positive Polarity (default).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

= Negative Polarity.

CRT HSync Polarity.

Page Select. In Odd/Even Memory Map Mode 1 (GR6), this bit selects the upper or lower 64 KB page in

 

 

 

 

display memory for processor access:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0

= Upper page (default)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

= Lower page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Selects between two 64 KB pages of frame buffer memory during standard VGA odd/even modes

 

 

 

 

(modes 0h through 5h). Bit 1 of register GR06 can also program this bit in other modes. Note that this bit

 

 

 

 

is always set to 1 by the driver software.

Clock Select. These bits usually select the dot clock source for the CRT interface. The bits select the dot

 

 

 

 

clock in standard VGA modes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

00 = CLK0, 25 MHz (for standard VGA modes with 640 pixel horizontal resolution) (default)

 

 

 

 

 

 

01 = CLK1, 28 MHz. (for standard VGA modes with 720 pixel horizontal resolution)

 

 

 

 

 

 

1x = CLK2 (left “reserved” in standard VGA, used for all extended modes 6 MHz–135 MHz)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

 

A0000−BFFFFh Access Enable. VGA Compatibility bit enables access to local video memory (frame

 

 

 

 

buffer) at A0000−BFFFFh. When disabled, accesses to system memory are blocked in this region (by not

 

 

 

 

asserting DEVSEL#). This bit does not block processor access to the video linear frame buffer at other

 

 

 

 

addresses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0

= Prevent processor access to frame buffer (default).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

= Allow processor access to frame buffer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0

 

I/O Address Select. This bit selects 3Bxh or 3Dxh as the I/O address for the CRT Controller registers,

 

 

 

 

the Feature Control Register (FCR), and Input Status Register 1 (ST01). Presently ignored (whole range

 

 

 

 

is claimed), but will “ignore” 3Bx for color configuration or 3Dx for monochrome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0

= Select 3Bxh I/O address (MDA emulation) (default).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

= Select 3Dxh I/O address (CGA emulation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.In standard VGA modes, bits 7 and 6 indicate which of the three standard VGA vertical resolutions the standard VGA display should use. All extended modes, including those with a vertical resolution of 480 scan lines, use a setting of 0 for both of these bits. This setting was “reserved” in the VGA standard.
