File: RequestVideo.h |
Description:RequestVideo demonstrates the usage of the Display Manager |
introduced with the PowerMacs and integrated into the system |
under System 7.5. With the RequestVideo sample code library, |
developers will be able to explore the Display Manager API by |
changing bit depth and screen resolution on multisync displays |
on built-in, NuBus, and PCI based video. Display Manager 1.0 |
is built into the Systems included with the first PowerMacs up |
through System 7.5. Display Manager 2.0 is included with the |
release of the new PCI based PowerMacs, and will be included |
in post 7.5 System Software releases. |
It is a good idea to reset the screen(s) to the original setting |
before exit since the call to RVSetVideoAsScreenPrefs() may not |
do the right thing under Display Manager 1.0 with certain video |
drivers. |

Change History (most recent first): |
6/24/99 Updated for Metrowerks Codewarror Pro 2.1(KG) |
5/31/95 Added RVGetCurrentVideoSetting and RVConfirmVideoRequest routines |
to make it easy to revert back to where you came from and to give |
the user a chance to confirm the new setting if the new mode was |
valid (ie: the card supports it) but not safe (the monitor may not). |
(EWA) |
5/24/95 Give the kAllValidModesBit requestFlags option for safe only or all |
valid resolution timings.(EWA) |
