Enum vga::registers::WriteMode

#[repr(u8)]pub enum WriteMode {
    Mode0,
    Mode1,
    Mode2,
    Mode3,
}

Represents a write mode for vga hardware.

Variants

Mode0

Represents WriteMode 0.

During a CPU write to the frame buffer, the addressed byte in each of the 4 memory planes is written with the CPU write data after it has been rotated by the number of counts specified in the GraphicsControllerIndex::DataRotate register. If, however, the bit(s) in the GraphicsControllerIndex::EnableSetReset register corresponding to one or more of the memory planes is set to 1, then those memory planes will be written to with the data stored in the corresponding bits in the GraphicsControllerIndex::SetReset register.

Mode1

Represents WriteMode 1.

During a CPU write to the frame buffer, the addressed byte in each of the 4 memory planes is written to with the data stored in the memory read latches. (The memory read latches stores an unaltered copy of the data last read from any location in the frame buffer.)

Mode2

Represents WriteMode 2.

During a CPU write to the frame buffer, the least significant 4 data bits of the CPU write data is treated as the color value for the pixels in the addressed byte in all 4 memory planes. The 8 bits of the GraphicsControllerIndex::BitMask register are used to selectively enable or disable the ability to write to the corresponding bit in each of the 4 memory planes that correspond to a given pixel. A setting of 0 in a bit in the Bit Mask Register at a given bit position causes the bits in the corresponding bit positions in the addressed byte in all 4 memory planes to be written with value of their counterparts in the memory read latches. A setting of 1 in a Bit Mask Register at a given bit position causes the bits in the corresponding bit positions in the addressed byte in all 4 memory planes to be written with the 4 bits taken from the CPU write data to thereby cause the pixel corresponding to these bits to be set to the color value.

Mode3

Represents WriteMode 3.

During a CPU write to the frame buffer, the CPU write data is logically ANDed with the contents of the GraphicsControllerIndex::BitMask register. The result of this ANDing is treated as the bit mask used in writing the contents of the GraphicsControllerIndex::SetReset register are written to addressed byte in all 4 memory planes.
