How can I detect the capabilities of a FrameBuffer driver and video board ? I have an application which generates at runtime the required modelines. For this pourpuse I need to know exactly which capabilities are available in the underline FrameBuffer software/hardware. For example, I have a GeForge 2 board without hardware INTERLACE support. But I haven't found a way to detect this misfeature from user level using the FrameBuffer API. The same apply for DOUBLESCAN modes, at present the Nvidia driver does not support them, but the driver is not reporting this misfeature in any way. Essentially I need a API call to probe the capabilities of the active Frame Buffer hardware/driver. -- Andrea Mazzoleni 935A 2D3C 5C70 BCD6 CB0C ED89 7C19 4321 6340 3F6D ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
