# display-svgalib(7ggi)

Display fullscreen using SVGAlib

## NAME

display-svgalib - Display fullscreen using SVGAlib

## SYNOPSIS

**display-svgalib** \[ **-physz=***sizex***,***sizeydpi* \]

## DESCRIPTION

Uses the SVGAlib library to display fullscreen on a VGA-compatible graphics card.

You may need to be root in order to have IO permissions to drive the VGA device.

## OPTIONS

- **-physz=***sizex***,***sizeydpi*

  This option will provide a physical screen size for applications which wish to remain resolution independent.  *sizex*,*sizey* are the x,y size of the screen in millimeters, unless the optional *dpi* string is affixed, in which case, they represent resolution in dots-per-inch.

## FEATURES

DirectBuffer is available for the 320x200x8 mode. For other modes, support is only available if SVGAlib supports linear addressing.
