MCS_getTimingReport
Reads the current horizontal and vertical frequency from the monitor
Declaration
ibool NAPI MCS_getTimingReport(
uchar *flags,
ushort *hFreq,
ushort *vFreq)
Prototype In
snap/ddc.h
Parameters
flags |
Place to store the mode flags |
hFreq |
Place to store the horizontal frequency (kHz * 100) |
vFreq |
Place to store the vertical freqency (Hz * 100) |
Return Value
True if the function succeeded, false if it failed.
Description
This function reads the horizontal and vertical frequencies for the current display mode from the monitor. The horizontal frequency is reported in units of kHz * 100 (ie: a value of 3150 is 31.5 Khz). The vertical frequency is reported in units of Hz * 100 (ie: a a value of 7500 is 75 Hz).
This function also reads the sync polarities and returns them in the flags parameter. The values returned in the flags parameter are defined by the MCS_polarityFlagsType enumeration.
Note: It is highly recommended that all monitor vendors implement this DDC/CI function, since this function contains useful feedback information to the user and graphics device drivers.
