+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions provide an interface to the server extension
+\fIXFree86-VidModeExtension\fP
+which allows the video modes to be
+queried and adjusted dynamically and mode switching to be controlled.
+Applications that use these functions must be linked with
+.ZN -lXxf86vm
+.SS "MODELINE FUNCTIONS"
+The
+.ZN XF86VidModeGetModeLine
+function is used to query the settings for the currently selected
+video mode. The calling program should pass a pointer to a
+.ZN XF86VidModeModeLine
+structure that it has already allocated. The function fills in
+the fields of the structure.
+.PP
+If there are any server private values (currently only applicable to
+the S3 server) the function will allocate storage for them.
+Therefore, if the
+.ZN privsize
+field is non-zero, the calling program should call
+.ZN Xfree(private)
+to free the storage.
+.PP
+.ZN XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines
+returns the settings for all video modes.
+The calling program supplies the address of a pointer which will be
+set by the function to point to an array of
+.ZN XF86VidModeModeInfo
+structures. The memory occupied by the array is dynamically allocated
+by the
+.ZN XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines
+function and should be freed by the caller.
+The first element of the array corresponds to the current video mode.
+.PP
+The
+.ZN XF86VidModeModModeLine
+function can be used to change the settings of the current video mode
+provided the requested settings are valid (e.g. they don't exceed the
+capabilities of the monitor).
+.PP
+.ig
+To add a mode to the list of available modes, the
+.ZN XF86VidModeAddModeLine
+function can be used.
+Assuming the settings are valid, the video mode will be added after
+the existing mode which matches the timings specified by the
+.ZN aftermode
+parameter.
+To be considered a match, all of the fields of the given
+.ZN XF86VidModeModeInfo
+structure must match, except the
+.ZN privsize
+and
+.ZN private
+fields.
+If the
+.ZN aftermode
+parameter is zero, the mode will be added
+after the current mode.
+.PP
+..
+Modes can be deleted with the
+.ZN XF86VidModeDeleteModeLine
+function. The specified mode must match an existing mode.
+To be considered a match, all of the fields of the given
+.ZN XF86VidModeModeInfo
+structure must match, except the
+.ZN privsize
+and
+.ZN private
+fields.
+If the mode to be deleted is the current mode, a mode switch
+to the next mode will occur first. The last remaining mode can not
+be deleted.
+.PP
+The validity of a mode can be checked with the
+.ZN XF86VidModeValidateModeLine
+function.
+If the specified mode can be used by the server (i.e. meets all the
+constraints placed upon a mode by the combination of the server, card,
+and monitor) the function returns
+.ZN MODE_OK ,
+otherwise it returns a value indicating the reason why the mode is
+invalid (as defined in \fIxf86.h\fP)
+.SS "MODE SWITCH FUNCTIONS"
+When the function
+.ZN XF86VidModeSwitchMode
+is called, the server will change the video mode to next (or previous)
+video mode. The
+.ZN XF86VidModeSwitchToMode
+function can be used to switch directly to the specified mode.
+Matching is as specified in the description of the
+.ZN XF86VidModeAddModeLine
+function above.
+The
+.ZN XF86VidModeLockModeSwitch
+function can be used to allow or disallow mode switching whether
+the request to switch modes comes from a call to the
+.ZN XF86VidModeSwitchMode
+or
+.ZN XF86VidModeSwitchToMode
+functions or from one of the mode switch key sequences.
+.PP
+.RB Note:
+Because of the asynchronous nature of the X protocol, a call to
+.ZN XFlush
+is needed if the application wants to see the mode change immediately.
+To be informed of the execution status of the request, a
+custom error handler should be installed using
+.ZN XSetErrorHandler
+before calling the mode switching function.
+.SS "MONITOR FUNCTIONS"
+Information known to the server about the monitor is returned by the
+.ZN XF86VidModeGetMonitor
+function. The
+.ZN hsync
+and
+.ZN vsync
+fields each point to an array of
+.ZN XF86VidModeSyncRange
+structures. The arrays contain
+.ZN nhsync
+and
+.ZN nvsync
+elements, respectively.
+The
+.ZN hi
+and
+.ZN low
+values will be equal if a discreate value was given in the
+.ZN XF86Config
+file.
+.PP
+The
+.ZN vendor ,
+.ZN model ,
+.ZN hsync ,
+and
+.ZN vsync
+fields point to dynamically allocated storage that should be freed
+by the caller.
+.SS "VIEWPORT FUNCTIONS"
+The
+.ZN XF86VidModeGetViewPort
+and
+.ZN XF86VidModeSetViewPort
+functions can be used to, respectively, query and change the location
+of the upper left corner of the viewport into the virtual screen.
+.SS "OTHER FUNCTIONS"
+The
+.ZN XF86VidModeQueryVersion
+function can be used to determine the version of the extension
+built into the server.
+.PP
+The function
+.ZN XF86VidModeQueryExtension
+returns the lowest numbered error and event values
+assigned to the extension.
+.SH BUGS
+The
+XF86VidModeSetClientVersion,
+XF86VidModeGetDotClocks,
+XF86VidModeGetGamma,
+XF86VidModeSetGamma,
+XF86VidModeSetGammaRamp,
+XF86VidModeGetGammaRamp,
+XF86VidModeGetGammaRampSize,
+and
+XF86VidModeGetPermissions
+functions need to be documented. In the meantime, check the source
+code for information about how to use them.
