- Short: Energy-saving blankermodule for GBlanker 3.6.
- Type: util/blank
- Author: k125374@cs.tut.fi (Mika Kortelainen)
- Uploader: k125374@cs.tut.fi (Mika Kortelainen)
- Requires: OS 3.x, CyberGraphX, Garshneblanker V3.6
- Version: 1.1
-
- 'Vesa' is--just as the name implies--a blanker to enable power-save mode
- on modern monitors. It uses CyberGraphX's call CVideoCtrlTags() so you
- need CGfx installed to get anywhere (and apparently a graphics card).
- And of course Garshneblanker itself.
-
- One change since version 1.0: time unit is now minute instead of
- seconds. So, remember to update your preferences settings if
- you don't want to wait 60 times longer ;-)
-
-
- To install it copy files Vesa, Vesa.ifc, and Vesa.txt to the blanker
- directory and restart GBlanker to see your new blanker (if the blanker
- list isn't updated automatically). The blanker is compiled using
- normal options, so it should work on every Amiga (but I cannot test
- it on other configurations). Therefore the source is included.
- Please note that I have used SAS/C to compile it, I don't know how
- easily this actually compiles using other compilers.
-
-
- You can control times from Prefs-window, using three sliders:
- - how long the blanking is just a black screen (i.e. no power-saving)
- - how long in standby-mode
- - how long in suspend-mode
-
- When the suspend mode ends, monitor is turned off (and it probably
- indicates that somehow, e.g. changing some LED's colour or state).
-
- Also note that the times are added, i.e. with default values (1 min,
- 1 min, and 1 min) the normal blanking lasts one minute, after that the
- following minute will be in standby-mode and the next in suspend-mode.
- And when suspend-mode ends, you'll enter into off-mode (depending on the
- monitor, some of these modes may actually be the same).
