GA_setMinimumDriverVersion

Sets the minimum driver version supported

Declaration

void NAPI GA_setMinimumDriverVersion(
N_uint32 version,
N_int32 allowFallback,
N_int32 shared)

Prototype In

snap/graphics.h

Parameters

version | Minimum driver version to accept
allowFallback | Allow the fallback drivers to load
shared | True if the device driver should be loaded into shared memory

Description

This function can be used to exclude early device driver versions if they are known not to have the necessary feature support from being loaded. This function will stop the drivers from loading early in the driver load process, so as to avoid any problems that might crop up during loading and initialisation.

The allowFallback parameter is used to allow the loading of the VBE/Core and VGA fallback drivers. If this parameter is false, then the VBE/Core and VGA drivers will fail to load. If this parameter is not false then they will load as normal.

Note: The default minimum version is 0 and the default value for allowFallback is true.
