They use the ! \fBfbcmap\fR structure. ! .sp ! .LP Also, some framebuffers with multiple colormaps will either encode the colormap ! identifier in the high-order bits of the "index" field in the fbcmap structure, ! or use the \fBFBIOPUTCMAPI\fR and \fBFBIOGETCMAPI\fR \fBioctl()\fR requests. ! .sp ! .LP ! \fBFBIOVERTICAL\fR is used to wait for the start of the next vertical retrace period. ! .sp ! .LP ! \fBFBIOVRTOFFSET\fR Returns the offset to a read-only \fIvertical retrace ! page\fR for those framebuffers that support it.

The first word of the vertical ! retrace page (type unsigned int) is a counter that is incremented every time ! there is a vertical retrace.
