\struct display_timing
\brief Provides timing information about a display mode
supported by a graphics card.
This provides information about the display resolution as well as the
video timings, allowing to compute the refresh rate in a precise way.
The timings are specified in term of horizontal and vertical pixels.
The "display" area corresponds to what's actually visible. But there is
some extra delay between two consecutive lines or two consecutive frames,
which is taked into account by the "total" values. In that area, there is
also the display sycnhronization signals, which start and end at specific
pixel numbers as well.
*/
/*!
\var uint32 display_timing::pixel_clock
Pixel clock in kHz.
The pixel clock is the frequency at which the display hardware moves from
one pixel to the next.

\var uint16 display_timing::h_display
Horizontal display width in pixels.

Horizontal sync start in pixels.

*/
/*!
\var uint display_timing::h_sync_end
Horizontal sync end in pixels.

\var uint16 display_timing::h_total
Horizontal total in pixels.

*/
/*!
\var uint16 display:timing::v_sync_start
Vertical sync start line.

*/
/*!
\var uint16 display_timing::v_sync_end
Vertical sync end line.

*/
/*!
\var uint16 display_timing::v_total
Total number of vertical lines.

*/
/*!
\var display_mode_flags B_DPMS
Specifies that the Display Power Management System is supported. The screen
can be shut down when the computer is idle to save power.
\since beOS R5
*/
/*!
\var display_mode_flags B_IO_FB_NA
Indicates that the video framebuffer is not directly mapped into memory.
The driver will handle sending the data to the video card, and applications
should not try to write directly to the buffer.
This is used only in legacy modes and hardware where a linear framebuffer
isn't available.
\since BeOS R5
*/
/*!
\struct display_mode
\brief Provides information about a display mode supported
by a graphics card.
The display resolution may be set larger than the actual display resolution.
In which case, not all pixels are visible at the same time, and scrolling
can be used to move around the larger virtual space. This is indicated
by the B_SCROLL flag.
When the virtual and physical resolutions match, B_SCROLL is not set, and
both display_start settings must be set to 0.
*/
/*!
\var display_timing display_mode::timing
The display timing of this mode.
\since BeOS R5
*/
/*!
\var uint32 display_mode::space
Color space to use (usually B_CMAP8, B_RGB16, or B_RGB32, but other modes
are possible depending on the hardware)
\since BeOS R5
*/
/*!
\var uint16 display_mode::virtual_width
Width of this mode in pixels.
\since BeOS R5
*/
/*!
\var uint16 display_mode::virtual_height
Height of this mode in pixels.
\since BeOS R5
*/
/*!
\var uint16 display_mode::h_display_start
The left position to start displaying from, used for scrolling
in the virtual space.
\since BeOS R5
*/
/*!
\var uint16 display_mode::v_display_start
The top position to start displaying from, used for scrolling in the virtual
space.
\since BeOS R5
*/
/*!
\var uint32 display_mode::flags
\brief The flags of this mode.
Currently no public flags are defined at this level.
Some drivers use this for dual head related options.
Reserved for future use.
