Is there a way to blank the display of an 8514/A card for example, for a
screen saver, without changing the current image on the screen ?
I need some port/command etc. to switch of the display and later switch
it back on without having to redraw the screen.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Kai Uwe Rommel
