+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.B "#include <vga.h>"
+
+.BI "int vga_getdefaultmode(void);"
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Returns the default graphics mode number from the
+.B SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE
+environment variable. If undefined, the from the
+.B default_mode 
+configuration file
+option. If that is not available as well, returns 10 (G640x480x256). The
+mode value in the environment variable or configuration file can either be a mode number or a mode name. See
+.BR vga_setmode (3)
+for a list of predefined return values and their meaning. The mode names which can be used
+in the environment are those used by
+.BR vga_getmodename (3)
+and
+.BR vga_getmodenumber (3).
+
+Whenever your application has no special need for a given mode you should always try to
+honour this setting for consistency among svgalib applications.
