Use
This call is used to enumerate the list of registered GraphicsV drivers and to read basic details about them.
Notes
When calling GraphicsV manually, it is only safe to interact with drivers which are in state 2. This state corresponds to a driver which has called both OS_ScreenMode 64 and OS_ScreenMode 65.
To determine the current driver, pass -1 to OS_ScreenMode 11.
