Int 10 Fn 12 - Video - Alternate Function Select (ps, Vga) - Video Refre [V]
AH = 12h
BL = 36h
AL = new state
00h enable refresh
01h disable refresh
Return: AL = 12h if function supported
Desc: specify whether the contents of video memory should be displayed on
the screen; disabling refresh effectively blanks the screen
Note: when display refresh is disabled, the entire screen displays the color
specified by the DAC color register 00h; thus to actually blank the
screen, the application must first ensure that that register has been
set to black
BUG: GEM/VIEWMAX ET3000 and ET4000 drivers dated 6/23/88 do not correctly
reenable refresh after the screen has been blanked due to inactivity,
resulting in a total loss of video synchronization
