Simulation support:

This function is mandatory for display drivers supporting software motion video. For other drivers, it is simulated by a handling routine in the graphics engine.

Description

GreEscape DEVESC_DEACQUIREFB releases the internal Presentation Manager driver resources acquired by DEVESC_ACQUIREFB. The escape results in the release of the video adapter device for use by other threads.

The device drivers are informed that the process that reserved the adapter has completed its operation.

This function is used in conjunction with DEVESC_SWITCHBANK and DEVESC_ACQUIREFB. When used, the handling routine restores the state saved by DEVESC_ACQUIREFB and returns.

If DEVESC_ACQUIREFB had caused the mouse cursor to be hidden, this call will perform "unexclude" processing to restore the mouse cursor.
