vga_setreadpage(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	    vga_setreadpage(3)

NAME
       vga_setreadpage - set the 64K SVGA page number

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_setreadpage(int page);

DESCRIPTION
       Usually	SVGA  cards have more than the 64K memory which suffice for an
       ordinary VGA.  However, the memory window mapped at  vga_getgraphmem(3)
       is  only	 64K  bytes  large.  vga_setreadpage() selects the page-th 64K
       memory chunk to be visible for reads at position vga_getgraphmem(3).

       vga_setwritepage(3) allows a different 64K memory chunk to be  modified
       by  writes  to  this  memory  window. This is a very useful feature for
       screen to screen pixmap copies. However, not all cards support this  in
       all graphics mode. Check vga_modeinfo(3) for availability. Esp. as this
       feature can also not be used when in background mode.

       Of  course,  this  function  must   be	used   in   conjunction	  with
       vga_setwritepage(3)  but	 may  not be used in conjunction with vga_set‐
       page(3).

       This manual page was edited  by	Michael	 Weller	 <eowmob@exp-math.uni-

       the original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm
       Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

       Occasionally  this  might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the
       original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to
       this first version of the svgalib manual.
