vga_setwritepage(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	   vga_setwritepage(3)

NAME
       vga_setwritepage - set the 64K SVGA page number

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_setwritepage(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_setwritepage() selects the page-th 64K
       memory chunk to be visible for writes at position vga_getgraphmem(3).

       vga_setreadpage(3) allows a different 64K memory chunk to  be  modified
       by  reads  from	this  memory window. This is a very useful feature for
       screen to screen pixmap copies. However, not all cards support this  in
       all  graphics  modes.  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_setread‐
       page(3) but may not be used in conjunction with vga_setpage(3).

AUTHOR
       This  manual  page  was	edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-
       essen.de>. The exact source of the referenced function as  well	as  of
       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.
