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 ordi-
     nary  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_setpage(3).
