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-es-
       sen.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.
