vga_setpage(3)

vga_setpage3

Set the 64k svga page number

Usage

#include <vga.h>

void vga_setpage(int page);

Overview

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_setpage() selects the page-th 64K memory chunk to be visible at position vga_getgraphmem(3).

The fun(6) and vgatest(6) show the basic use of this function.

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.
