This support is used by the X server on some architectures. .Pp The following .Xr ioctl 2 operations can be performed on .Pa /dev/agp* , and are defined in .Aq Pa sys/agpio.h : .Bl -tag -width indent .It Dv AGPIOC_INFO Returns information about the AGP subsystem. The result is a pointer to the following structure: .Bd -literal typedef struct _agp_info { agp_version version; /* version of driver (unused) */ u_int32_t bridge_id; /* bridge vendor/device */ u_int32_t agp_mode; /* mode info of bridge */ off_t aper_base; /* base of aperture */ size_t aper_size; /* size of aperture */ size_t pg_total; /* max pages (swap + system) */ size_t pg_system; /* max pages (system) */ size_t pg_used; /* current pages used */ } agp_info; .Ed .It Dv AGPIOC_ACQUIRE Acquire control of the AGP chipset for use by this client. Returns .Er EBUSY if the AGP chipset is already acquired by another client. .It Dv AGPIOC_RELEASE Release control of the AGP chipset. This does not unbind or free any allocated memory, which is the responsibility of the client to handle if necessary. .It Dv AGPIOC_SETUP Enable the AGP hardware with the relevant mode. This .Xr ioctl 2 takes the following structure: .Bd -literal typedef struct _agp_setup { u_int32_t agp_mode; /* mode info of bridge */ } agp_setup; .Ed .Pp The mode bits are defined in .Aq Pa sys/agpio.h . .It Dv AGPIOC_ALLOCATE Allocate physical memory suitable for mapping into the AGP aperture. This .Xr ioctl 2 takes the following structure: .Bd -literal typedef struct _agp_allocate { int key; /* tag of allocation */ size_t pg_count; /* number of pages */ u_int32_t type; /* 0 == normal, other devspec */ u_int32_t physical; /* device specific (some devices * need a phys address of the * actual page behind the gatt * table) */ } agp_allocate; .Ed .Pp It returns a handle to the allocated memory. .It Dv AGPIOC_DEALLOCATE Free the previously allocated memory associated with the handle passed. .It Dv AGPIOC_BIND Bind the allocated memory at a given offset with the AGP aperture. Returns .Er EINVAL if the memory is already bound or the offset is not at an AGP page boundary. This .Xr ioctl 2 takes the following structure: .Bd -literal typedef struct _agp_bind { int key; /* tag of allocation */ off_t pg_start; /* starting page to populate */ } agp_bind; .Ed .Pp The tag of allocation is the handle returned by .Dv AGPIOC_ALLOCATE . .It Dv AGPIOC_UNBIND Unbind memory from the AGP aperture. Returns .Er EINVAL if the memory is not bound. This .Xr ioctl 2 takes the following structure: .Bd -literal typedef struct _agp_unbind { int key; /* tag of allocation */ u_int32_t priority; /* priority for paging out */ } agp_unbind; .Ed .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/dev/agpgartXXX" -compact .It Pa /dev/agp? AGP GART device special files. .It Pa /dev/agpgart AGP GART device special file. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ioctl 2 , .Xr vga 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Fx 4.1 . It was adopted in .Nx 1.6 . The driver was then ported in parts to .Ox , and fully integrated in .Ox 4.3 .
