58.El
59.Pp
60The most common application of
61.Nm
62is for running
63.Xr X 7 Pq Pa ports/x11/xorg-docs
64on the Intel i81x controllers.
65.Sh IOCTLS
66The following
67.Xr ioctl 2
68operations can be performed on
69.Pa /dev/agpgart ,
70which are defined in
71.In sys/agpio.h :
72.Bl -tag -width indent
73.It Dv AGPIOC_INFO
74Returns state of the
75.Nm
76system.
77The result is a pointer to the following structure:
78.Bd -literal
79typedef struct _agp_info {
80	agp_version version;  /* version of the driver        */
81	uint32_t bridge_id;   /* bridge vendor/device         */
82	uint32_t agp_mode;    /* mode info of bridge          */
83	off_t aper_base;      /* base of aperture             */
84	size_t aper_size;     /* size of aperture             */
85	size_t pg_total;      /* max pages (swap + system)    */
86	size_t pg_system;     /* max pages (system)           */
87	size_t pg_used;       /* current pages used           */
88} agp_info;
89.Ed
90.It Dv AGPIOC_ACQUIRE
91Acquire control of the AGP chipset for use by this client.
92Returns
93.Er EBUSY
94if the AGP chipset is already acquired by another client.
95.It Dv AGPIOC_RELEASE
96Release control of the AGP chipset.
97This does not unbind or free any allocated memory, which is the
98responsibility of the client to handle if necessary.
99.It Dv AGPIOC_SETUP
100Enable the AGP hardware with the relevant mode.
101This
102.Xr ioctl 2
103takes the following structure:
104.Bd -literal
105typedef struct _agp_setup {
106	uint32_t agp_mode;    /* mode info of bridge */
107} agp_setup;
108.Ed
109.Pp
110The mode bits are defined in
111.In sys/agpio.h .
112.It Dv AGPIOC_ALLOCATE
113Allocate physical memory suitable for mapping into the AGP aperture.
114This
115.Xr ioctl 2
116takes the following structure:
117.Bd -literal
118typedef struct _agp_allocate {
119	int key;              /* tag of allocation            */
120	size_t pg_count;      /* number of pages              */
121	uint32_t type;        /* 0 == normal, other devspec   */
122	uint32_t physical;    /* device specific (some devices
123			       * need a phys address of the
124			       * actual page behind the gatt
125			       * table)                       */
126} agp_allocate;
127.Ed
128.Pp
129Returns a handle to the allocated memory.
130.It Dv AGPIOC_DEALLOCATE
131Free the previously allocated memory associated with the handle passed.
132.It Dv AGPIOC_BIND
133Bind the allocated memory at given offset with the AGP aperture.
134Returns
135.Er EINVAL
136if the memory is already bound or the offset is not at AGP page boundary.
137This
138.Xr ioctl 2
139takes the following structure:
140.Bd -literal
141typedef struct _agp_bind {
142	int key;         /* tag of allocation            */
143	off_t pg_start;  /* starting page to populate    */
144} agp_bind;
145.Ed
146.Pp
147The tag of allocation is the handle returned by
148.Dv AGPIOC_ALLOCATE .
149.It Dv AGPIOC_UNBIND
150Unbind memory from the AGP aperture.
151Returns
152.Er EINVAL
153if the memory is not bound.
154This
155.Xr ioctl 2
156takes the following structure:
157.Bd -literal
158typedef struct _agp_unbind {
159	int key;                /* tag of allocation         */
160	uint32_t priority;      /* priority for paging out   */
161} agp_unbind;
