  27 Dependencies
  28
  29     OpenGL 1.0 or later is required
  30     GLX_NV_vertex_array_range is required.
  31     This extensions is written against the OpenGL 1.4 Specification.
  32
  33 Overview
  34
  35     This extensions provides a way to convert pointers in an AGP memory
  36     region into byte offsets into the AGP aperture.
  37     Note, this extension depends on GLX_NV_vertex_array_range, for which
  38     no real specification exists.  See GL_NV_vertex_array_range for more
  39     information.

  61 Additions to Chapter 3 the GLX 1.4 Specification (Functions and Errors)
  62
  63     Add a new section, 3.6 as follows:
  64
  65     3.6 AGP Memory Access
  66
  67     On "PC" computers, AGP memory can be allocated with glXAllocateMemoryNV
  68     and freed with glXFreeMemoryNV.  Sometimes it's useful to know where a
  69     block of AGP memory is located with respect to the start of the AGP
  70     aperture.  The function
  71
  72         GLuint glXGetAGPOffsetMESA( const GLvoid *pointer )
  73
  74     Returns the offset of the given memory block from the start of AGP
  75     memory in basic machine units (i.e. bytes).  If pointer is invalid
  76     the value ~0 will be returned.
  77
  78 GLX Protocol
  79
  80     None.  This is a client side-only extension.
  81
  82 Errors
  83
  84     glXGetAGPOffsetMESA will return ~0 if the pointer does not point to
  85     an AGP memory region.

  91 Revision History

  93     20 September 2002 - Initial draft
  94     2 October 2002 - finished GLX chapter 3 additions
  95     27 July 2004 - use unsigned int instead of GLuint, void instead of GLvoid
