-A common type of query is the occlusion query which counts the number of

+The most common type of query is the occlusion query,
+``PIPE_QUERY_OCCLUSION_COUNTER``, which counts the number of fragments which
+are written to the framebuffer without being culled by

+Another type of query, ``PIPE_QUERY_TIME_ELAPSED``, returns the amount of

+Gallium does not guarantee the availability of any query types; one must
+always check the capabilities of the :ref:`Screen` first.
