mousetest(6)		      Svgalib User Manual		  mousetest(6)

NAME
       mousetest - tests the svgalib mouse driver

SYNOPSIS
       mousetest

DESCRIPTION
       A  simple  program  to  test  mouse functionality.  This	uses basic VGA
       functionality (or an svga mode you specify, you	should	stick  to  256
       color modes).

       The  proper  setup  mouse  should move the cursor (drawing spots	in the
       current color). Left button changes color, right	button	(or  <Ctrl>-C)
       aborts.

       You  can	set a videomode	to use by setting the environment variable SV-
       GALIB_DEFAULT_MODE to a number (see vgatest for a  list)	 or  a	string
       like  G0x1x2  where you replace 0 with desired x	resolution, 1 with the
       desired y rez, and 2 with the desired number of	colors	(2,  16,  256,
       32K,  64K,  16M,	 16M4).	Again, only certain choices are	available, see
       vgatest for a list.

       In case nothing is selected, G320x200x256 is choosen.

       This demo is part of svgalib and	can be found in	the  demos/  subdirec-
       tory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed
       in  the	system by default, s.t.	it is unclear where you	can find it if
       your svgalib was	installed by some linux	distribution. Even then,  when
       you  have  the demo on your system, you probably	won't have the sources
       s.t. it is only of limited use for you.

       In case of any such problem, simply get an  svgalib  distribution  from
       the  net.  You  even  don't need	to install it. Just make in the	demos/
       subdirecty. As of this writing,	svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz  is  the	latest
       version	 and   can   be	 retrieved  by	ftp  from  sunsite.unc.edu  at
       /pub/Linux/libs/graphics	and tsx-11.mit.edu at  /pub/linux/sources/libs
       which will most probably	be mirrored by a site close to you.

AUTHOR
       This  manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-es-
       sen.de>.	The exact source of the	referenced demo	 as  well  as  of  the
       original	documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least	to some	extent are due to Harm
       Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

       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.
