speedtest(6)		       Svgalib User Manual		    speedtest(6)

NAME
     speedtest - tests the speed of memory access under svgalib

SYNOPSIS
     speedtest

DESCRIPTION
     Video  memory  speed tester. Selects the given mode and makes linear screen
     accesses. Prints the overall run time of the test	and  deduces  the  speed
     with which the CPU can transfer data to the cards memory.

     The  demo	gives  a list of modes supported and prompts your for an integer
     indentifying the mode to test.

     This demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the demos/ subdirectory of
     the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed in the sys-
     tem 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 lim-
     ited 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  mir-
     rored by a site close to you.

     This  manual  page  was  edited  by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-es-

     documentation is unknown.

     It is very likely that both are at least to some extent  are  due	to  Harm

     Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the orig-
