vgatest(6)		       Svgalib User Manual		      vgatest(6)

NAME
     vgatest - makes basic tests on any svgalib graphics mode

SYNOPSIS
     vgatest

DESCRIPTION
     Mode  test  program. First the program gives a list of the supported modes,
     then you enter a number and get a testimage in that mode.

     The testimage consists of a sequence of crosses (in  different  colors,  if
     the mode support has different colors) in the top left corner.

     Below  you  see three color bars red, green, blue with increasing intensity
     from left to right. Depending on the capabilities of the mode they are more
     or less jumpy (or smooth for true color).

     In case of modes with 32K or more colors, six squares will appear on top of
     that, each showing some different smooth color shades

     It also shows some details from vga_getmodeinfo(3).

     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.
