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 func-
     tionality (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/ 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.

AUTHOR
     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
     Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

     Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the orig-
     inal author and will happily accept any additions or  corrections	to  this
     first version of the svgalib manual.
