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 inte-
       ger indentifying	the mode to test.

       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.
