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

17 The demo gives a list of modes supported and prompts your for an inte‐
18 ger indentifying the mode to test.

20 This demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the demos/ subdirec‐
21 tory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed
22 in the system by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if
23 your svgalib was installed by some linux distribution. Even then, when
24 you have the demo on your system, you probably won't have the sources
25 s.t. it is only of limited use for you.
26
27 In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from
28 the net. You even don't need to install it. Just make in the demos/
29 subdirecty. As of this writing, svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest
30 version and can be retrieved by ftp from sunsite.unc.edu at
31 /pub/Linux/libs/graphics and tsx-11.mit.edu at /pub/linux/sources/libs
32 which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
