13 A simple program to test mouse functionality. This uses basic VGA
14 functionality (or an svga mode you specify, you should stick to 256
15 color modes).
16 The proper setup mouse should move the cursor (drawing spots in the
18 current color). Left button changes color, right button (or <Ctrl>-C)
19 aborts.
20 You can set a videomode to use by setting the environment variable
22 SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE to a number (see vgatest for a list) or a string
23 like G0x1x2 where you replace 0 with desired x resolution, 1 with the
24 desired y rez, and 2 with the desired number of colors (2, 16, 256,
25 32K, 64K, 16M, 16M4). Again, only certain choices are available, see
26 vgatest for a list.
27 In case nothing is selected, G320x200x256 is choosen.
29 This demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the demos/ subdirec‐
31 tory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed
32 in the system by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if
33 your svgalib was installed by some linux distribution. Even then, when
34 you have the demo on your system, you probably won't have the sources
35 s.t. it is only of limited use for you.
36 In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from
38 the net. You even don't need to install it. Just make in the demos/
39 subdirecty. As of this writing, svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest
40 version and can be retrieved by ftp from sunsite.unc.edu at
41 /pub/Linux/libs/graphics and tsx-11.mit.edu at /pub/linux/sources/libs
42 which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.

55 original documentation is unknown.
56 It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm

59 Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the
61 original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to
62 this first version of the svgalib manual.
