NAME

6       speedtest - tests the speed of memory access under svgalib

SYNOPSIS

9       speedtest

DESCRIPTION

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.
16
17       The  demo gives a list of modes supported and prompts your for an inte‐
18       ger indentifying the mode to test.
19
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.
