mach32info(1)		      Svgalib User Manual		 mach32info(1)

NAME
       mach32info - read out configuration information of a Mach32

SYNOPSIS
       mach32info {info|force}

DESCRIPTION
       mach32info  prints  out almost all the info about your mach32 card from
       configuration registers and Mach32 EEPROM. It also measures the	Mach32
       clocks.	A  completely  idle system is required when these measurements
       are being performed. During these measurements, the video signals  will
       be screwed up for about 3-4 seconds.

       If  your	 monitor  does	not  switch off when getting a video signal it
       can't stand (fixed freq. monitors) better switch it off before starting
       mach32info.  Your  computer will beep when it is finished probing.  You
       can redirect the 'stdout' of mach32info to some file  for  viewing  the
       results easier or mailing them.

       Do not redirect 'stderr' as you won't hear the beep.

       This  tool  is  part  of	 svgalib. Although it's output maybe useful to
       debug Xfree86 Mach32 Servers, I am NOT related to Xfree86!   Please  do
       not  send  me  (Michael	Weller)	 any  Xfree86  bug  reports!  Thanx in
       advance.

       Note that this tool comes without any warranty!	Use  it	 at  your  own
       risk!

       Warning,	 this tool does not check for VC changes etc.. Just let it run
       in its own virtual console as root and don't try to fool it.   Actually
       this  is	 due  to  it not using svgalib at all but simply accessing the
       Mach32.

       Please report any problems with running mach32info or with  configuring
       the  svgalib(7)'s Mach32 driver to Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-
       essen.de>.  Include the	results	 from  running	this  test  with  your
       report.

OPTIONS
       info   print out the configuration information. Without info mach32info
	      prints a usage message (looking almost like this manpage ;-)).

       force  The force option disables the sanity check that tries to	detect
	      the presence of the mach32 prior to printing the information.

	      Do  not  use this option unless you are really, really sure that
	      you have a Mach32 compatible vga card installed.

       This utility is part of svgalib and can be found in the mach32/	subdi‐
       rectory	of  the	 original  svgalib  distribution.  However,  it is not
       installed by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if  your
       svgalib was install by a linux distribution.

       In  case	 of  any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from
       the net. You don't need to install it. Just make in the mach32/	subdi‐
       recty.  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.
