mousetest(6)		      Svgalib User Manual		  mousetest(6)

NAME
       mousetest - tests the svgalib mouse driver

SYNOPSIS
       mousetest

DESCRIPTION
       A  simple  program  to  test  mouse functionality.  This uses basic VGA
       functionality (or an svga mode you specify, you	should	stick  to  256
       color modes).

       The  proper  setup  mouse  should move the cursor (drawing spots in the
       current color). Left button changes color, right button	(or  <Ctrl>-C)
       aborts.

       You  can	 set  a	 videomode  to use by setting the environment variable
       SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE to a number (see vgatest for a list) or  a	string
       like  G0x1x2  where you replace 0 with desired x resolution, 1 with the
       desired y rez, and 2 with the desired number of	colors	(2,  16,  256,
       32K,  64K,  16M,	 16M4). Again, only certain choices are available, see
       vgatest for a list.

       In case nothing is selected, G320x200x256 is choosen.

       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-
       essen.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.
