.SH NAME
|
||
|

keytest \- tests the svgalib raw keyboard functions
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B keytest
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
A program to test the low-level keyboard interface. This uses basic
|
||
|
|
VGA functionality (or an svga mode you specify). Works only in 256
|
||
|
|
color modes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cursor keys or keypad
|
||
|
|
.BR <1> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <2> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <3> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <4> ", "
|

|
|
.BR <5> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <6> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <7> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <8> ", and "
|
||
|
|
.BR <9>
|
||
|
|
move the cursor.
|
||
|
|
Keypad
|
||
|
|
.BR <0> " or " <Enter>
|
||
|
|
changes color.
|
||
|
|
.BR <Q> " or " <Ctrl>-C
|
||
|
|
quits. (autoquit after 60
|
||
|
|
seconds).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the svgalib diagonal
|
||
|
|
.BR <7> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <9> ", "
|
||
|
|
.BR <1> ", and "
|
||
|
|
.BR <3>
|
||
|
|
keypad keys
|
||
|
|
emulation is flawed in that it emulates the vertical/horizontal
|
||
|
|
keys. If one of these is pressed too, it's release confuses svgalib.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The top pixel line shows a blue pixel for each key which is reported
|
||
|
|
to be pressed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can set a videomode
|
||
|
|
to use by setting the environment variable
|
||
|
|
.B 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
|
||
|
|
.I demos/
|
||
|
|
subdirectory 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
|
||
|
|
.B make
|
||
|
|
in the
|
||
|
|
.I demos/
|
||
|
|
subdirecty. As of this writing,
|
||
|
|
.I svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
is the latest version and can be retrieved by ftp from
|
||
|
|
.IR "sunsite.unc.edu" " at " "/pub/Linux/libs/graphics"
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.IR "tsx-11.mit.edu" " at " "/pub/linux/sources/libs"
|
||
|
|
which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
