.TH mach32info 1 "2 Aug 1997" "Svgalib (>= 1.2.11)" "Svgalib User Manual"
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
mach32info \- read out configuration information of a Mach32
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B mach32info {info|force}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B 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
|
||
|
|
.B 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
|
||
|
|
.B NOT
|
||
|
|
related to Xfree86!
|
||
|
|
.B Please do not send me (Michael Weller) any Xfree86 bug reports!
|
||
|
|
Thanx in advance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that this tool comes
|
||
|
|
.B without any warranty!
|
||
|
|
Use it at your
|
||
|
|
.B own
|
||
|
|
risk!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.BR 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
|
||
|
|
.B mach32info
|
||
|
|
or with configuring the
|
||
|
|
.BR svgalib (7)'s
|
||
|
|
Mach32 driver to Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>.
|
||
|
|
Include the results from running this test with your report.

.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B info
|
||
|
|
print out the configuration information. Without
|
||
|
|
.B info
|
||
|
|
.B mach32info
|
||
|
|
prints a usage message (looking almost like this manpage ;-)).
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B force
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B 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
|
||
|
|
.I mach32/
|
||
|
|
subdirectory 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
|
||
|
|
.B make
|
||
|
|
in the
|
||
|
|
.I mach32/
|
||
|
|
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.
