[Linux-fbdev-devel] fbtest

[Geert U. <ge...@li...>]

	Hi,

I just checked in a preliminary version of fbtest.

The goal of fbtest is to have some simple tests that can be run to verify the
correctness of a frame buffer device. Performance is not the most important
property, correctness is.

The program is divided in three parts:

  - drawops: frame buffer specific drawing operations, e.g. cfb8, planar, ...

  - visops: visual operations. You can draw using different visuals
    (monochrome, pseudocolor, truecolor, ...). Not all visuals are supported on
    all hardware

  - tests: so far I have 2 simple monochrome tests. They work fine on my
    machine, using atyfb, in depths 8 (pseudocolor), 16, 24 and 32
    (directcolor).

If I find more time, I'll tell you more about the internals.

Feel free to give it a try. You can check it out from
cvs.linux-fbdev.sourceforge.net, module name `fbtest'. Especially search for
`FIXME' and `not yet implemented' in the sources :-)

Enjoy!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
