- - SvgaTest.Doc for Mono.exe Program, Version 3.03 - -
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SVGAT303.ZIP Contents:
- MONO.EXE Main program
- SVGATEST.DOC This file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware needed:
- A PC XT-AT or compatible, PS/2 with at least a VGA CARD.
- 256K Ram or more.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
The program has (Microsoft) mouse support and is meant to test Vga, SuperVga
and IBM8514 /a modes and colors. It draws a screen close to the PHILIPS TV-Test
used by most TV Broadcast. It can be used to verify the aspect ratio of the
video monitor you use, or to trim its controls before starting a session.
Short description:
It has command line interpreter, and two string of characters may be specified,
to be shown on the test, with a $ starting each string (Eg. MONO $TV $AT-486DX)
will show the message TV AT-486DX on the screen.
It is important to have a VGA video card, since the start menu is 640x480x16 as
resolution. At start, the program tests the hardware to detect extended SVGA
modes available, while the screen is cleared. Then a menu is prompted. If a
certain video mode is unavailable to your video bios, the related Button is
not active on the menu.
Modes under test are:
Vga and SuperVga
640x480 16 colors 640x480 256 colors 512K
800x600 16 colors 256K 800x600 256 colors 512K
1024x768 16 colors 512K 1024x768 256 colors 1024K
IBM 8514 /AI
640x480 16 colors 640x480 256 colors
1024x768 16 colors 1024x768 256 colors 768K
