Through a series of protocol, memory, acceleration, and colormap tests, tcxtest checks the functionality of the S24 Frame Buffer SBus card used on the SPARCstation5 and checks the FSV (fast SBus video) ASIC on the SPARCstation4 motherboard.
Disable all screen savers before testing any graphics device. Type xset s off at a UNIX prompt to disable the Solaris screen saver.
tcxtest has four distinct test groups:
AFX Protocol tests (in 8/16/32/64-bit mode)
WRC
Frame Buffer Memory tests (in 8/16/32/64-bit14 mode)
address
constant
random
Acceleration tests (both User and Raw modes)
blit
stip
Colormap and Cursor tests
cursor (does not apply to SPARCstation4)
colormap
FB Locking is the only test parameter options for this test. See the section about testing multiple frame buffers in the SunVTS 3.0 User's Guide for details.
Available only in the Functional test mode. Functional test is the default for tcxtest. tcxtest runs the appropriate subtests for the hardware platform being tested.

Table 41-2 tcxtest Command Line Syntax
Argument |
Explanation |
---|---|
dev=device_name |
Specifies the filename of the device to be tested, for example: dev=tcx0. |
lock=E(nable)/D(isable) |
Enables or disables the window system locking option. See the section about Testing Frame Buffers in SunVTS 3.0 User's Guide for details. Do not use when device is the window system display. |
X=bit_mode |
Specifies the data transfer size; supported values are: |
|
8 byte 16 short 32 long 64 double word |
T=test |
Specifies a particular test; to specify an individual test, replace test with: |
|
a =Address c =Constant r =Random b =Blit s =Stipple h =Cursor w =WRC Note: When you select either the Blit or Stipple test, both the User and Raw mode tests are run. |
S=[dfb8, dfb24, dfb32] |
Specifies which frame buffer memory space to use. -dfb8 Dumb frame buffer 8-bit space. Memory is accessed only by bytes. -dfb24 Dumb frame buffer 24-bit space. Memory is accessed only by 24-bit reads and writes. -dfb32 Dumb frame buffer 8-bit space. Memory is accessed by 8-bit reads and writes. |
64-bit tests are located in the sparcv9 subdirectory: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/testname. If a test is not present in this directory, then it may only be available as a 32-bit test. For more information refer to "32-Bit and 64-Bit Tests".
