afbtest verifies the functionality of the Advanced Frame Buffer.
afbtest can detect and adapt to the various video modes of the advanced frame buffer (AFB). Instead of only running in one standard graphics mode, all tests can run in any mode. In stereo mode, all tests write into the right and left eyes unless you specify otherwise.
You can interrupt afbtest using Control-C. Turn off all other keyboard input if OPEN LOOK is running on the unit being tested.
Test accuracy is checked using a checksum algorithm. Possible locations of failing pixels are colored chartreuse to help visually identify their position.
Do not run any other application or screen saver program that uses the AFB accelerator port while running afbtest. This combination causes SunVTS to return incorrect errors.
Disable all screen savers before testing any graphics device. Type xset s off at a UNIX prompt to disable the Solaris screen saver.
DO NOT run Open Windows across multiple monitor while running afbtest, otherwise the test will return errors.
afbtest requires approximately 29 Mbytes of disk space in the /tmp directory to extract its working files. If this space is not available, the diagnostic will fail and report warning and error messages, indicating a lack of disk space.
By default, all afbtest options are enabled.
Due to the nature of graphic tests, reading data from, or writing data to the frame buffer during graphic tests will disturb user operation. For this reason, afbtest is only available in Functional mode.

Table 2-2 afbtest Command Line Syntax
Argument |
Explanation |
---|---|
dev=device_name |
device_name is the relative path name of the device being tested with respect to /dev/fbs; The default is afb0. |
S=subtest_number |
subtest_number is the test number of the subtest to be run. Select from the subtests below. You can run multiple subtests by adding the subtest numbers together. For example, n=0x3 runs both test 1 and test 2; n=0x180 runs both test 0x080 and test 0x0100. You do not need the leading zeros. n - 0x00001 3DRAM n - 0x00002 3DRAM Logic n - 0x00004 RAMDAC n - 0x00008 Micro code n - 0x00010 Rendering Pipeline n - 0x00020 FastFill/Vertical Scroll n - 0x00040 Pixel Processor n - 0x00080 AFB Dots n - 0x00100 AFB Lines n - 0x00200 AFB Triangles n - 0x00400 Lighting n - 0x00800 Texture Processor n - 0x02000 AFB Mix Test n - 0x04000 Picking n - 0x08000 Arbitration n - 0x10000 Stereon - ox40000 UART |
F=#_of_subtest_loops |
The number of times to repeat each subtest; the default is 1. |
B=#_of_test_loops |
The number of times to repeat a test loop before passing; the default is 1. |
P=test_pattern |
The test pattern number. The default is r, for random patterns. You may also choose 0 for 0x0000000, 3 for 0x3333333, 5 for 0x5555555, or 9 for 0x9999999. |
64-bit tests are located in the sparcv9 subdirectory: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/testname. If the 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".
Errors returned by afbtest are nonspecific: It is not possible to determine which component caused a failure. In all error conditions, the field replaceable unit (FRU) is the entire AFB.
