Add stress on the command line and that takes care of most things except 2D dma. But because desktops, like KDE, Gnome, e17, all use a layer over the X root window, one can't see the test happen. Assuming e16, flux, openbox, etc. a script would be created that does the following - Sets up odd and even forefground and background with solid colors like blue, green, red, yellow. Sets the bitmap path to /usr/include/X11/bitmaps and then create a loop that takes the bitmaps, one by one, found in the previous path and rotates each one though xsetroot - xsetroot -bitmap $bgpath/$bg -fg $oddfg -bg $oddbg Then sleep for a few sec, and get the next combo. Then do all the even background combos. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
