emerge -uDNav stress |

Generally, it's best to add - |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
emerge -uDNav rss-glx |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The start up one or more of the screensavers via the commandline - |
| 17 |
/usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/skyrocket |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
which will test both openGL and sound. Add stress on the command line and |
| 20 |
that takes care of most things except 2D dma. But because desktops, like KDE, |
| 21 |
Gnome, e17, all use a layer over the X root window, one can't see the test happen. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Assuming e16, flux, openbox, etc. a script would be created that does the following - |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Sets up odd and even forefground and background with solid colors like blue, green, |
| 26 |
red, yellow. Sets the bitmap path to /usr/include/X11/bitmaps and then create a loop |
| 27 |
that takes the bitmaps, one by one, found in the previous path and rotates each one |
| 28 |
though xsetroot - xsetroot -bitmap $bgpath/$bg -fg $oddfg -bg $oddbg |
| 29 |
Then sleep for a few sec, and get the next combo. Then do all the even background |
| 30 |
combos. |
