# dga(1x)

test program for the XFree86-DGA extension

## NAME

dga - test program for the XFree86-DGA extension

## SYNOPSIS

**dga**

## DESCRIPTION

Dga is a simple test client for the XFree86-DGA extension.  It fills the screen with a different colour for each key pressed. It prints some basic framebuffer parameters, and also keyboard and pointer events to stdout.  To exit, hit the \`q' key. Hitting the \`b' key runs a simple benchmark, measuring raw framebuffer write and read speed (this takes one second each).
