atiode(1) proprietary ATI RADEON and FireGL stress testing

DESCRIPTION

atiode stress tests overclocking settings for ATI (MOBILITY(TM)) RADEON® and (MOBILITY(TM)) FireGL(TM) based video cards.

OPTIONS

atiode currently requires the following options:

-P

Number of seconds to run the stress test.

-H

Display to use for the stress test.

EXAMPLES

The following example demonstrates how to use atiode. Note that both -P and -H are required, otherwise the command will terminate with an error.

For example, to run a stress test for 60 seconds on the default display (display :0), execute the following command.

atiode -P 60 -H :0

OUTPUT

The results of the stress test will be stored into stderr. You can read stderr with the echo command:
echo $?

One of the following error codes will be presented:

0: stress test successful.

1: incorrect command-line arguments.

2: video display adapter not found.

3: stress test terminated; unknown error.
