NAME

atiode - 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.
