All of these switches (except -i) can be specified on the command
line or in the INI file. Default values are in capital or specified
inside the description. Command line options always take precedence
over options specified in the INI file.

    -i filename
        Specify name of INI file. Default is VESA.INI. Specifying
        this inside an INI file will have no effect.

    -f filename
        Specify name of logfile. Default is VESA.LOG.

    -t all [ON/off]
        Turn all tests on or off.

    -t mem_dataline [ON/off]

        This test checks the display adaptor's video memory
        data path by performing a walking 1s and 0s test on the
        memory range.

    -t mem_addrline [ON/off]

        This test checks the display adaptor's video memory
        address bus by performing a walking 1s and 0s test on the
        memory range.

    -t mem_stuckbit [ON/off]

        This test checks the display adaptor's video memory
        by trying to write a block of 0s, then a block of 1s, then
        alternating 1s and 0s to the memory, and making sure the
        values are properly written to memory.

    -t video [ON/off]

        This test places the system in each one of the VESA video
        modes that are supported by the video BIOS. The user
        should see on the screen the following text with
        appropriate values:
            Mode Number,
            Resolution,
            Color Depth,
            Window Size,
            Granularity,
            Bytes per Line.
        The user is then prompted to pass or fail what is seen.
        It is up to the user to determine if what is seen is
        correct.

    -o color [on/OFF]
        When this option is on, the screen background will turn
        green if all tests pass and will turn red if one or more
        tests fail. When set to off, the screen background will
        be black.

    -o delay [0-4,294,967]
        This value controls how much time, in seconds, each video
        mode is displayed on the screen during the palette and
        text_modes tests. This option is valid only when subjective
        option is turned off. Default is 3.

    -o halt_on_error [ON/off]
        This setting specifies whether testing should continue to
        the next subsection test if a failure is found or should
        testing terminate on first failure.

    -o metrics [ON/off]
        Turn on/off creation of the metrics report file
        METRICS.LOG. This report lists the tests and their
        execution times.

    -o subjective [ON/off]
        If this switch is set to "on", the diagnostic will pause
        after every graphical rendering to wait for the user's
        subjective judgment of the rendering.  Pressing the "y"
        key passes the test, and pressing the "n" key fails it.
        If this switch is set to "off", the diagnostic will display
        the rendering for the period specified by the delay option,
        then move on to the next test. 

    -? or -h
        This switch brings up the command line help.  All the
        commands specified in here are described in brief.
