NAME

DESCRIPTION
     The confidence tests are a collection of programs used to verify the
     functionality of a subset of Irix peripherals.

     dial_buttons*  Dials and Buttons device.

     floppy         Floppy and floptical device test.

     keyboard       Basic (US) keyboard test.

     monitor        Basic monitor test.

     mouse          Basic mouse functionality test.

     presenter      Indy Presenter test

     spaceball*     SpaceBall test.

     tablet*        Tablet test.

     tape           4mm, 8mm, DLT, QUIC tape test.

     video          Video test.

     The tests marked with (*) are in the subsystem eoe.sw.optinput which must
     be installed before those tests are available.

     When the confidence test first starts, it will attempt to probe for any
     devices that it can find.  If a device is found then the test program for
     that device will then be shown.

     For further assistance consult the application's online help or the
     release notes.

BUGS
     Not all Irix peripherials are covered or suitable, for ex disks.  That is
     generally done by fx(1).

     Any test that uses the X server to communicate with the device cannot
     accurately detect if the device is actually present or not.  It can only
     report if the X server has been configured for that device. The
