The Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Test exercises the graphics device interface. This test verifies that basic shapes, including rectangles, triangles, circles, and ellipses, are drawn correctly. It also examines the color palette of the display, verifies that the display is correctly divided into multiple regions, and tests whether a device context can be properly created, stored, retrieved, and destroyed.
The test compares the display output to the output of a GPE–based display driver. If the output of the display driver does not match the output rendered by the GPE–based display driver, the test lists the coordinates and pixel values that do not match.
To view the output of a GPE–based display driver, boot a target device with the flat display driver and then run the test.
