Hi Weblacky,

you need to be running X Server to get GFX test to run,

So I:
1. Started machine as usual
2. Open up terminal windows
3. Shutdown non essential services (sgi_apache, mediad etc)
4. cd'ed to /tmp
5. run /usr/diags/bin/pandora (no arguments, doing -help will bring up some help)
6. It reported running progress on various tests it was running
7. The GUI testing was evident by it doing some graphics stuff in top right of display
8. Reported final result

NOTE: you can redirect the output if you want to save log
It created a "sysinfo" file which had details of where it has written stuff to

So not very spectacular and not much in way of verbose output.

If you read the "runalldiags" script you will see that is essentially runs a little scripted loop, to put a spinning wheel on screen, but I think the script does not do much more than invoke the underlying individual test programs. It does "fork", so the programs run decoupled and then monitors them to see if any of the test programs "hang".

NOTE: I elected to just run this test as the PCI test crashes and the machine reboots ... so my previous test never got to pandora GFX test

Cheers from Oz,
