* To look at your system (hardware) error log, try /systest/ssr_util/lsyserr  ...

* As of sr10.1.p (DN10K) and/or sr10.2 (m68k and DN10K) try
   /systest/ssr_util/color_probe [-rgb] [-b]

  -rgb makes it show a true-color color map on VS systems 
  -b   makes it run in borrow mode.

  You can use the mouse to point to colors.  If you press a mouse key, it'll
  flash the color you're pointing to.  Left=red, middle=green, right=blue .

* On the DN10000VS there's an "interactive mouse diagnostic" :-) 
  /systest/ssr_util/bzone_vs 

Have fun.
