Installing the Md4/PCI Board in a PC

To support VGA display with another VGA board

To support VGA with another VGA board, you must dis-
able VGA mode on the Md4/PCI board. See "To disable
VGA mode" on page 26.
When you install the Md4/PCI board in a computer with
an existing VGA board, only one of the boards can run at
a time, which causes one board to run in high resolution
and the other to run in VGA mode only. This results from
a limitation in the software operating system.

these settings to enable or disable VGA mode, as described
