Introduction

The PCA-6155V's on-board VGA interface supports traditional analog

CRT monitors. The VGA controller is built into the system's chip

(SIS5598). It can support 1 to 4 MB of video memory share with the

system memory. The interface can drive CRT displays with resolutions

up to 1024 x 768 in 256 colors at 1 MB share memory, and up to 1280

x 1024 in 64 K colors at 4 MB share memory. The VGA interface is

configured completely via the software utility, so you do not have to

set any jumpers.

To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers and

utility software, you should read the instructions in this chapter

carefully before you attempt installation. The enhanced display drivers

for the PCA-6155V board are located on the software installation

diskette. You must install the drivers and utility software by using the

supplied SETUP program for DOS drivers.

Note:

Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers need

to have the relevant software application already installed in the

system prior to installing the enhanced display drivers. In addition,

many of the installation procedures assume that you are familiar with

both the relevant software applications and operating system com-

mands. Review the relevant operating system commands and the

pertinent sections of your application software's user's manual before

performing the installation.
