If
you are switching from a monochrome mode to a color mode, or
vice versa, the program will remind you to check
if
you have the
correct monitor connected to the ATI Graphics Solution. It is
important that you follow the directions carefully; otherwise,
damage could result to your monitor that is not covered by our
warranty.
If
you are switching to a 132-column mode and are planning to run
an application program in this mode you must make sure that the
application program itself supports 132-column mode.
Mer becoming familiar with the Mode Switching program, you
may wish to skip the menu. To do this enter
A> VSET (keyword) (return)
You can find the keyword of your choice from Figure D-4, or from
the on-screen menu.
0.3.3 Special Note For Using the Monochrome
Graphics Mode
If
you plan to use your AT! Graphics Solution in the Monochrome
Graphics mode, a utility program must be run to allocate 1 or 2
pages of memory for graphics. This utility, which must be used in
order to perform graphics, is included with the mode switching
software. It loads automatically.
Possible keywords are:
MT -This disables graphics making the video function identical to
the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter.
MGI-Allocates memory for single page graphics. This allows the
presence or use of another video adapter such as the IBM Color/
Graphics Adapter.
MG2-This command allocates 2 pages of memory to graphics.
This is the option you must use to run Lotus and most monochrome
graphics programs. If you run Lotus you must also configure the
Lotus video driver for the Hercules board.
0.3.4 Configuring Your Application Software
This section is designed to help you to configure your application
software (such as Lotus 1-2-3) for the video mode you are using.
Emulation Mode
If
your software has a Plantronics driver (such as Lotus Symphony),
install that driver when operating under the emulation mode.
Otherwise, install the Color/Graphics driver.
