Because these resolutions are beyond the original IBM specification, do the following:
• Make sure your monitor has the desired resolution capabilities. A generic IBM clone is not able
to sync on the different frequencies required for extended modes. Refer to Table C-2 for the
horizontal and vertical frequencies for each mode. To run different extended modes, a multisync
monitor is recommended. If you are using a mUltisync monitor, make sure the maximum
horizontal and vertical frequencies are not exceeded. Otherwise, the monitor will not sync.
• Make sure a video driver is available for running your application software. These video drivers
are available from Chips & Technology. The drivers are loaded as part of the setup for the
application program. Currently available drivers include the following:
•
AutoCAD (reI. 10, 11)
