Hardware Installation Hardware Installation HOT-137/HOT-139 PCI VGA card automatically detects whether you are using a monochrome or color monitor. Therefore, the monitor must be turned on before the computer, or an incorrect monitor type may be detected. This card supports most analog monitors on the market. If monitor type is not detected during power-up, the card will default to support monochrome VGA.
Installing the Hardware Jumper Setting The HOT-137/HOT-139 has one jumper to determine the IRQ9 setting. The jumper is preset at the factory and in most cases you will not need to change it. The jumper at location J6 enables or disables IRQ9.

HAPTER Windows Driver Setup Windows Driver Setup IGA Windows Driver Setup The Integrated Graphics Accelerator (IGA) is a 64 bit high performance Windows Graphics User Inter- face Accelerator. Its powerful hardware graphics drawing engine provides the fastest speed for running Windows applications.
Normal Setup To setup your IGA Graphics Accelerator without Virtual Desktop, you have to make sure that the check box "Virtual Desktop Enable" is unchecked. For normal setting up, you have four parameters to select for configuring your IGA Graphics Accelerator: resolutions, refresh rates, color depths and font sizes. The highest resolution you can choose is 1600x1200.
Page 33
Step 2. Use the combo box "Color Depth" to choose a color depth. For most software and appli- cations, 256 colors will be a good choice. If you need to display real life video or photo, you may need 64k or even 16.7 million colors. Step 3.
Cofigure Virtual Desktop Environment The IGA Graphics Accelerator is a powerful graphics interface card. A 2 Mb board can support as high as 1600x1200 resolution in 256 colors. But, a monitor running at that high resolution may cost a lot of money.
Page 35
Step 3. Use the combo box "Viewport Size" to choose a display mode for your monitor -- a resolution and refresh rate combination. This is the actual resolution and refresh rate that your monitor will work on. The setup program has a few default display modes. If those default display modes do not satisfy your requirement, please refer to Define Viewport Mode for defining your own Viewport modes.
Accept Selection When you finish your setup, you can simply click on the " OK" button to accept your selection. The setup program will modify system.ini and win.ini files in your Windows directory (the driver and other font files should already be copied to your system by the installation program). If you are running virtual desktop, you can use the setup program to switch your Viewport from one resolution to another on the fly.
Define Viewport Mode The button "Define Viewport Mode" will bring you another dialog window to assist defining Viewport modes for your virtual desktop. The left list box of the dialog window has all the modes available for IGA graphics accelerator. In the right list box are the modes you defined for your Viewport.
Display Screen Centering The Screen Centering provides an easy way to adjust the position of your screen on the monitor. The program not only centers the screen, it will also record the position you have set into a file. This is particularly useful when using virtual desktop to switch from one resolution to another resolution.
Virtual Desktop Control The program "VD Control" (Virtual Desktop Control) is a convenient tool for virtual desktop users to do their daily work in virtual desktop environment. When the program starts, it will freeze the Viewport even you did not set your Viewport to be freeze. By moving the small red rectangle in the program control panel, you can easily move your Viewport around the virtual desktop.
When discussing color depth, 8 bits per pixel (8bpp) is the same as 256 colors, 16 bits per pixel (16bpp) is the same as 65,000colors, and 24 bits per pixel (24bpp) is the same as 16.7 million colors. HOT-137/ 139 also supports 15bpp (32000 colors). Any resolution and refresh settings that support 16bpp will support 15bpp.
