5.1 Introduction

The IPPC-9120/9150 has an onboard AGP flat panel/VGA interface.
The specifications and features are described as follows:

5.1.1 Chipset

The IPPC-9120/9150 uses a Lynx3DM chipset from Silicon Motion
Inc. for its AGP/SVGA controller. It supports TFT, DSTN flat panel
dispays and conventional analog CRT monitors. The SMI 710 VGA
BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat
panel displays. In addition, it also supports interlaced and non-
interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-
resolution modes while
maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors
(i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency
(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

5.1.2 Display memory

With onboard 4 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive
CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x
768 at 16 M colors.

5.1.3 Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The IPPC-9120/
9150 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat
panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to
simultaneous display mode. If you want to enable the CRT display
only or the flat panel display only, contact Silicon Motion Inc. or our
sales representative for detailed information.
