Using Special VGA Features

Your built-in VGA (video graphics array) display adapter
supports both standard VGA monitors and multi-frequency
monitors with analog connectors in non-interlaced mode. The
VGA adapter allows these monitors to operate in all standard
VGA modes without requiring any special device drivers.
However, if you want to use extended or super-extended VGA
modes, you can install one or more of the device drivers
provided on the Utility diskettes that came with your system.
These drivers allow you to use all of the capabilities of your
monitor and your built-in VGA display adapter.
The device drivers provide VGA features such as these:
Resolutions of 800
with 16 colors
Resolutions up to 640
colors
132-column text mode in 16 colors
Graphics cursor movement performed by the built-in VGA
hardware.
Note
To use graphic display drivers in 800
resolutions, you must have a multi-frequency monitor capable
of displaying these resolutions. Standard VGA monitors are
not able to display them.
