Using Special VGA Features

Your built-in VGA display adapter supports standard VGA
monitors and multi-frequency monitors with analog
connectors. 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 VGA
modes, you can install one or more of the device drivers
provided on your Utility diskettes. These drivers allow you to
use all of the capabilities of your monitor and built-in VGA
display adapter.
The device drivers provide VGA features such as these:
in graphics modes with 16 colors
256 colors
132-column text mode in 16 colors
VGA hardware.
Note
To use graphic display drivers in 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768
resolutions, you must have a multi-frequency monitor
capable of displaying these resolutions. Standard VGA
monitors cannot display them.
