4.1 Introduction

The PCM-9576F has an onboard AGP flat panel/VGA interface. The
specifications and features are described as follows:

4.1.1 Chipset

The PCM-9576F uses a LynxEM SMI 710/721 chipset from Silicon
Motion Inc. for its AGP/SVGA controller. It supports many popular
LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays 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.

4.1.2 Display memory

With onboard 4/8 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.

4.1.3 Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCM-9576F
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, please contact Silicon Motion Inc.
or our sales representative for detailed information.
