PowerStorm 300 AGP and 300/350 PCI Graphics Controllers 5–1

Operation (Windows NT)
5.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information about post-installation tasks and use of the OpenGL
display drivers with a PowerStorm 300 AGP or 300/350 PCI graphics controller on either
the Intel or Alpha Windows NT platforms.
5.2 After Installation
After you have installed the PowerStorm 300/350 display driver, you may need to change
the screen resolution and refresh rate, manage buffer swap, or identify the display driver
version for troubleshooting purposes. The following sections describe how to perform
these tasks.
5.2.1 Changing the Screen Resolution and Refresh Rate
The screen resolution and refresh rates are collectively referred to as the display mode.
Table 5-1, Table 5-2, and Table 5-3 indicate which display modes are supported by the
PowerStorm 300 PCI and PowerStorm 350 PCI graphic controllers. Note that the
PowerStorm 350 PCI graphics controller has twice as much frame buffer memory, and can
thus support some higher resolutions than the PowerStorm 300 PCI graphics controller.
Before changing the display mode, verify that your monitor can handle the new values.
Refer to your monitor documentation for this information. Then perform the following
steps:
1. From the desktop, choose My Computer.
2. Choose Control Panel.
3. Choose Display.
4. Choose the Settings tab.
