Appendix B

Display Controller and Video mode

Display controller

The display controller interprets software commands into hardware

commands that turn particular parts on the screen on or off.

The display controller also controls the video mode and uses industry

standard rules to govern the screen resolution and the maximum number of

colors that can be displayed at any one time. Therefore, software written for

a given video mode will run on any computer that supports that mode.

Video mode

Video mode settings are configured via the Screen Resolution dialog.
To open the Screen Resolution dialog, click Start  Control Panel 

Appearance and Personalization  Display  Change display

settings.

Due to the display panel's increased resolution, lines may appear broken

in when displaying images in full-screen text mode.

If you are running some applications (for example a 3D application or

video playback and so on), you may see some disturbance, flickering or

frame dropping on your screen.
If that occurs, adjust the resolution of display, lowering it until the screen is

displayed properly.
Disabling Windows Aero

TM

may also help correct this issue.
