Using DOS video utilities

For instructions on installing utilities, see “Configuring Video Software in
DOS,” earlier in this appendix.

VESA BIOS Extension

The VESA BIOS Extension (VBE) utility is a DOS TSR program called
M64VBE.COM. This program supports software running on VESA modes
using mach64 features. If your software and/or games conform to the VBE
standard, you should load M64VBE.COM before using your software.

To load the utility, change to the directory containing the utility and type the following:

M64VBE <Enter>

To display help, type:

M64VBE ? <Enter>

To unload the utility, type:

M64VBE U <Enter>

Refer to your DOS documentation for more information about TSR programs.

DPMS for DOS

DPMS—the Display Power Management Signaling system—is not supported
by the PC Compatibility Card.
