The 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card Driver
The 3Dlabs driver software lets you optimize the working relationship between your card, your system,
and your applications. The 3Dlabs Display Control Panel allows you to customize and create driver
settings. The Taskbar-based Configuration Manager provides quick and convenient access to most of the
Display Control Panel features, and allows you to quickly switch between alternative driver settings.
The Task Bar-based Configuration Manager
When you install your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card and software, a small yellow box with “3D”
appears in your system tray, also called the task bar. Click the logo with your right mouse button to
access the Display Configuration Manager and its shortcuts to these configuration tools:
• Optimized Application enables you to quickly configure your graphics adapter to use optimal
settings for a specific application.
NOTE: Changing these settings can overwrite changes made to the
OpenGL or DirectX pages. It is advisable to select an
Optimized Application before making changes to the other
pages.
• Display 1 Settings brings up a pop-up list of supported resolutions. Each resolution has an
associated pop-up list of available refresh rates. If you are in dual monitor mode, then Display 1
Settings and Display 2 Settings will appear.
• Acuity Windows Manager allows you to enable, disable, and change the properties of the 3Dlabs
Acuity Windows Manager.
• Display Properties reaches the display control panel.
• Exit closes the dialog box.
The Display Control Panel
Access the configuration tools through the Display Properties Control Panel via one of the following
options:
Option 1: Click the desktop with your right mouse button (or left click if you’ve changed your
mouse options) and click Display Properties.
Option 2: Click the “3D” in the system tray to access the Task Bar-based Configuration Manager,
and then click Display Properties.
