CLMODE is a DOS program that provides comprehensive

features for configuring your video system. The main

functions of CLMODE are Configuration, which offers the

same options as WinPANEL; Monitor Type, which allows you

to select different external monitor configurations based on

refresh rate and resolution; and Video Modes, which previews

the available color/resolution combinations.

To run CLMODE, log onto the C:\VGAUI’IL directory, type

CLMODE, and press Enter. YOU can also enter CLMODE

commands from the DOS prompt by first typing CLMODE? to

display a list of the command line options.

SWITCHER is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) utility that

enables you to set configuration options through hot key

sequences. To load SWITCHER, log onto the C:\VGAUTIL

directory, type SWITCHER, and press Enter. You wil see a list

of the available hot keys.

CLVESA and BOLD_DRV are TSR utilities that allow you to

use specific options within CLMODE and WinPANEL

programs. For more information, see the on line help for the

Panel Bold Mode and VESA Mode Number options.

Your computer automatically senses when an external monitor is

connected and disables the LCD screen. You can then use SetRES if

you want to take advantage of your monitor's high resolution

capabilities. You will be prompted to restart Windows before the

higher resolution takes effect. When you want to switch back to

your LCD screen, you first need to select the standard VGA

640 x 480 resolution.

The default rate for 1024 x 768 resolution is 87 Hz,

interlaced. If your monitor supports non-interlaced display at this

resolution, or if you experience problems with flickering run

CLMODE and select a different monitor type.
