Chapter 6

Using the

VGA

Utilities

Your hard disk drive contains special VGA (video graphics array)

drivers and utilities for your computer’s built-in VGA controller.
This chapter describes how to install and use these drivers and
utilities.

Note

You need to install the drivers only if you plan to use an

external VGA or SVGA monitor. Your LCD screen, which
provides a VGA resolution of 640 x 480 with 32 shades of gray,
does not require a driver.

Because software programs can run on different types of display
adapters with different types of monitors, the VGA drivers

identify your display adapter and monitor for the software. These
drivers are files your software uses to communicate with your
display adapter and monitor.

A utility is a program that supports the processes of a computer.
The VGACONF utility allows you to change the system’s default
graphic configuration and enhance your system operation by

setting various video modes.

The ActionNote’s built-in VGA adapter is 100% compatible with

IBM

®

VGA. This adapter allows you to use the computer with

Epson VGA monitors, other brands of VGA monitors, and
VGA-compatible, multifrequency monitors that use analog input.
The drivers and utilities described in this chapter work with any of
these monitors.
