PPC-A84 User's Manual
5.1 Introduction
The PPC-A84 has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface. The specifica-
tions and features are described as follows:
5.1.1 Chipset
The PPC-A84 Series uses a NS CX5530 chipset for its SVGA controller. It
supports many popular 18-bit LCD displays and conventional analog CRT
monitors. The VGA BIOS supports LCD. In addition, it also supports
interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA)
in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibili-
ty. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported.
Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog
monitors.
5.1.2 Display memory
With 2 ~ 4 MB share memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or
color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors. The
display memory can be expanded to 4 MB in BIOS for true-color resolution
of 1024 x 768.
5.1.3 Display types
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PPC-A84 can be set
in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or on both
simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous display mode.
5.2 Installation of SVGA Driver
Complete the following steps to install the SVGA and audio driver. Follow
the procedures in the flow chart that apply to the operating system that you
you are using within your PPC-A84.
