6.1 Introduction
The PPC-S123 has an onboard AGP flat panel/VGA interface. The
specifications and features are described as follows:
6.1.1 Chipset
The PPC-S123 uses a Lynx EM4 SMI710 chipset from Silicon Motion
Inc. for its AGP/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL,
and gas plasma flat panel displays and conventional analog CRT
monitors. The SMI 710 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL,
color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also
supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and
monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while
maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors
(i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency
(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.
