DDC Monitor Support
VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) 1 and 2B protocols are supported,allowing
similarly enabled computers and operating system software to identify the monitor
and its capabilities. This device driver automatically detects DDC monitor capabili-
ties and sets the display to the maximum refresh rate supported by the monitor. If,
after installing this device driver, you switch from a non-DDC monitor to a DDC
monitor or switch to a different DDC monitor, you must run the DDC Display Setup
program in the System Setup folder.
Use the following procedures when installing a DDC monitor
1. Reset the display to the lowest refresh rate available. This will prevent the sys-
tem from attempting to display at a refresh rate higher than that supported by the
new monitor.
2. Shut down your system and install the new monitor.
3. Restart your system.
4. Select the "DDC Display Setup" icon in the OS/2 System Folder.
5. When you are instructed to do so, shut down your system and restart it.

mode, using the procedures in "Setting Your Display to VGA Mode" (section
5.0 in this README).
