latest GRAPHICS kit, if required. View the Readme files for each kit to
determine if the UPDATE kit has superseded the GRAPHICS kit or if the
GRAPHICS kit is newer than the UPDATE kit.
If you ordered the 3Dlabs OXYGEN VX1 PCI graphics controller separately,
then follow the additional instructions provided with the module to install the
appropriate support software contained on the CD-ROM shipped with the
module. Also, check the World Wide Web location at
http:://www.support.Compaq.com/patches/ for newer patch kits that may have
superseded the installation CD-ROM provided.

The modes available are dependent on monitor capabilities. In general, refresh
rates below 70 Hz are discouraged, as they tend to show flicker based on the
lighting source and surrounding equipment.
The available resolution is monitor dependent. All heads must have the same
pixel depth. The pixel depth default is 8 bits per pixel.
