When Setup asks for the name of the directory to contain
the driver and utility files, erase the default name. Then
enter the name of your utility directory, if you have one.
If you have not done so already, add the pathname of the
VESA utility files to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. (See your
MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions.)
To place the VESA driver in your computer’s memory and
enable the driver, type the following and press Enter:
VESA452
If you want to enable all of the available resolutions, type
the following and press
Enter:
VESA452 +
Do not use the + parameter unless your monitor is capable
of displaying all of the available resolutions. If you use the +
parameter and then have problems with the application
program that uses the VESA standard, delete the VESA
driver and utility files. Then reinstall the driver and utilities,
and enable VESA without using the + parameter.
Using SETVESA
The SETVESA utility allows you to set the page size and
number of pages for the VESA Super VGA modes. The format
for the command is:
SETVESA [page size] [number of pages]
Valid values for page size are 32, 64, or 128. The number of pages
can be either 1 or 2. The default values set by the VESA driver
are 64 (for page size) and 1 (for number of pages). Enter the
SETVESA command with new values if you want to change the
default settings.
