Using Video Features Your computer has an AGP SVGA (super video graphics array) adapter installed. SVGA is a video standard for displaying text and graphic images on a monitor screen. Like other video standards, SVGA supports a variety of video modes. Video modes are different combinations of resolution, refresh rate, and color depth defined by a video standard for displaying text or graphics. (For general information on video modes, refer to Understanding Your IntelliStation E Pro.) SVGA provides higher-resolution graphics, faster refresh rates, and more colors than previous video standards, such as video graphics array (VGA). At the same time, SVGA supports all standard VGA modes. To get the best possible image on your screen and to reduce flicker, you might need to reset the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor. You can view and change monitor settings through your operating system. Instructions for doing this are included in a README file that is provided on the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD supplied with your computer. Refer to your operating-system documentation for further information on monitor settings. Important Before you change any monitor settings, be sure to review the information supplied with your monitor. Using a resolution or refresh rate that is not supported by your monitor might cause the screen to become unreadable and damage the monitor. The information supplied with your monitor usually includes the resolutions and refresh rates that the monitor supports. If you need additional information, contact the manufacturer of the monitor. To minimize screen flicker and jitter, set your monitor for the highest non-interlaced refresh rate that the monitor supports. If your monitor complies with the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard, it is probably already set to the highest refresh rate that the monitor and video controller can support. If you are not sure if your monitor is DDC-compliant, refer to the documentation provided with the monitor. Video Device Drivers To take full advantage of the video controller in your computer, some operating systems and application programs require custom software, known as video device 26 Using Your IntelliStation E Pro
drivers. These device drivers provide support for greater speed, higher resolution, more available colors, and flicker-free images. The video device drivers are provided on the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD for your computer. Instructions for installing the device drivers are provided on the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD in the README file that corresponds to your AGP graphics adapter. IBM also maintains the latest versions of video device drivers for all IBM-manufactured computers on the World Wide Web. If your computer has IBM-preinstalled software, video device drivers have already been installed on the hard disk in your computer. However, the device driver installation instructions in the README file will be helpful if you ever need to reinstall the device drivers; if you want to change video resolution, color depth, or monitor settings; or if you need information on obtaining and installing updated device drivers. Changing Monitor Settings To get the best possible image on your screen and to reduce flicker, you might need to reset the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor. You can view and change monitor settings through your operating system, using the instructions provided in the README files on Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD supplied with your computer. Refer to your operating system documentation for further information on monitor settings. Attention Before you change any monitor settings, be sure to review the information supplied with your monitor. Using a resolution or refresh rate that is not supported by your monitor might cause the screen to become unreadable and damage the monitor. The information supplied with your monitor usually includes the resolutions and refresh rates that the monitor supports. If you need additional information, contact the manufacturer of the monitor.

If your monitor complies with the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard, it is probably already set to the highest refresh rate that the monitor and video controller can support.
