Advantech PCM-3350 Series user manual Chipset, Display memory

6.1Introduction

The PCM-3350 Series has an on-board LCD/VGA interface. The specifications and features are described as follows:

6.1.1 Chipset

The PCM-3350 uses an NS CS5530A chipset for its VGA controller. It supports many popular 18-bit LCD displays and conventional analog CRT monitors. The VGA BIOS supports LCD. 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) moni- tors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

6.1.2 Display memory

With 1 ~ 4 MB share memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors. The display memory can be expanded to 4 MB in BIOS for true-color resolution of 1024 x 768.

6.2Installation of SVGA driver

Complete the following steps to install the SVGA driver. Follow the procedures in the flow chart that apply to the operating system that you are using within your PCM-3350.

Note 1: The CD-ROM drive is designated as "D:" throughout this chapter.

Note 2: <Enter> means pressing the “Enter” key on the keyboard.

Note 3: When you are using a CRT display, please make sure that your flat panel resolution settings (in the BIOS setup) are the same as your VGA resolution settings (in Windows). Otherwise your display may behave strangely.
