VGA Utility
Most software that is compatible with IBM’s Personal
System/2, VGA, or EGA will run automatically on your
computer. Just turn on your computer and install your
application for IBM PS/2 models 50, 60, 70 or 80 video,
VGA, or EGA as instructed by the program’s
documentation.
Configuring Your Application Program
Many applications include an installation or configuration
program to prepare them for operation on particular
hardware. Most newer programs are able to run in the
default VGA configuration of your computer.
However, some programs are written specifically for certain
non-VGA or non-EGA video hardware so you may have to
configure your computer to behave identically to the video
board needed by the particular software. For this purpose,
your system includes a utility to configure your computer
to behave like each of the IBM standard video devices. This
utility, called VGA.EXE, is described in the following section.
The following table lists the fully compatible video
standards supported by your computer and the video
modes and resolutions available under each video standard.
