IPPC-9151 Series Users Manual 38
Chapter 6 VGA Setup

6.1 Introduction

The IPPC-9151 has an onboard AGP flat panel/VGA interface. The spec-
ifications and features are described as follows:

6.1.1 Chipset

IPPC-9151 uses a 845G chipset from Intel for its controller. It supports
many popular LCDs, and LVDS LCD displays and conventional analog
CRT monitors. The 845G VGA BIOS supports color TFT and DSTN
LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also supports interlaced and non-
interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolu-
tion modes while
maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors
(i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency
(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

6.1.2 Display memory

The 845G chip can support 8MB frame buffer shared with system mem-
ory; the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel displays
with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 @ 256K colors.

6.1.3 Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The IPPC-9151 can
be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or
on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous dis-
play mode. If you want to enable the CRT display only or the flat panel
display only, please contact Intel, or our sales representative for detailed
information.
