>Graphics Configuration

Primary Video Device – [Internal VGA] or [PCI/Int-VGA]

Internal VGA Mode Select – [Disabled], [Enabled, 1 MB], or [Enabled, 8 MB]

Aperture Size Select – [256 MB] or [128 MB]

DVMT Mode Select – [Fixed Mode], [DVMT Mode], or [Combo Mode]

DVMT/Fixed Memory – [64 MB] or [128 MB]

Boot Display Device – [Auto], [CRT only], [TV only], [SDVO only], [CRT + SDVO], [LFP only], or [CRT + LFP]

Local Flat Panel (LFP) Type [Auto] or [Select a pre-defined flat panel in Table 4-3]

Selecting [Auto] allows the BIOS to detect and configure the attached flat panel. Auto detection is performed by reading an EDID data set over the video I2C bus.

Refer to Table 4-3 for the list of predefined LVDS flat panels with the supported resolutions and flat panel types. Some LVDS panels may require video BIOS modifications. It you think this is the case, or would like help in setting up your LVDS panel, contact Ampro for assistance with the LVDS panel adaptation.

Local Flat Panel Scaling – [Centering], [Expand Text], [Expand Graphics], or [Expand Text & Graphics]
