When Setup asks for the name of the directory to contain the driver and utility files, erase the default name. Then enter the name of your utility directory, if you have one.

2.If you have not done so already, add the pathname of the VESA utility files to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. (See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions.)

3.To place the VESA driver in your computer’s memory and enable the driver, type the following and press Enter:

VESA452

If you want to enable all of the available resolutions, type the following and press Enter:

VESA452 +

Do not use the + parameter unless your monitor is capable of displaying all of the available resolutions. If you use the + parameter and then have problems with the application program that uses the VESA standard, delete the VESA driver and utility files. Then reinstall the driver and utilities, and enable VESA without using the + parameter.

Using SETVESA

The SETVESA utility allows you to set the page size and number of pages for the VESA Super VGA modes. The format for the command is:

SETVESA [ p a g e s i z e ] [ n u m b e r o f p a g e s ]

Valid values for page size are 32, 64, or 128. The number of pages can be either 1 or 2. The default values set by the VESA driver are 64 (for page size) and 1 (for number of pages). Enter the SETVESA command with new values if you want to change the default settings.
