Using Special VGA Features

Your built-in VGA (video graphics array) display adapter supports both standard VGA monitors and multi-frequency monitors with analog connectors. The VGA adapter allows these monitors to operate in all standard VGA modes without requiring any special device drivers. However, if you are using a multi-frequency monitor that supports extended VGA features, you may want to use one or more of the device drivers provided on the Utility diskettes that came with your system. These device drivers allow you to use all of the capabilities of your monitor and your built-in VGA display adapter.

You need to install device drivers if you want to use extended VGA features such as these:

Cl Resolutions up to 800 x 600 in graphics modes with 16 colors

0 132-column text mode in 16 colors

Cl Graphics cursor movement performed by the built-in VGA hardware.
