CLMODE is a DOS program that provides comprehensive features for configuring your video system. The main functions of CLMODE are Configuration, which offers the same options as WinPANEL; Monitor Type, which allows you to select different external monitor configurations based on refresh rate and resolution; and Video Modes, which previews the available color/resolution combinations.

To run CLMODE, log onto the C:\VGAUI’IL directory, type CLMODE, and press Enter. YOU can also enter CLMODE commands from the DOS prompt by first typing CLMODE? to display a list of the command line options.

SWITCHER is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) utility that enables you to set configuration options through hot key sequences. To load SWITCHER, log onto the C:\VGAUTIL directory, type SWITCHER, and press Enter. You wil see a list

of the available hot keys.

CLVESA and BOLD_DRV are TSR utilities that allow you to use specific options within CLMODE and WinPANEL programs. For more information, see the on line help for the Panel Bold Mode and VESA Mode Number options.

Your computer automatically senses when an external monitor is connected and disables the LCD screen. You can then use SetRES if you want to take advantage of your monitor's high resolution capabilities. You will be prompted to restart Windows before the higher resolution takes effect. When you want to switch back to your LCD screen, you first need to select the standard VGA

640 x 480 resolution.

The default rate for 1024 x 768 resolution is 87 Hz, interlaced. If your monitor supports non-interlaced display at this resolution, or if you experience problems with flickering run CLMODE and select a different monitor type.
