Enable write combining
With this
option
selected write combining is enabled on CPUs with Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pen-
tium IV and Celeron processor.
Default
selected
Effective
after rebooting
Table 3-6
Write combining enables the CPU to transfer images to the graphical boards faster but may cause rendering er-
rors if used with incompatible hardware.
PCI mapping cache size
The amount of memory available for PCI mapping cache can be entered in the
PCI mapping cache size
text box.
The value is specified in Megabytes.
Value
4 ... 64
Default
64
Effective
after rebooting
Table 3-7
The PCI mapping cache address space is actually consumed in multiples of 16 MB. The specified value is rounded
to the next larger 4 MB or 16 MB multiple.
Enable orbiting
With this
option
selected the orbiting of the display is started and the orbiting time can be defined.
Default
not selected
Effective
initially after rebooting, changed value after one step
Table 3-8
When connecting display devices susceptible to image burn-in like CRT monitors to E
OS
, the orbiting mode can
help to reduce this effect. With orbiting a reduced Windows desktop is moved permanently around on the con-
nected CRT devices with the steps specified in seconds.
With Orbiting enabled the standard resolutions are reduced by 16 pixels on horizontal and vertical direction. A
desktop of 1280×960 pixels is thus reduced to 1264×944 pixels. The least permissible resolution is 800×600
(784×584) pixels because a reduced VGA display would fall below the minimum Windows desktop size of
640×480.
Grayscale mode
With this option selected the display driver offers a single 8 bpp format with a fixed palette containing up to 256
shades of gray (linear or gamma corrected).
Default
not selected
Effective
initially after rebooting
