Resolutions and Refresh Rates
If the graphics adapter and the monitor both support a VESA Display Data Channel, this is the
default choice. This means that CLMode was able to identify the monitor and knows what resolu-
tions and refresh rates are available for the monitor.
Select the refresh rate for each resolution. If the monitor was selected by name, then selecting the
highest refresh for each resolution gives the highest quality display. If Other Brand or Other
Model was selected, consult the manual which came with the monitor to determine the proper
refresh rates.
Hot Key Combinations
At the bottom of the screen are six buttons. Each button represents a different option or window. If
you are using a mouse, click on the option desired. For keyboard use, the underlined letter of a
button name specifies the hot key combination for that item. Press the <Alt> key and the under-
lined letter key simultaneously to select that option.
Configuration Information
In the lower right corner of the main window is configuration information about the graphics sys-
tem. The information details the VGA BIOS version, the total display memory of the graphics
controller, whether or not an EEPROM is present, and whether or not a centering TSR is loaded.
This information is useful when installing software or getting technical support.
Preview Video Modes
Select the Preview button. The Video Modes Preview window displays a list of all of the modes
supported based on the currently selected monitor timings and the amount of video memory present.
This list of video modes tells you which are available in your current configuration for use with
extended resolution drivers. To see what different video modes look like on your monitor, select
the Show button. After each test screen is displayed, press <Enter> to advance to the next test.
Press <Esc> to return to the Video Modes Preview window.
