PCI-6771 User's Manual
4.1
Introduction
The PCI-6771 has an on-board AGP flat panel/VGA interface. The
specifications and features are described as follows:
4.1.1 Chipset
The PCI-6771 uses a Trident 9525DVD chipset for its AGP/SVGA
controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat
panel displays and conventional analog CRT monitors. The 9525
VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN
LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also supports interlaced and
non-interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in
high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA
compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT
supported. Multiple frequency
(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.
4.1.2 Display memory
With 2.5 MB display memory on chip, the VGA controller can drive
CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x
768 at 16.8 M colors. (With an option of 8 MB display memory on
chip). This yields true-color resolution of 1280 x 1024.
4.1.3 Display types
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCI-6771
can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel
display, or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to
simultaneous display mode. The BIOS setup can be used to configure
the display. In BIOS, select “Integrated Peripherals”, then “Boot-up
display type.” You can then choose one of the following modes:
“CRT only”, “Panel only”, or “Simultaneous.”
