An additional adjustment for monitor SYNC POLARITY is available while centering is active. To
adjust the polarity of the current mode, press the PgUp or PgDn keys (while in Preview) to cycle
through the available options (Vertical Sync Polarity/Horizontal Sync Polarity):
+/+, +/-, -/+, -/-
Note: Centering will not be allowed if CENTER.COM is loaded. You must unload CENTER.COM
before attempting to save new adjustments.
Limitations: You may only adjust and save 16 modes at a time to CENTER.COM.
Retrieving the Current VGA Controller Status
Information displayed in the CLMode Setup Window includes the VGA controller type, the BIOS
version number, and the amount of video memory present.
Exiting the CLMode
To exit CLMode at any time, press the [Alt] and [F4] keys simultaneously, or click the left mouse
button on the system button of the CLMode Setup Window (i.e., the top left corner button of the
window, shown as a bar), or select the Exit button. When the CLMode utility exits, the current video
mode, monitor type, and VGA refresh rate are displayed.
When CLMODE is exited, the settings are saved to the on-board EEPROM. These settings are
automatically loaded by the video BIOS the next time the board is powered up. Note that CLMODE
does not show the EEPROM present until it has been initialized. The presence of the EEPROM can
be confirmed in the System Information Box of the main CLMode window.
Since the settings are saved to the EEPROM, the zPM11 always powers up using these modes and
refresh rates. Make sure to reset the zPM11 to the default values (all modes using 60 Hz refresh
rates) before switching to a different monitor that might not be able to handle the previous modes and
refresh rates.
Using CLMode's Command Line Options
When command line options for CLMODE.EXE are given at the DOS prompt, the menu-driven
windows are not displayed. Instead, configuration, monitor type, video mode and refresh rate are set
at the DOS prompt. The command line options for CLMODE.EXE are listed below:
T640=Hz, where Hz = [60] [72] [75] [85]
T800=Hz, where Hz = [56] [60] [72] [75] [85] [0]
T1024=Hz, where Hz = [87] [60] [70] [72] [75] [85] [0]
T1280=Hz, where Hz = [87] [60] [72] [75] [0]
T1152=Hz, where Hz = [70] [75] [0]
T1600=Hz, where Hz = [96] [0]
Note: 0 means set it as unavailable.
