BIOS Features
Æ
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
PCI/VGA Palette
Snoop
Enabled
Disabled
Enabling this item informs the PCI VGA card to keep
silent (and to prevent conflict) when palette register is
updated (i.e., accepts data without responding any
communication signals). This is useful only when two
display cards use the same palette address and plugged
in the PCI bus at the same time (such as MPEQ or Video
capture). In such case, PCI VGA is silent while
MPEQ/Video capture is set to function normally.
