USER’S MANUAL

Graphic Controller
This notebook comes with an integrated AGP-bus SiS650
video graphics accelerator based on a share memory
architecture (ie. a portion of the system memory is allocated
for graphic engine’s use.) Depending on the total system
memory installed, up to 64MB can be allocated as graphic
frame buffer. More memory to the graphic subsystem means
higher graphic performance; however, as it decreases
system memory capacity, overall system performance may
suffer.
Multimonitor Support
The notebook’s display and multimedia capabilities are great
for giving presentations. If you prefer, you can also connect
an external monitor when giving presentations. This
notebook supports LCD and CRT displays in Mirror mode or
Multimonitor Mode.
In the Mirror mode, both displays show the same content.
In the Multimonitor mode, the system allows you to open and
work on different applications independently across two
display devices (ie. the built-in LCD display and external
display.)
To enable Multimonitor function, do the following:
Connect an external CRT or projector to the notebook first
and restart the system. After boot-up, right-click the SiS icon
on the task tray. Select Display Property and then Display
Setting. You will see the Driver Mode Setting dialogue box.
In the Driver Mode pull-down menu, select Multimonitor. The
system will then ask you to reboot for the function to take
place.
Warning:
To avoid damaging
the display, do not
slam it when closing.
Do not place any
object on top of the
computer when the
display is closed.
