Configuring the System
This chapter describes how to configure basic components of your
Zx
1
workstation for use.
Configuring the Video Display
The first time you start the system, your monitor displays a resolution of 1024 x 768. For the
system to use the installed graphics controller at other display resolutions, you must configure the
video display driver as described in this section.
From the operating system Start menu, go to Settings/Control Panel/Display to configure the video
display driver, or right-click an open space on the operating system desktop and click Properties in
the pop-up menu. In the Display Properties dialog, you can change the settings for color depth,
desktop size, font size, refresh rate, and display type of the system’s video display. You can also
determine which type of graphics controller is installed on your system.
See the graphics controller documentation delivered with the system, and any
README
files
delivered with the video display driver, for detailed configuration instructions. For information on
using the Display Properties dialog, see the operating system documentation and Help.
Resetting the Video Display Resolution
If the monitor connected to your system does not support a resolution of 1024 x 768, you can reset
the video display to another resolution.
To reset the video display resolution:
1.
Restart the system.
2.
At the boot screen, select the VGA mode option, and then log on to the operating system.
3.
From the operating system Start menu, go to Settings/Control Panel/Display.
4.
In the Display Properties dialog, select a resolution appropriate for your system's monitor.
5.
Click Test to test the new video mode.
6.
Restart the system if prompted to do so.
