Cofigure Virtual Desktop Environment
The IGA Graphics Accelerator is a powerful graphics interface card. A 2 Mb board can support as high as
1600x1200 resolution in 256 colors. But, a monitor running at that high resolution may cost a lot of
money. The Virtual Desktop of the IGA Graphics Accelerator provides a practical solution for the
problem. By setting up Virtual Desktop, you can set your Windows to work in a much higher resolution
than your monitor can support while setting your monitor working at a low resolution.
In a Virtual Desktop environment, you can see only a portion of the Windows desktop at one time. You
can either use the mouse to move the viewpoint -- your monitor screen, or you can freeze your
viewpoint and use another program -- "Virtual Desk," provided together with this program, to control
your viewpoint position in the Virtual Desktop environment. Next is the procedure to setup the Virtual
Desktop Environment:
Step 1.
Check the check box "Virtual Desktop
Enable" first.
Step 2.
Use the combo box "Virtual Desktop"
to choose a resolution for your Virtual
Desktop. This resolution is only limited
by the memory on your Graphics
Accelerator board. The setup program is
designed with this factor in mind. You
can select any number provided by the
program safely.
