Utilities Summary

SVM.EXE
SVM
is
a menu-driven program designed to help you select and test all video
modes available to the adapter. SVM allows you to emulate EGA, CGA, and
Hercules (MDA) modes on a VGA monitor. This may be useful when you
wish
to run a special application (e.g. CGA PINBAIL).
You may also use SVM
to
select the standard VGA text mode (i.e. 80x25)
and extended VGA text and graphics modes (i.e. 132x60, 1024x768-256,
640x480-HiC). This provides
a
useful method to determine
if
a given video
mode will display correctly on your monitor.
Some game programs require you boot up in CGA mode. For these programs,
SVM will lock in CGA mode and will remain in CGA mode even
if
you warm-
boot (press [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Del]). For other modes (EGA, 1024x768-256,etc.),
SVM
will reset
to
VGA after you warm-boot. Since most standard programs
run
in
VGA mode,
do not forget
to
switch back
to
VGA mode before starting
a
standard application (e.g. Windows 3.x).
Note: Some newgraphic boards designed around the TVGA9200CXr
or
TGU194OOCXi
will not support CGA orHercules emulation.
If
youtry to use these modes, you will received a
“For old board”
message. Please choose some other mode, such as VGA or
EGA.
