║ V7-VEGA PRO Graphics CARD : General Remarks ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
The V7-VEGA PRO graphics card is a product that offers significantly
enhanced features compared to other standard VGA graphic and
accelerator boards.
This particularly applies to
- higher resolutions and
- higher refresh rates.
Please be aware that you can only take full advantage of the
features provided by the V7-VEGA PRO, if the other components of
your system, especially the graphic monitor that is being used,
also comply with the specifications of the V7-VEGA PRO.
(Example : The resolution 1280x1024 that is supported by the
V7-VEGA PRO can obviously not be used with a monitor that is speci-
fied to only support resolutions up to 1024x768.)
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Windows Driver Installation ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
After the end of the current installation procedure,
please insert disk "Drivers for Windows" and enter:
README
(Only for floppy disk installation, does not apply to CD ROM install.)
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Monitor Selection ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
As already mentioned above, the graphics monitor used with the
V7-VEGA PRO must comply to the specifications of the V7-VEGA PRO.
Only then can the full functionality of the V7-VEGA PRO
be used.
A detailed description of available video modes can be found in
the file BIOS.TXT in the SPEA directory.
The setting of the refresh rates is for the most drivers done by
the program SMONITOR. For Windows please use the program V7SETUP to
set resolution and refresh rate.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Please only select parameters that your monitor is specified for.
Your monitor may be seriously damaged, if it is constantly driven
with parameters which are not within the range of its specification.
If you change your monitor you have to compare the specification
and, if necessary, to change the resolutions / refresh rates using
SMONITOR !
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ V7 DPMS Installation ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
You may want to install the V7 DPMS program SPENERGY.EXE to have
the energy saving modes of your monitor available. To do so,
insert the V7-VEGA PRO Superdisk labelled 'SPEAenergy'.
Use the File Manager command 'File|Run Program' and enter:
A:SPENERGY
The program will install itself on your hard disk.
(Only for floppy disk installation, does not apply to CD ROM install.)
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Known Limitations ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
(1) It is not possible to use two or more active VGA boards in one PC at
the same time.
In case you want to use the V7-VEGA PRO board in a PC that has a
VGA interface integrated on the motherboard, then this integrated
VGA interface must be disabled before the V7-VEGA PRO may be used.
(2) Some applications such as Windows 3.1, and others offer
"Video 7 ..." display interfaces
in their configuration programs.
These options should NOT be selected when using the V7-VEGA PRO.
Please follow the instructions given in the user's manual to
guarantee that the optimum configuration for the V7-VEGA PRO is
being installed.
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ corrections to the users manuals ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
1) There are some jumpers on your V7-VEGA PRO which are set by
the manufacturer and need not to be changed.
One exception is Jumper 3 on the VL Version of the V7-VEGA PRO.
This jumper provides to adjust the graphics board to the bus
frequency of your system. If your system runs with a clock rate
of 33 Mhz or less this jumper has to be removed. If the clock rate
is higher than 33 MHz, the jumper remains as it is.
2) If the program SMONITOR is started without parameter, you will
get an online help with a table for selecting the refresh rates,
Some of the displayed frequencies exceed the possibilities of the
V7-VEGA PRO. E.g. if you select a monitor with a frequency of 90 Hz,
the actual frequency will be 75 Hz. A list of all avilable video
modes can be found in the file BIOS.TXT in the SPEA diretory
(\SPEA\VEGAPRO\BIOS.TXT).
