Configuring video adapters

Configuring video adapters

Configuring video adapters and monitors is the process of connecting new hardware to your system and modifying the system software to recognize that hardware. Two separate activities are required:

  1. Physically install the adapter and monitor, following the instructions in the hardware documentation.

  2. Run the Video Configuration Manager to configure the SCO OpenServer video subsystem software. The video configuration window displays the configured adapters, monitors, and resolutions, together with the function (<F>) keys that are associated with each configured video adapter.

New and modified video adapter drivers are made available periodically. See the SCO Certified and Compatible Hardware web page (CHWP) for a listing of supported video adapters. For the new graphics features and drivers included with this SCO OpenServer release, see ``Video adapter support''.

This chapter describes how to use the Video Configuration Manager to configure video adapters and monitors. It includes:
