;* Description of MGA.MON *
;************************************************************************
;
; MGA.MON is a text file containg all video parameters used by the various
; MGA monitor utilities. Those utilities read the appropriate information
; from this file based on the monitor selection and generate the
; MGA.INF file which is used by MGA Power Drivers to program the boards
; video registers for any given resolution. The MGA.MON file is divided
; in two sections: Monitor Definitions and Video Parameters. The
; Monitor Definitions section contains settings for resolutions and
; video parameters for different types of monitors. The Video Parameter
; section contains the actual video parameters for each resolution
; supported by MGA with different combinations of vertical and horizontal
; frequencies
;
;************************************************************************
;* Syntax for MGA.MON *
;************************************************************************
;
; To edit the MGA.MON file for additonal monitors or video parameters,
; follow these rules of syntax
;
; 1) Blank lines are allowed.
;
; 2) Comments must be preceeded by the ";" character.
;
; 3) There is no maximum number of monitors that can be added to MGA.MON.
;
; 4) The monitor id string must be in brackets with a maximum 52 characters.
; Spaces and non-alphanumeric characters are allowed.
; Example: [Multi-frequency Monitor up to 1280X1024 @90Hz]
;
; 5) For each monitor, each of the 8 possible resolutions must be defined.
;
; 6) For each resolution, the first parameter indicates whether that
; resolution is non-interlaced (NI), interlaced (I) or not available (NA).
; Examples:
; --
; 640X480 = NI, *640X480X60Hz ;non-interlaced
; --
; -
; 640X480 = I, *640X480X60Hz ;interlaced
; -
; --
; 640X480 = NA ;not available
; --
; 7) If available, a second parameter indicates the video parameter set to use.
; --------------
; Example: 1024X768 = NI, *1024X768X60Hz
; --------------
; 8) Video parameter sets are contained in the Video Parameters section.
; The name of the set must be in brackets, and must start with a "*" and
; contain a maximum of 64 char. Spaces and non-alphanumeric characters
; are allowed.
;
; Example: [*640X480X72Hz]
;
; 9) For each resolution, it is possible to specify different video
; parameter set for different pixel depths, by using the X8, X16 or X24
; suffix. Example:
;
; 1024X768 = NI, *1024X768X76Hz ; will be used for 8 and 16 bpp
; 1024X768.X24 = NI, *1024X768X60Hz ; will be used for 24 bpp
;
; 10) For each resolution, PixelTouch zoom factors of 2 and 4 will be
; calculated automatically by the Monitor program using the base video
; parameters. Specific Z2 and Z4 parameters can however be specified.
; if necessary. Only horizontal parameters are affected by specific zoom
; parameters, and should be multiples of 32.
;
; Examples: 1024X768.Z2 = NI, *1024X768X76HzZ2
; 1024X768.X24.Z4 = NI, *1024X768X60HzZ4
;
;
;************************************************************************
;* Monitor Definitions *
;************************************************************************
;
; This section contains monitor definitions used by the MGA monitor programs.
; Each monitor definition has a maximum resolution and vertical frequency
; indicated in its title. The maximum resolution is important for use with
; ModeSWITCH, since Modeswitch starts Windows in the highest resolution
; supported by the selected monitor (before switching to the user's "Mode1").
;
