Trident Generic PCI Display Adapter
¬

¬ Display Devices

This PCI bus device driver automatically detects the target adapter.  

Supported Hardware: 
	Trident display adapters with 1MB and 2MB of display memory.  The driver has been tested with the Trident TGUI9440 and TGUI9680 advanced GUI accelator adapters, but should support other 9xxx based Trident adapters as well. This driver uses Trident's video BIOS to set display modes, therefore it is more likely to function correctly with add-on adapters.

This driver supports the following 1MB display modes.  Not all Trident display adapters may support all refresh rates.

8-bit Color	16-bit Color	32-bit color

640x480	640x480		
60, 72 Hz	60, 72Hz

800x600 	800x600 	
60, 75 Hz	60 Hz	

1024x768 	
60, 70, 75 Hz	

If your display adapter has 2 megabytes of RAM, the device driver supports the following additional display modes.  As before, not all Trident display adapters may support all refresh rates.

8-bit Color	16-bit Color	32-bit color

		640x480
														60, 72, 75 Hz
														
		800x600
														60, 75 Hz
														
	1024x768
	60, 70, 75 Hz
	
1280x1024 	
60, 70, 75 Hz	

Supported Displays:  NeXT designs and tests its display adapter device drivers using very high frequency displays that can support display modes with very high resolutions and non-interlaced refresh rates, such as the NEC 5FG, NEC 6FG, and Nokia Multigraph 445X.  Read the owner's guide that comes with your display to ensure it can support the display mode you set in Configure.

Warning: Some vendors claim that you can use their display adapters at display modes with resolutions and refresh rates that exceed what their RAMDACs can support.  You can permanently damage your display adapter and computer by doing this.  Read the owner's guide that comes with your display adapter or contact its manufacturer to ensure that your adapter's RAMDAC can support the display mode you set in Configure.

Warning:  If you plan to change display adapters, be sure to use the Configure application to change the display driver to Default VGA Adapter before you remove the old display adapter (see NeXTanswer 1824 for details on changing display adapters).
