This READ.ME file contains a description of the XGASETUP.EXE utility and how to use it.
o If your system has 0.5MB of video memory (only 4 Video Ram modules
installed), you can choose to operate at either:
- high resolution (1024x768 pixels) with the ability
to display up to 16 colors simultaneously, but
without the ability to use antialiased text,
OR
- medium resolution (640x480 pixels) with the ability
to display up to 256 colors simultaneously, and the
ability to use antialiased text.
If your system has 0.5MB of video memory, the first time you start OS/2, high
resolution (1024x768 pixels) with 16 colors is selected. You can change to
medium resolution (640x480 pixels) with 256 colors by running the XGASETUP
program, as follows:
If you are using OS/2 1.2:
(1) In the OS/2 Desktop Manager, select Screen Setup.
(2) In the the Screen Setup group, run Screen Configuration, which lets you
change screen resolution options.
If you are using OS/2 1.3:
(1) Select OS/2 Full Screen
(2) Insert the XGA Device Drivers Diskette 2 in drive A
(3) Type a:xgasetup and press the Enter key
If you do not know how much video memory you have, you can run the XGASETUP
program as described above to see if there are any options available to you.
Option choice depends on the type of application programs you use. High
resolution lets you get more information on the screen, but colors are limited
to 16. Choose this configuration if your applications do not use more than 16
colors. If more than 16 displayed colors is important, for example to better
match color images, or you want to use antialiased text, select medium
resolution with 256 colors. Note that the XGASETUP program can be run at any
time, so you can change the mode setting as you prefer.
