- ABSTRACT The IBM Personal System/2 (R) (PS/2 (R)) XGA (R)-2 Display
- Adapter/A provides additional function and significant performance
- improvements over the existing IBM XGA Display Adapter/A. In some
- cases, specific operations have been improved as much as 32 times (1)
- that of the XGA Display Adapter. Performance improvements measured
- at the application level are up to 2.5 times that of the XGA Display
- Adapter.
- New higher screen refresh rate and non-interlaced scanning
- enhance ergonomic benefits to the customer in the form of "flicker
- free" (2) performance even at high resolution (1024 x 768). The
- XGA-2 Display Adapter/A also offers enhanced color features, support
- for the new IBM 95XX and existing 85XX monitors, and conforms with
- new industry and government standards, such as International
- Standards Organization (ISO) standard 9241/3 (refer to Product
- Announcement 192-221, dated September 21, 1992).
- As a result of IBM's continued commitment to improve product
- reliability, the new XGA-2 Display/A comes with a three year
- warranty. However, an optional one year warranty is available via
- special bid.
- Planned Availability Date: September 21, 1992.

- OVERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
- o System usability enhanced by new non-interlaced monitor operation
- and higher monitor refresh rate (up to 75Hz).
- o In some cases, application level performance increased up to 2.5
- times by improved display adapter and device driver performance.
- o User application growth potential further enabled with increased
- standard video memory, support for new monitor standards, and
- updated application drivers.
- o Customer investment protected by compatibility with existing
- display adapters, monitors, and applications.
- DESCRIPTION
- USER PRODUCTIVITY
- ERGONOMIC DESIGN AND SCREEN FLICKER: Today's widespread move to
- applications based on graphical user interfaces and higher screen
- resolutions places greater demands on the ergonomic design of visual
- subsystems. High resolution graphics modes and white screen
- backgrounds can promote more noticeable screen flicker, a condition
- that may affect user productivity. Flicker, however, can be reduced
- by increasing the screen refresh rate--the number of times per second
- that the screen image is redrawn. Flicker can also be reduced by
- non-interlaced scanning--or drawing the whole screen image in one
- pass. Reducing screen flicker can improve user productivity.
- The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A supports higher refresh
- rates up to 75Hz for use with appropriate monitors. Also, the XGA-2
- Display Adapter/A now supports non-interlaced scanning in 1024 x 768
- mode. Higher refresh rates and non-interlaced scanning combine to
- enhance ergonomic benefits to the customer in the form of enhanced
- usability and potential productivity gains.
- PERFORMANCE: The IBM PS/2 XGA Display Adapter/A set a new standard
- for high performance video subsystems, providing the high-performance
- graphics and high screen content demanded by graphical user
- interfaces in Operating System/2 (R) (OS/2 (R)) Presentation Manager
- (R), Microsoft Windows, AIX (R) and other environments. Optimized
- for windowing and high resolution performance, XGA features:
- o Faster VGA
- o Dual-port video memory (VRAM)
- o Bus mastering
- o Drawing acceleration (coprocessor)
- o Hardware cursor (sprite)
- o Application device drivers.
- The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A further enhances the performance
- benefits of several of the key features. Performance of the XGA-2
- Display Adapter/A advanced function modes is over twice the
- performance at the application level, due to faster VRAMs, memory
- controller redesign, improved busmastering, more efficient
- coprocessor polling, and significant tuning of the device drivers.
- Also, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides full coprocessor support for
- direct color mode, allowing customers the benefit of 640 x 480
- resolution with 65,536 colors at a performance level comparable to
- XGA 640 x 480 with 256 colors.
- (R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines
- Corporation.
- CLARITY AND READABILITY: The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
- provides improved 132 column text support. While the adapter still
- supports the 8-pixel character resolutions of XGA Display Adapter/A,
- it also provide a 9-pixel character resolutions of 1188 x 200, 1188 x
- 350, and 1188 x 400. This will further improve the clarity and
- readability of the text.
- GROWTH ENABLEMENT
- COLOR ENHANCEMENTS: The announcement of XGA Display Adapter/A
- enabled customers to take advantage of an increasing number of
- applications with graphical user interfaces, higher screen content,
- and more colors. XGA Display Adapter/A was upgradeable to 640 x 480
- with 65,536 colors and 1024 x 768 with 256 colors by means of an
- extra-charge memory feature, the PS/2 Video Memory Expansion Option.
- Displaying up to 65,536 colors at once (16-bit color mode) can yield
- a high-color, lifelike display of scanned or captured color images.
- The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides the same capabilities with 1MB
- of VRAM on the standard adapter for no additional charge. And 16-bit
- color mode is now supported by OS/2 and Windows device drivers.
- The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A also features 8-bit
- digital-to-analog converters (DACs), versus the 6-bit DACs used by
- XGA Display Adapter. With 8-bit DACs, the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
- now supports a palette of 16.7 million possible color combinations of
- which 256 can be displayed at any one time. (the XGA Display Adapter
- allows 256 of a possible 262,144 colors.) Similarly, the XGA-2
- Display Adapter/A provides 256 possible shades of grey, compared with
- XGA Display Adapter's 64 shades.
- ERGONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS -- STANDARDS: With the
- XGA-2 Display Adapter/A, customers have a growth path to current and
- new applications that use enhanced-color modes. The XGA-2 Display
- Adapter/A and the new 95XX family of monitors are designed to meet
- stringent ergonomic and environmental requirements of emerging
- international standards, such as the International Standards
- Organization (ISO). The new adapter card and monitors provide
- customers the means of meeting governmental requirements where
- applicable, as well as deriving the benefits of front-of-screen
- usability features such as...
- o Stable screen image
- o ISO conforming fonts
- o ISO conforming software support
- o Quality system design.
- The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A can also be used with non-IBM
- monitors conforming with Video Electronics Standards Association
- (VESA) specifications for...
- o VGA (640 x 480) mode at 72Hz non-interlaced
- o SVGA (800 x 600) mode at 72Hz non-interlaced
- o XGA (1024 x 768) mode at 70Hz non-interlaced.
- To enable customers to take advantage of the XGA-2 enhanced
- features, new versions of video device drivers are provided,
- including IBM OS/2 1.3 and 2.0, IBM AIX PS/2 1.3, IBM DOS, Microsoft
- (3) Windows (4) 3.0 and 3.1, and AutoCAD (5) 10 and 11.

- INVESTMENT PROTECTION
- As an extension to the XGA architecture, the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
- provides all the function and support provided by the existing XGA
- Display Adapter/A for monitor products. In addition, the XGA-2
- Display Adapter/A supports other industry resolutions, such as, the
- VESA standard of 800 x 600 with 64K colors. Customers, therefore,
- are assured of continued use of existing 85XX monitors and
- applications as well as benefit from the enhanced features of the
- XGA-2 Display Adapter/A and new 95XX monitors. Refer to the
- Specified Operating Environment section for complete information on
- monitor support.
- All applications that were supported on the XGA Display
- Adapter/A run unchanged on XGA-2 Display Adapter/A (assuming the
- applications followed the XGA technical Reference Guidelines and the
- customer is using an 85XX monitor). This includes applications
- written to the application program interface (API) of DOS, OS/2 PM,
- Microsoft Windows, and AutoCAD. A variety of XGA-compatible
- applications provided by vendors also support the XGA-2 Display
- Adapter/A. Refer to the Specified Operating Environment section for
- more information on application support.
- Significant performance improvements have been made to the
- device drivers provided for the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A. These
- drivers have been designed to maintain downward compatibility with
- the XGA Display Adapter/A. This will allow existing customers to
- enjoy some of the performance improvements provided for the XGA-2
- Display Adapter/A.
- SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
- The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A has been designed to reduced the
- complexity and therefore cost of systems management.
- The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A has a programmable PEL clock
- generator, and as such it does not have any fixed resolutions or
- modes. The resolutions available are depend on the display attached
- rather than a function of the adapter card. The XGA-2 Display
- Adapter/A is also easier to configure. The EPROM is now relocatable
- and the 1MB aperture can be disabled. In addition, the device
- drivers are modified to support Display Mode Query and Set (DMQS), a
- comprehensive new method for identifying monitors and display adapter
- characteristics.
- The combinations of these features provide a new flexibility
- for system configuration and inventory management of displays and
- graphics adapter cards.
- PRODUCT POSITIONING
- The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides a superset of function
- and more than twice the performance of the existing IBM XGA Display
- Adapter/A at a reduced price. New higher screen refresh rate (75Hz)
- and noninterlaced scanning enhance ergonomic benefits to the customer
- in the form of reduced flicker at high resolution (1024 X 768).
- XGA-2 Display Adapter/A also offers enhanced color features, support
- for new 95XX monitors, and conforms with new industry and government
- standards. The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is intended to replace the
- XGA Display Adapter/A.

- The software supplied with the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
- automatically exploits IBM 85XX and 95XX monitors at the best
- resolution and refresh rate possible for the monitor attached.
- Supported resolutions detailed above that are not available on
- IBM displays, are available with some non-IBM (OEM) displays. These
- displays range in capability from low cost/low function to high
- cost/high function. Most of these displays respond as an IBM 8514
- display when queried by the software supplied with the XGA-2
- subsystem. As a result, IBM 8514 resolutions and refresh rates are
- used as default.
- The software supplied with the IBM XGA-2 Display Adapter/A,
- allows the user to override the default screen resolution.
- Overriding with a resolution which does not meet (or exceeds) the

- COMPATIBILITY:
- Hardware Compatibility -- While providing additional
- capabilities, the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is fully compatible with
- the XGA Display Adapter/A. (Refer to the PS/2 Hardware Interface
- Technical Reference -- Video Subsystem, S42G-2193-00, for additional
- information.)
- In VGA mode, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is fully compatible with
- XGA Display Adapter/A. No application modifications are required.
- In 132 column text mode, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A supports the
- same 8-pixel characters and resolutions (1056x200, 1056x350,
- 1056x400) as XGA. In addition, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A provides
- 9-pixel characters with resolutions of 1188x200, 1188x350, and
- 1188x400. 132 column text mode can be displayed with either ISO or
- non-ISO refresh rates, but should be invoked only when the attached
- monitor can accept the appropriate video rates. Refer to the Display
- Units Supported section for details on video rates.
- IBM recommends that applications developers use the BIOS mode
- 14h call to invoke 132 column text mode to ensure future
- compatibility. Applications written to XGA hardware for 132 column
- support (1056 PELS) will also get 1056 PELS with XGA-2 hardware.
- Applications written to BIOS mode 14h will get 1056 PEL on XGA
- hardware and 1188 PELS on XGA-2 hardware.
- In extended graphics mode, XGA-2 Display Adapter/A supports
- all the same functions as the XGA Display Adapter/A and provides the
- following additional capabilities:
- o Enhanced coprocessor support for 16-bit direct color mode.
- o Enhanced DACs for expanded color selection.
- Application modifications may be required depending on the
- type of monitor attached (refer to the Software Compatibility
- section).
- Software Compatibility
- OS/2 V1.3 Environment

- The following XGA device drivers will provide XGA function
- when used with XGA-2 Display Adapter/A and existing PS/2 85XX
- monitors:
- o OS/2 1.3 Presentation Manager XGA device driver (requires
- installation of CSD # XR05100 for OS/2 SE v1.3 or CSD # WR05100
- for OS/2 EE v1.3)
- o OS/2 2.00 Presentation Manager XGA device driver
- o Microsoft Windows 3.0 XGA device driver
- o AutoCAD release 10 XGA device driver.
- No application or driver modifications are required for
- extended graphics mode on existing PS/2 monitors. Support of new
- 95XX monitors, however, requires modification to applications and
- device drivers to implement Display Mode Query and Set (DMQS), a
- comprehensive new method for identifying monitor and display adapter
- characteristics. DMQS better enables applications and drivers to
- maintain compatibility with changes in adapter and monitor products.
- (Refer to the PS/2 Video Subsystem Technical Reference, S42G-2193-00,
- for additional information.)
- IBM recommends that XGA-2 applications be written to the API's
- of O/S 2 Presentation Manager and Microsoft Windows rather than to
- the XGA-2 hardware registers or the XGA-2 DOS AI. If writing to the
- hardware registers, consult the PS/2 XGA Adapter Interface Technical
- Reference, S15F-2154-00, to ensure XGA/XGA-2 register compatibility.
- The XGA-2 DOS AI does not support 132 column text mode or direct
- color mode.
