Monitor Problems
Action
Screen flickers.
Set the monitor for the highest, noninterlaced refresh
rate supported by your monitor and the video
controller in your computer. For more information, see
the documentation supplied with your monitor and the
README files for the S3 Incorporated Trio3D.
Attention:
Using a resolution or refresh rate that is
not supported by your monitor might damage it.
You can reset the refresh rate through your operating
system, using the instructions provided in the
README files. See your operating system
documentation for further information on monitor
settings.
If this does not correct the problem, have the monitor
and computer serviced.
The monitor works when
you turn on the system,
but goes blank when you
start some application
programs.
Verify that:
1. The monitor signal cable is securely connected to
the monitor and the monitor connector on the
graphics adapter. For the location of the monitor
connector on the graphics adapter installed in your
computer, see “Connecting Computer Cables” on
page 10.
2. The necessary device drivers for the application
programs are installed.
If the problem cannot be corrected, have the monitor
and computer serviced.
The monitor works when
you turn on the system,
but goes blank after
some period of computer
inactivity.
The computer is probably set for energy savings with
the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature. If
the APM feature is enabled, disabling APM or
changing APM settings might solve the problem (see
“Power–Management Features” on page 41).
If the problem cannot be corrected, have the computer
serviced.

3. The monitor signal cable is securely connected to
the monitor and the monitor connector on the
system board. To find the monitor connector on
the system board, see “Connecting Computer
Cables” on page 10.
If the problem cannot be corrected, have the monitor
