IMPORTANT
If you are using a multifrequency monitor, you may need a special 15-pin PS/2
compatible adapter cable. Make sure that your multifrequency monitor is
configured properly for a PS/2 compatible analog VGA signal.
Some multifrequency displays have a switch to select ‘TTL’ or ‘analog’
operation; set this switch for ‘analog’. Check the manual which came with your
monitor for additional information on configuring it.
Utility Software
This section describes the utility programs which are supplied with your VGA and how to use
them.
CLMode is a program which may be used to configure the various options of your 5446 VGA.
CLMode is the DOS refresh utility used to increase the vertical refresh rate.
WinMode lets you change the operating resolution and the number of colors from within Win-
dows.
CLMODE
The CLMode utility allows you to define the type of monitor attached to your system, set the video
mode timings supported by the 5446 VGA and preview them.
Note: To use a mouse, a mouse driver should be installed prior to running the CLMode utility.
Using CLMode’s Graphic Interface
CLMode requires that your processor have 300KB of standard memory and 3MB of extended or
expanded memory available for it to run.
At the DOS prompt, type:
CD \VGAUTIL
<Enter>
CLMODE
<Enter>
When CLMode starts, the screen is blank for a short time. During this time, CLMode is attempting
to identify the monitor’s capabilities using the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC). In its graphics
mode, CLMode looks and works just like a Windows application.
Select and configure the monitor that you connected to the graphics adapter. Use the drop-down
boxes or press the <Tab> key until the Monitor Brand field is highlighted.
