Centering Adjust
Centering is available while in Video Modes Preview (only for extended Graphics modes 58H and
greater). While previewing a video mode, you have the option of using the arrow keys to adjust
your screen accordingly. The screen adjustments have predefined limits. When you enter the
Preview mode, you may find that the right side adjustment has already been reached. Once a mode
has been adjusted, the new values for horizontal and/or vertical positioning are saved within CLMode.
CLMode prompts on whether you want to save these new parameters to the TSR (CENTER.COM).
The values used for the adjusted modes are stored in CENTER.COM on exit. CENTER.COM can
then be loaded outside of CLMode. Now all of the modes which you have adjusted are the active
modes set when that mode request is made. Centering is not allowed if CENTER.COM has been
loaded. You must unload CENTER.COM before attempting to save new adjustments.
You may only adjust and save 16 modes at a time to CENTER.COM. The information in the main
window displays the VGA controller type, the BIOS version number, and the amount of video
memory present.
Getting Help
Selecting the Help button from the main window displays instructions on using CLMode.
Information About CLMode
Selecting the About button displays version and copyright information about CLMode.
Undoing Changes
To return all settings to their state when CLMode was started, select the Undo button.
Exiting CLMode
To exit CLMode at any time, press the <Alt> and <F4> keys simultaneously, or click on the system
button of the main window (i.e., the top left corner button of the window which is shown as a dot),
or select the Exit button.
CLMode asks if the changes should be saved in the AUTOEXEC.BAT. In most cases, you should
answer Yes. Answering No means that the next time the computer is booted, all of CLMode’s
configuration information is lost.
When the CLMode utility exits, the currently selected monitor brand, model, timings and centering
information are saved. The current monitor timings are displayed.
Using CLMode’s Command Line Options
When command line options for CLMODE.EXE are given at the DOS prompt, the menu-driven
windows are not displayed. Instead, configuration, monitor type, video mode and refresh rate are
set at the DOS prompt.
