Configuring the Video Display
The first time you start the system, it uses the installed video display adapter running at 1024 x 768
to run the video display. For the system to use the installed video adapter at other display
resolutions, you must configure the video display driver. Refer to the documentation delivered
with the video display adapter for information about available settings. For information on using
the Display Properties dialog, refer to the operating system documentation and Help.
Changing the Default Video Display Driver
After configuring the video display and restarting the system, you should configure the system to
use the Intergraph video display driver by default.
To change the default video display driver:
1.
Open System in the Windows NT Control Panel. The System dialog displays.
2.
Under Operating System, select the Startup list; then select the appropriate non-VGA
Windows NT Server option from the displayed list.
3.
Select OK.
