UTILITIES SUMMARY
=================

SVM.EXE
=======
SVM is a menu-driven program designed to select and test all video modes
available to the adapter.

How To Use SVM
--------------
The SVM program can be executed in either of two ways:  by calling up the
menu and selecting from the menu choices, or by entering the desired mode
directly with a specific command line.

How To Use SVM From The Menu
----------------------------
_ 1.    SWITCH directory to "X:\VGAUTIL" where X is the drive where the
        Utilities have been copied or "X:\DOS_APPS\UTILITY" where X is CD_ROM
        drive with driver CD inside.
_ 2.	TYPE SVM to call up the menu.
The graphics adapter can be run at a selected mode by first selecting the
mode and then pressing ENTER.

How to Use SVM From The Command Line
------------------------------------
The SVM program may be used to select a mode directly from the command line
following two simple steps:
_ 1.    SWITCH directory to "X:\VGAUTIL" where X is the drive where the
        Utilities have been copied or "X:\DOS_APPS\UTILITY" where X is CD_ROM
        drive with driver CD inside.
_ 2.	TYPE in SVM [mode number] and PRESS ENTER.
For example, to run the graphics adapter in mode 62H, the command with 
mode number for item 2 above would be:
	SVM 62 <ENTER>




SMONITOR
========
SMONITOR is designed to set the monitor group and the monitor type:
	Usage: SMONITOR <GROUP|OPTION>


Set Monitor Group
-----------------
The graphics extended modes set by the graphics card's BIOS are sorted
into six groups categorized by the monitor's refresh rate. The group
settings are listed below:

            ----------------------------------------------------------------
            |            Group
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolution  |    0       1       2       3       4       5       6       7
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
640X400     |    70      70      70      70      70      70      70      70
640x480     |    60      72      75      85      85      85      85      85
800x600     |    XX      60      72      75      85      85      85      85
1024x768    |    XX      87i     60      70      75      85      90      95
1280x1024   |    XX      XX      87i     87i     60      60      75      75
1600x1200   |    XX      XX      XX      XX      96i     96i     96i     96i
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTIONS:
C	SET COLOR MONITOR
M	SET MONOCHROME MONITOR
The default group number is 0.  If you want to set the monitor group, TYPE 
"SMONITOR GROUP", where GROUP is one of the group numbers listed above.

Set Monitor Color
-----------------
Switches between color and monochrome display. Some monitors (most notably
Samsung monitors manufactured before 2/8/91) do not adhere to the standard
IBMO pinout definitions, which causes the VGA card to boot up in monochrome
instead of color. This utility may be used to correct the problem.
To set the monitor as color, TYPE "SMONITOR C"; or, TYPE "SMONITOR M" to set
monochrome monitor.




TMONITOR
========
The TMONITOR program allows the adjustment of video display parameters so
that images are optimally sized and centered on the screen. Adjustable
parameters include:
_ Horizontal size and position.
_ Vertical size and position.
_ Vertical pixel frequency (refresh rate).

The program is started from the DOS_APPS prompt by typing in TMONITOR from the
X:\VGAUTIL directory where X is the dirve where the utilities are copied to or
X:\TVGAUTIL\UTILITY directory where X is the CD_ROM drive with drive CD inside.

The first section of the program is used to define a given name for the
adjustments to be made 
_ 1.	PRESS ENTER to add a new monitor entry; then TYPE in
	the name of the manufacturer, and then again PRESS
	ENTER.  The program will allow any name to be typed in.
_ 2.	TYPE in the associated comments for the monitor settings 
	and PRESS ENTER.
_ 3.	A mode table will be displayed, presenting all the adjustable
        modes. 
_ 4.	This table is traversed through the use of the up/down arrow keys. 
        The mode highlighted is the selected mode for adjustment.
_ 5.	SELECT the mode to be adjusted and PRESS ENTER.
_ 6.	SELECT the desired pixel refresh  rate and PRESS ENTER twice.
_ 7.	The screen alignment test pattern will than be displayed. 
	The up/down arrow keys are used to adjust the vertical positioning of 
        the screen.
	The Left/Right arrow keys are used for horizontal alignment
	of the screen.
	The Home/End keys are used for horizontal screen sizing and the
        Page Up/Down keys are used for vertical screen sizing.
	Once the screen position and size is adjusted,
	PRESS ENTER, and then PRESS the ESC key.
_ 8.	To save the settings, TYPE "Y" and PRESS ENTER.
	The program will then modify the CONFIG.SYS file.
_ 9.	At this point, PRESS ESC and REBOOT the system to enable the
        parameter changes.

NOTE:  If you exceed the screen adjustment positions, PRESS the ESC key
to restart from Step 6.
