Configuring video adapters
Configuring video adapters and monitors
is the process of connecting new hardware
to your system
and modifying the system software to recognize that hardware.
Two separate activities are required:
-
Physically install the adapter and monitor,
following the instructions in the
hardware documentation.
-
Run the
Video Configuration Manager
to configure the SCO OpenServer video subsystem software.
The video configuration window displays the configured
adapters, monitors, and resolutions,
together with the function (<F>) keys
that are associated with each configured video adapter.
New and modified video adapter drivers are made available periodically.
See the
SCO Certified and Compatible Hardware web page (CHWP)

For the new graphics features and drivers included
with this SCO OpenServer release, see
``Video adapter support''.
This chapter describes how to use the
Video Configuration Manager
to configure video adapters and monitors.
