14" & 17" Low Emission Monitors and
Screen Offset
Users of Apricot 14" (XJ49905) and 17" (XJ49906) low emission
monitors may detect a horizontal shift of the video display area when changing graphics
resolutions. The display is shifted when changing from text mode or 640x480, to 800x600 or
1024x768, when used on system units that utilise the C&T 452 video controller. Apricot
system units that use this video controller are as follows :-
| LANstation 20 |
Qi 900 |
| XEN-LS 386SX-20 |
Qi 486 |
| XEN-LS 486SX-20 |
FTe |
| XEN-LS 486DX2-40 |
FTs |
Users of Eizo 16", 20" & 21" and other
multisync monitors will be aware of this issue and the fact that the monitor output on
these systems was synchronised for use with the Apricot dual sync monitor (XJ44567). This
problem has been addressed on LS Pro and XEN-LS II by adding an extra field into the SETUP
utility (see IPB 4081 for more information), but
this is not possible on the above range of machines.
A DOS based utility is being developed to allow the video controller to
be setup in accordance with the monitor type connected. Until this is available, and for
those whose operating systems do not use the BIOS, manual adjustment of horizontal size
and position is the only solution. |
