If you do not have a PCI adapter installed in your
system, go to Step 4.
The Video Configuration Manager
automatically detects PCI adapters and
presents any detected adapters on the graphics adapter
list instead of the complete list
of supported adapters.
To configure a
PCI adapter, select it from the list and
continue.
To configure an adapter not
on the PCI autodetected list,
click on the Configure adapter not listed above
button and continue with the configuration process.
-
When the graphics adapter list displays,
select the graphics adapter
that you want to configure,
then click on OK.
The displayed list includes all of the
supported adapters and adapter chip sets.
Use the scroll bar to move up and down in the list;
in character mode, type the first letter of
the adapter's manufacturer.
-
Add a monitor to the new adapter configuration by
selecting ``Monitor Not Configured'',
then clicking on Monitor.
-
When the monitor list displays,
select the new monitor,
then click on OK.
The monitor list includes all the
monitors supported for use on your SCO OpenServer system.
Use the scroll bar to move up and down in the list;
in character mode, type the first letter of
the monitor's manufacturer.
For more information, see
``Changing the configured video monitor''.
-
Specify a resolution by
selecting ``Resolution Not Configured'',
then clicking on Resolution.
-
Select the new resolution
in the Resolution Selection window,
then click on OK.
For more information, see

WARNING:
Ensure that the resolution you select is appropriate for your
monitor; see
``Understanding resolutions''
for more information.
-
Assign one or more console function (<F>) keys
to the adapter/monitor/resolution combination.
This creates a link between
the particular graphics adapter, monitor, and resolution,
and the assigned function key, as described in
``Function keys and video configuration''
-
To assign all function keys to
the selected monitor and resolution,
select Assign all function keys,
then click on OK.
This is the option most users choose.
-
To
assign specific function keys
to the current adapter, monitor, and resolution,
select Specify function keys,
then click on OK.

To use
multiple monitors simultaneously,
select
``Multi-monitor configuration - specify function keys''
Some adapters require additional configuration information.
For example, the Number Nine GXi adapter requires an
I/O address.
If you are prompted for additional configuration information
specific to your graphics adapter,
see your adapter's documentation.
