PPC-S153 User's Manual

7.1 Introduction

The PPC-S153 has an onboard AGP flat panel/VGA interface. The

specifications and features are described as follows:

7.1.1 Chipset

The PPC-S153 uses a Lynx 3DM4 SMI 721 chipset from Silicon Motion

Inc. for its AGP/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL,

and gas plasma flat panel displays and conventional analog CRT

monitors. The SMI 721 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL,

color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also

supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and

monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while

maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors

(i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency

(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

7.1.2 Display memory

With onboard 4 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT

displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at

16 M colors.
