video mode and VGA (640-by-480) with 65536 colors.

A 1024-by-768 resolution video at maximum can be produced on
any attached external display that supports the resolution mode.

When you use the 755CX SVGA
model and set the display mode to
Both:
Do not attach the external
display that supports only VGA
mode (640-by-480 resolution) to
the computer. Otherwise, the
screen of the external display is
disordered and the output is not
displayed.
The screen image on the
external display may appear
smaller than the actual display
size when you use the DOS
application that supports only
VGA mode.
When you attach an external display, do the following:
1. Change the display mode to CRT or Both. (See “Changing the
Display Mode” on page 166.)
2. Set your monitor type and display device driver. (See “Setting
the Monitor Type and the Display Driver” on page 167.)
3. Attach the external display to the computer. (See “Connecting
the External Display to the Computer” on page 169.)
