Monitor<br />

To change the current settings for the monitor, click Change next to the monitor. A<br />

new dialog opens in which to adjust various monitor-specific settings. This dialog has<br />

several tabs for various aspects <strong>of</strong> monitor operation. Select the first tab to manually<br />

select the vendor and model <strong>of</strong> the display device in two lists. If your monitor is not<br />

listed, you can choose one <strong>of</strong> the VESA or LCD modes that suit your needs or, if you<br />

have a vendor driver disk or CD, click Utility Disk and follow the instructions on the<br />

screen to use it. Check Activate DPMS to use display power management signaling.<br />

Display Size, with the geometrical properties <strong>of</strong> the monitor, and Sync Frequencies,<br />

with the ranges for the horizontal and vertical sync frequencies <strong>of</strong> your monitor, are<br />

normally set up correctly by the system, but you can modify these values manually.<br />

After making all adjustments, click OK to close this dialog.<br />

WARNING: Changing Monitor Frequencies<br />

Although there are safety mechanisms, you should still be very careful when<br />

changing the allowed monitor frequencies manually. Incorrect values might<br />

destroy your monitor. You should always refer to the monitor's manual before<br />

changing frequencies.<br />

Resolution and Color Depth<br />

The resolution and color depth can be chosen directly from two lists in the middle <strong>of</strong><br />

the dialog. The resolution you select here marks the highest resolution to use. All<br />

common resolutions down to 640x480 are also added to the configuration automatically.<br />

Depending on the graphical desktop used, you can switch to any <strong>of</strong> these later without<br />

the need for reconfiguration.<br />

Dual Head<br />

If you have a graphics card with two outputs installed in your computer, you can connect<br />

two screens to your system. Two screens that are attached to the same graphics card<br />

are referred to as dual head. SaX2 automatically detects multiple display devices in the<br />

system and prepares the configuration accordingly. To use the dual head mode <strong>of</strong> a<br />

graphics card, check Activate Dual Head Mode at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the dialog and click<br />

Configure to set the dual head options and the arrangement <strong>of</strong> the screens in the dual<br />

head dialog.<br />
