Using the 
VGA 
Utilities
Your hard disk drive contains special VGA (video graphics array)
drivers and utilities for your computer’s built-in VGA controller.
This chapter describes how to install and use these drivers and
utilities.
Note
You need to install the drivers only if you plan to use an
external VGA or SVGA monitor. Your LCD screen, which
provides a VGA resolution of 640 x 480 with 32 shades of gray,
does not require a driver.
Because software programs can run on different types of display
adapters with different types of monitors, the VGA drivers
identify your display adapter and monitor for the software. These
drivers are files your software uses to communicate with your
display adapter and monitor.
A utility is a program that supports the processes of a computer.
The VGACONF utility allows you to change the system’s default
graphic configuration and enhance your system operation by
setting various video modes.
The ActionNote’s built-in VGA adapter is 100% compatible with
IBM
® 
VGA. This adapter allows you to use the computer with
Epson VGA monitors, other brands of VGA monitors, and
VGA-compatible, multifrequency monitors that use analog input.
The drivers and utilities described in this chapter work with any of
these monitors.
