Wake on Ring
The Wake on Ring feature can be used to turn on your computer when a
Wake on Ring supported modem receives a call from the telephone line to
which it is connected. This feature is configured using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Using video features
Your computer has an integrated super video graphics array (SVGA)
graphics controller with 4 MB of SDRAM video cache memory. This
controller is located on the system board. SVGA is a video standard for
displaying text and graphic images on a monitor screen. Like other video
standards, SVGA supports a variety of video modes. Video modes are
different combinations of resolution, refresh rate, and color defined by a
video standard for displaying text or graphics. For more information on
video modes, refer to Understanding Your Personal Computer (provided on
the Software Selections CD that comes with your computer).
Video device drivers
To take full advantage of the graphics adapter in your computer, some
operating systems and application programs require custom software,
known as video device drivers. These device drivers provide support for
greater speed, higher resolution, more available colors, and flicker-free
images.
Device drivers for the integrated graphics subsystem and a README file
with instructions for installing the device drivers are provided on the
Software Selections CD that comes with your computer. If your computer
has IBM-preinstalled software, video device drivers have already been
installed on the hard disk. However, you can use the device driver
installation instructions if you ever need to reinstall the device drivers or if
you need information on obtaining and installing updated device drivers.
