Independent Mode allows two displays to work independently and separately, which is a
very common multi-display conguration in Windows 2000 and XP. Each Display needs
to be set up separately.
Stretched Mode is where two displays, connected to the same card and running at
the same resolution, are combined into one wide screen desktop. This conguration is
usually used in Windows NT4.0.
Note: Four displays that are connected to two cards cannot be combined into one wide
screen desktop.

Grayscale Modes
About color modes
The following modes are available:
8 bit Grayscale (256 shades of gray)
• Fixed linear gray palette (default)
• Fixed non-linear gray palette
• Programmable gray palette (not recommended)
Color
• 32 bit color mode
• 16 bit color (not recommended)
• 8 bit color (not recommended)
Note:
• The unrecommended modes do not support 8 bit grayscale (256 shades of gray).
• See the table below for the names of color modes in different operating systems.
Windows 2000 Windows XP Windows NT
32 bit Color True Color Highest (32 bit) True Color
16 bit Color High Color Medium (16 bit) High Color
8 bit Color 256 Colors Low (8 bit) 256 Colors
Use 32 bit color for color displays.
8 bit grayscale and 32 bit color are available for monochrome displays. We recommend
xed linear gray palette or xed non-linear gray palette if you prioritize drawing speed.
To avoid color palette-related problems in a multi-display setup that includes a color
display, use 32 bit color. Please note, however, the drawing speed in 32 bit color mode
may be slower than in gray palette modes. When used in combination with certain
applications (viewers), the drawing speed may become much slower.
The 32 bit color mode is recommended for multi gradation display with the use of certain
applications (viewers) or when using OpenGL.

Windows 2000/XP/NT4.0 (SP6)
How many displays can this card take?
2 displays per graphics card
In Windows 2000/XP : Up to 4 displays on 2 cards guaranteed
In Windows NT4.0 (SP6): Up to 2 displays on 1 card guaranteed
What are the supporting TOTOKU displays?
LV32P1: ME315L, CCL316, ME351i, CCL350i, ME355i2, CCL352i2
LV52P1: ME511L, ME551i2
Note: Two different models cannot be connected to the same card for a multi-display
setup.
What are the supported resolutions?
5MP (2048 x 5260, 2560 x 2048): LV52P1 + ME511L/ME551i2
3MP (1536 x 2048, 2048 x 1536): LV32P1 + ME315L/CCL316/ME351i/CCL350i/
ME355i2/CCL352i2
Is the multi-display setup possible using multiple graphics cards?
Yes, in Windows 2000/XP. However, we do not guarantee proper operation of this
card with any other graphics card(s).
Is this card (64bit PCI card) compatible with a 32bit PCI slot?
Yes, though we recommend a 64bit/66MHz PCI slot. It is technically possible as long
as the 32bit PCI slot accepts this card. Also make sure that there is enough room
inside the computer for the 190mm x 107mm card.
Would the drawing speed the same between 64bit/66MHz and 32bit/32MHz PCI slots?
No. A 64bit/66MHz PCI slot is capable of transfering data at twice the speed of a
32bit/32MHz PCI slot. Please note that the data transfer speed of a 64bit/66MHz PCI
slot is as fast as a 32bit/32MHz PCI slot.
Is this card compatible with OpenGL?
Yes, when set to 32 bit color (and 16 bit color). However, there are some restrictions.
Please check the performance on your system. OpenGL is not supported in any 8 bit mode.
Installation
Which display driver should I use?
Use the supplied driver or the designated customized driver for TOTOKU displays. We
do not guarantee proper operation when other display drivers are used.
The VGA boot screen (POST) does not appear.
Check for the followings:
• The display is not turned on, or the signal cable is not connected properly.
• The display is not connected to the right card: output is from the on-board VGA
adapter or another graphics card.
• The system BIOS's VGA Boot setting is either "AGP primary" or "on-board VGA primary."

- 18 -
ENGLISH
• Another graphics card including the on-board VGA is conicting.
• The display is not connected to DVI Connector A on this card.
Can I reinstall the display driver by overwriting?
No. Make sure to uninstall an existing driver before updating it or when adding/
removing cards, or changing slots, and reinstall it.
(Prior to driver installation) The Windows startup screen doesn't look right: it is plain
white screen or it shows horizontal misalignment.
Restart the computer in VGA mode.
The new graphics card doesn't get recognized as new hardware.
Check for the followings:
• The graphics card is not inserted all the way in the slot.
• The display driver may be installed already. Uninstall the existing driver before
installing the latest one.
• Another graphics card may be conicting. Remove it to see if the problem resolves.
• Check Device Manager. If the Other devices section shows "[!] Video Controller (VGA
compatible)," the graphics card is detected. Install it from there.
• Windows NT does not detect new hardware by plug-and-play.
I can't install the display driver because the graphics card doesn’t get recognized.
Conrm that the card is inserted all the way in the slot. Make sure the card and/or the
display driver is correct. If another graphics card coexists, remove it.
I can't install the display driver when another graphics card is installed.
Remove another card once, insert this card (2 cards max.), install and set up the
display driver. Now remove this card, insert another card in another slot, install and
set up a display driver. Put this card back into the slot where it was inserted.
My computer freezes at the Windows startup screen when restarting after the driver is
installed.
This happens when another graphics card coexists. Remove another card once, insert
this card (2 cards max.), install and set up the display driver. Now remove this card,
insert another card in another slot, install and set up a display driver. Put this card
back into the slot where it was inserted.
The screen blanks out at the Windows startup screen when restarting after the driver
is installed.
This happens when the old driver (Ver. 1.4.x.x) is used on LV32P1 (Rev. E and later)
or LV52P1 (Rev. D). Use a driver version 1.5.x.x or later.
My computer freezes at the Windows startup screen when I try to add another card
after setting up this card.
Remove this card once. Insert another card in another slot, install and set up a driver
for it, and put this card back into the slot where it was inserted.
The display goes blank momentarily during driver installation.
Wait for a while.
