The Video Graphics Array (VGA) connector is a standard connector used for computer video output. Originating with the 1987 IBM PS/2 and its VGA graphics system, the 15-pin connector went on to become ubiquitous on PCs, [1] as well as many monitors, projectors and HD television sets.
VGA section on the motherboard in IBM PS/55. The color palette random access memory (RAM) and its corresponding digital-to-analog converter (DAC) were integrated into one chip (the RAMDAC) and the cathode-ray tube controller was integrated into a main VGA chip, which eliminated several other chips in previous graphics adapters, so VGA only additionally required external video RAM and timing ...
Drivers without freely (and legally) -available source code are commonly known as binary drivers. Binary drivers used in the context of operating systems that are prone to ongoing development and change (such as Linux) create problems for end users and package maintainers. These problems, which affect system stability, security and performance ...
One of the limitations of WDDM driver model version 1.0 is that it does not support multiple drivers in a multi-adapter, multi-monitor setup. If a multi-monitor system has more than one graphics adapter powering the monitors, both the adaptors must use the same WDDM driver. If more than one driver is used, Windows will disable one of them.

Register-compatible with VGA [3] Adds a 132 column text mode and high color in 640 × 480 [3] Requires a minimum of 80386 host CPU [3] Provides a 3-dimensional drawing space called a "bitmap" which may reside anywhere in system memory [3] Adds a sprite for a hardware cursor [3] The Adapter Interface driver is moved to a .SYS file instead of TSR ...
Display Data Channel (DDC) is a collection of protocols for digital communication between a computer display and a graphics adapter that enable the display to communicate its supported display modes to the adapter and that enable the computer host to adjust monitor parameters, such as brightness and contrast.
Such cards, when equipped with only a VGA connector adapter cable, cannot be connected to a monitor with only a DVI-D input. A DMS-59 to DVI adapter cable needs to be used with such monitors. The DMS-59 connector is derived from the LFH-60 Molex low-force helix connector, which could be found in some earlier graphics cards.
A Paradise ISA-bus VGA card from 1989 Paradise Systems PPC1 38302C on the motherboard of the Commodore PC30-III. Paradise Systems, Inc., was founded in San Francisco, California, by Paul Jain in 1982. [1] A privately held company, Paradise was tightly knit in its first few years and had a team of seasoned electrical engineers as its base of ...
