9.3 Using Self-Configuring Display Adapters

   Some display adapters  can change  their configurations  to match  what an
   application tries to  do. For example,  if an  application tries  to use a
   video graphics  adapter (VGA)  configuration and  your display  adapter is
   currently configured as  an extended  graphics adapter (EGA),  the adapter
   can switch from an EGA configuration to  a VGA configuration. This type of
   display adapter makes use of non-maskable  interrupts (NMIs) to change its
   configuration while you work.

   To use this type of  display adapter with Windows  running in 386 enhanced
   mode, you  must  disable  the  NMI  (also  called self-configuring,  auto-
   switching,  or  auto-emulating)  option.   First,  configure  the  display
   adapter, and then disable  the NMI option. For  more information, see your
   display-adapter documentation.
