Graphics Driver
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is
compatible with your computer’s graphics adapter. Compaq has created a
Universal Driver Manager (UDM) release that suppo rts all Compaq QVision,
S3, Cirrus Logic, and Matrox graphics adapters found on Compaq products.
The UDM eases graphic driver deployment across Compaq platforms,
ensuring cross-compatibility and backward-compatibility. The resulting
solution lets you manage and control ongoing software maintenance costs. The
UDM is available on the Support Software CD for Compaq products and the
