1. Why it need?
21
---------------------
22
The problem of "60 Hz" is falling stand before of users of MeOS in modern condisions.
23
As a rule, most modern computers consist of 17" monitor (all written later is not actual
24
for owners of LCD monitors). If on 14" or 15" monitors the problem of "60 Hz" not a
25
main, but with 17" monitor it's a most pantfull. And with more size monitors I have no
26
words for discusion: it's a slade-show. Of couse, all of the upper correlated with
27
standart interface of VESA. As for VESA 3.0 - yes, interface have more rich features,
28
but it have no possiblity of change videomode in protect mode (the Virtual86 not realized
29
in MeOS !!!!!).
30
 
31
The MeOS not known as a detected devices on boot, it setting of standard VESA videomode
32
with 60 Hz vertical refrash rate !
33
 
34
This programm  is a FreeWare. And distribute "AS IS ...". Author not
35
carreing responsibility for probable damage  :) .

! On this time programm have a EXPERIMENTAL status (!). And this reason you have a   !
40
! chance destroy own device (monitor). Espesialy this taking attantionall users with !
41
! monitor without of rate protection.                                                !

2. Installation.
47
-----------------
48
Extract file VRR (it's ordinary executed MeOS file) from archive and situated it on
49
C:\ root or MeOS floppy. In main, VRR may situated on any directory (you must have
50
possibility run this file under MeOS).
51
 
52
 
53
3. Using.
54
----------
55
The VRR is a standard executed file of Menuet Operation System. You may send on
56
execute this file by SYSTREE or MASH.
57
 
58
After redraw of programm window will be present of current vertical refrash rate
59
and table with possibiling videoregimes. It's sorrably, table have VERY small
60
videomode (the programm is experimental).
61
 
62
   Change of videomode
63
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
64
You may select interesting videomode using _ONLY_ numerical keys: 1,2,3,4 and 5.
65
In a first step you must select resolution of videoregime. In a second step - need
66
select of vertical refresh rate. All changes are indicated on screen in a the
67
programm window. After select videomode, to set mode you must press "Enter" or
68
button "Ok". Notification: in this time all executing MeOS programs will be
69
killing. It this needed for minimize artefacts of the screen. After change videomode
70
you have a two way. First way: you can not any doing and after 13 seconds waiting
71
return last videomode. Second way: press two-three time any key or some time mouse
72
click on artefacts of VRR (or this plase) and fixing selected mode. Also you have
73
possibility modification of horizontal screen size by button "Left"\"Right" or keys
74
"+\-". For correcting your select you may use button "Cancel".
75
 
76
Also in programm realized return at initial videomode with 60 Hz vertical refresh
77
by button "Default". And you may return in last videomode by button "Return" or
78
key "r"
79
 
80
Note:
81
~~~~~~
82
In this time programm may change vertical refresh rate _ONLY_ by lowing screen
83
resolution, because this method will be using at most part videocard
84
(VGA, SVGA or modern)
85
 
86
Example:
87
If you have videomode 1024x768x60Hz and if you want select 800x600x95Hz, you must
88
press key "3" and key "1". After that key "Enter" or button "Ok". And after redraw
89
screen two time click on last program window position. If need using button
90
"Left\Right" for correcting horizontal size.
