Hello, after writing the *BIG* documentation, I discovered that it became too technical for most people. However, I wanted to keep it in for the technically-minded users (and programmers). So, I typed up these quick notes. This is what you should do to use DimVESA: 1. Read this file (to the end). 2. Read ORDER.TXT (this is especially important for business users!) 3. Run DimVESA, without any command line parameters (just run DimVESA alone) 'til later. Alexander C. Eremeef Greater Enhancement Technologies (TM) G.E.T. the Power (TM) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIMVESA.EXE Multi-function screen dimmer/VESA DPMS (Energy Star) supporting screen-saver. DimVESA v3.1 (DOS version) Alexander C. Eremeef, Douglas Boling and Jeff Prosise February 14, 1997 See: DIMMER.DOC for instructions, same parameters apply, except: CTRL-ALT-keypress must be used instead of ALT-keypress, such as the CTRL-ALT-UpArrow combination. This was to prevent conflicts with some programs. New with v3.1 (minor changes): ------------------------------ 1. New switch added ('/R'), use '/R' or '/R+' (both have the same effect) if your graphics card doesn't support VESA DPMS directly, and you are using a driver such as SDD to simulate VESA extensions. 2. The documentation has been revised slightly. New with v3.0: -------------- 1. I've added an interactive mode. Simply run DimVESA from the command line, and answer its questions. You don't have to understand the command-line options anymore, in order to use DimVESA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
