Chapter 2 BIOS Setup DMA Resources When you press the "Press Enter" tag, you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to make configuration changes the system DMA channels. This is only configurable when "Resources Controlled By" is set to "Manual". When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel a type, depending on the type on device using the DMA channel. PCI / VGA Palette Snoop Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot information and VGA compatibility. However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write. In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation, you should disable this option. Disabled (default) Disables the function. Enabled Enables the function. Assign IRQ For USB Lets the user choose which IRQ to assign for USB. Assign IRQ For VGA Lets the user choose which IRQ to assign for the VGA. 2-28
