as video device drivers. These device drivers provide support for greater speed, higher resolution, more available colors, and flicker-free images. Device drivers for the integrated graphics subsystem and a README file with instructions for installing the device drivers are preinstalled on models with preinstalled operating systems. If your computer has IBM-preinstalled software, video device drivers have already been installed on the hard disk. If your computer did not come with a preinstalled operating system, you can download device drivers from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web. See "Chapter 7.

To minimize screen flicker and jitter, set your monitor for the highest noninterlaced refresh rate that the monitor supports. If your monitor complies with the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard, it is probably already set to the highest refresh rate that the monitor and video controller can support. If you are not sure if your monitor is DDC-compliant, refer to the documentation provided with the monitor.
