How to full fill the LCD screen under Windows 95
Solution:
Due to the characteristic of LCD, display may not full fill the screen if you just set the display resolution lower than LCD's resolution. For example, if you set the display resolution to 800x600 on PPC-140, the LCD will be filled partially. If you wish to fill the whole screen, you can change it in driver as following. 1.Download the 2.4.5 or later driver from C&T's web site (www.chips.com). 2.Install the driver as you would any other CHIPS Win95 display driver. 3.In your Windows system directory, there is a file called chipsdsp.dat. Open the chipsdsp.dat with your favorite ASCII text editor. 4.Look for a line that contains ";HideStretchScreen=0" in chipsdsp.dat. Notice that there is a semicolon in the beginning of the line, disabling the stretch feature. 5.Remove the semicolon and save the file. 6.In the CHIPS tab of the display properties sheet, there will be a new check box labeled "Stretch Screen". Enabling stretch will cause the Windows desktop to fill the LCD screen. Please note, that the quality of the video screen will be low because of the pixel stretching required.
