VGA Palette Snooping

**Vikingod** · Mar 25, 2005, 01:05 PM

I was wondering how to turn off VGA palette snooping in my mobility radeon 9000. Should i turn it off, is it dangerous? I've heard its better for performance to turn it off if your card doesn't need it.

You can turn it off from your system BIOS. 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 the boot information and the VGA compatibility.

I doubt you need it, it was a feature for much older systems.
