INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------- NOTES: 1. You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed in order to install this driver. 2. The OS/2 ATTRIB command is used during installation. If you elected not to install the OS/2 System Utility Programs or you have deleted the ATTRIB, command you must use Selective Install to restore the ATTRIB command before continuing. 3. If you previously installed SVGA support, return to VGA resolution using the new SETVGA procedure found at the end of this README before you install this driver. INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE -------------------------- This video accelerator driver is compatible with OS/2 2.1. Do not install it on previous versions of OS/2. To install this S3 video accelerator driver from diskette: 1. Place this diskette into drive A (or any other diskette drive). 2. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session. 3. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command: A:S3INST A: C: where: A: is the diskette drive C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed This command will copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive. 4. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive, perform a shutdown, and then restart the system. 5. Open the "OS/2 System" folder. 6. Open the "System Setup" folder. 7. Open the "Display Driver Install" (DSPINSTL) object. When the Display Driver Install window appears, "S3" should be the default choice. Select "OK". When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" option is preselected. You can accept this option or select the "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" option. NOTE: If you select the Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program option, follow the instructions on your screen. For additional information about this option, you can refer to pages 114 and 115 in the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide". 8. When the source directory pop-up window appears, insert the S3 Video Accelerator Driver diskette and select Install. DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the SVGADATA.PMI file on the drive where the OS2 directory is located. If the SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be supported. 9. When the installation is complete, do the following: a. Open "OS/2 System". b. Open "System Setup". c. Open the "System" object. The Screen page of the Settings notebook lists all the supported resolutions for your configuration. d. Select a resolution; then, close the notebook. 10. Perform a shutdown; then, restart the system. Note that during the installation of this driver a DISPLAY.LOG file is created in the OS2\INSTALL directory. This file identifies the OS/2 2.1 system files that were updated and indicates whether the installation was successful. The contents of this file might be useful if you need to report an installation problem to IBM.
