=============================================================================== Stealth64 Video 2001 README.S3 =============================================================================== INSTALLATION 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 instructions in the "Recovering from an Incorrect Display Type Selection" section of your OS/2 user's manual. INSTALLATION: ------------- This video accelerator driver is compatible with OS/2 2.1x and 3.0. Do not install it over any display driver other than VGA. 1. Place the Stealth64 Video 2001 OS/2 driver diskette into drive A (or any other diskette drive). 2. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session. 3. Change to the OS/2 directory. Then type 'attrib -r -s -h screen0*.sys'. 4. Then switch to the floppy drive where you inserted the Stealth64 Video 2001 OS/2 driver disk. Then, at the prompt, type the following command: S3INST A: C: where: A: is the diskette drive C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed This command will copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive. You will be requested to put disk #2 into the drive. 5. When S3INST has completed executing, remove the diskette from the diskette drive, perform a shutdown, and then restart the system. 6. Open the "OS/2 System" folder. 7. Open the "System Setup" folder. 8. Open the "Display Driver Install" (DSPINSTL) object. When the Display Driver Install window appears, chose primary display, then select "OK". The Primary Display Adapter type window will then appear with a list of drivers. You will want to select the '32-bit S3 Display Drivers v2.57'. This should be toward the beginning of the list. Then click "OK". When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" option is preselected. Select "OK". 9. When the source directory pop-up window appears, insert the Stealth64 Video 2001 OS/2 Driver diskette 1 of 2, 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. 10. Perform a shutdown; then, restart the system. 11. To activate the refresh rates defined by the GO95 utility, do the following: a. Open "OS/2 System". b. Open "Command Prompts". c. Open "DOS Full Screen". d.
