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. You must run the GO95.EXE utility and select a monitor
from the Stealth64 Video 2001 Installation disk. You must select a
predefined monitor, as User Defined Monitor does not work
properly under OS/2. Refer to instructions in the Stealth64 Video
2001 User's Manual for running GO95.EXE and selecting a monitor.
Run the following command:
C:\GO95\GO95.EXE MONITOR
e. Run the following command:
SVGA ON
f. Exit the DOS Full Screen session.
12. To select a resolution and color depth, 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.
13. 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
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 Diamond Multimedia Systems.
Known Limitations
