- Considerations for OS/2 Warp
-
- This section describes how to set up an external display for OS/2
- Warp and also describes considerations for using several functions
- with OS/2 Warp.
-
- Setting Up an External Display for OS/2 Warp
-
- This section describes how to set up an external display for OS/2
- Warp. The procedures for setting an external display attached to
- your ThinkPad for OS/2 Warp differs, depending on whether you
- are using the computer with a TFT LCD display or with a DSTN
- LCD display.
-
- For 755CE and 755CD with a TFT Display
-
- 1 Turn off the computer and attach the external display to the
- computer.
- 2 Start OS/2 Warp.
- 3 Press and hold [Fn]; then press [F7]. This sets up the
- computer to display the output on the external display.
-
- Note:
- If you want to use an external display, make sure not to select
- the LCD on the computer.
-
- 4 Open the OS/2 command prompt, and change to the drive
- where OS/2 is installed.
- 5 At the OS2 directory, enter the following to back up the
- SVGADATA.PMI file for the LCD:
-
- C:\OS2>copy svgadata.pmi svgadata.int
-
- 6 Enter the following to create a new SVGADATA.PMI file:
-
- C:\OS2>svga on
-
- If you have a wrong display image after this operation,
- press and hold [Fn]; then press [F7] three times.
-
-
- Page - 1-20
-
- 7 Enter the following to back up the new SVGADATA.PMI file
- for the external display:
-
- C:\OS2>copy svgadata.pmi svgadata.ext
-
- 8 Open the [System Setup] folder and double-click on the
- [System] icon.
- 9 Select your desired screen resolution.
- 10 Close the [System] window.
- 11 Shut down OS/2 and restart the system.
-
- You have completed the setup of the external display.
-
- o To use the LCD on the computer after doing the previous
- steps, do the following:
-
- 1. Select [640x480] as the resolution in the [System Setup] folder.
- 2. Enter the following at the OS2 directory in the boot drive:
-
- C:\OS2>copy svgadata.int svgadata.pmi
-
- 3. Shutdown OS/2 and restart your system.
- 4. Make the LCD on the computer available, using the [Fn] key
- function (Fn + F7).
-
- o To recover a distorted or a blank screen, do the following:
-
- 1. Start OS/2.
- 2. When a small white box appears at the upper left corner
- on the screen, press and hold [Alt]; then press [F1].
- 3. When the [RECOVERY CHOICES] menu appears, press [v] to
- reset the video display to VGA.
- 4. Reinstall [Western Digital 90C24] display driver, referring to
- "Installing the ThinkPad Display Drivers" on page 1-10.
- 5. Shutdown OS/2 and restart the system.
-
-
- Page - 1-21
-
- For 755CSE with a DSTN Display
-
- When you use an external display with your computer, you need
- to prepare two setup files - one for LCD and another for external
- display. You have to switch between those two files when:
-
- o You attach or detach an external display.
- o You start or stop the use of High performance mode.
-
- To set up an external display, do the following:
-
- 1 Ensure that the ThinkPad Features program has been
- installed on your computer.
- 2 Open the OS/2 command prompt.
- 3 Change to the drive where OS/2 is installed.
- 4 At the root directory, enter the following to back up the
- STARTUP.CMD file:
-
- C:\>ren startup.cmd startup.bak
-
- 5 Open the STARTUP.CMD file using the E editor or any other
- editor and add the following:
-
- @START /FS \ OS2 \ SVGA.EXE ON
- @EXIT
