-
-
- What this package contains:
- ===========================
-
- This diskette contains the Chips & Technologies 65545 Drivers
- for OS/2 2.1x & WARP on IBM ThinkPad models 701C & 701CS. Do
- not use these drivers on any other systems. These device drivers
- are specifically designed to maximize performance & function of
- OS/2 on the ThinkPad 701C & 701Cs systems.
-
- This is version 3.22 of the device driver package. OS/2 users
- installing one of these drivers will see significant performance
- & appearance improvements compared to the default VGA driver.
-
- This package contains one diskette image. The following
- instructions will guide you through creating the diskette
- & installing the software.
-
- You will need one 3.5" diskette, formatted for 1.44 Meg.
-
-
- Creating the diskettes:
- =======================
-
- 1. Download the VO701322.EXE file to your workstation
- in binary mode (WITHOUT character translation or line feed
- & carriage return insertion).
-
- 2. Format one 2MB diskette to 1.44MB.
-
- 3. Use LOADDSKF to create the new diskette:
-
- Example:
-
- LOADDSKF VO701322.DSK A:
-
- LOADDSKF can be obtained from IBM separately.

- YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO WRITE PROTECT THIS DISKETTE &
- PROTECT IT AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHER ORIGINAL SOFTWARE DISKETTE.

- Features
- ========
-
- 1. Windows (tm) programs can be run in "seamless" fashion with these
- drivers. You can also run Windows applications in fullscreen mode
- if you prefer.
-
- To change session type: click right mouse button (assuming right-
- handed mouse setup) on object to display options menu. Click on
- arrow on 'Open' line, to display Open options list. Click on
- 'Settings' to open settings notebook. Click on 'Session' page tab
- to display session type options. Choose fullscreen or windowed
- session type.
-
- 2. When using a display driver resolution greater than 640x480, with
- the display device set to "LCD" or "LCD and CRT", the driver will
- only show a 640x480 "window" of the larger desktop. This "window"
- will move automatically when you move the mouse pointer against
- the edge of the screen, allowing you to slide the 640x480 "window"
- to view any portion of the larger desktop.
-
- This feature is called "panning", & it eliminates the need to
- reconfigure OS/2 when switching between a high resolution monitor
- and the internal LCD display. When you change the display device
- to "CRT", you will see the entire 800x600 or 1024x768 mode you
- have selected.
-
- Please make certain your external monitor will support the high
- resolution modes before switching the display device to "CRT"
- (only).
-
- 3. 640x480x16M colors are supported.
-
-
- WIN-OS/2
- ========
- Please note the following limitations regarding WIN-OS/2.
-
- 1. The WIN-OS/2 full screen session should be set to Enhanced
- Capability. The default setting is Standard Mode. If this setting
- is not changed, Windows will not run correctly.
-
- 2. WIN-OS/2 should be started by selecting the WIN-OS/2 Full Screen
- Icon in the Command Prompts folder, or with the WIN command in a DOS
- Full Screen or OS/2 Full Screen session.
-
- 3. Do not start WIN-OS/2 in a DOS or OS/2 Window. The system does
- not support the enhanced video mode being used in a window, and
- therefore will not run.
-
- 4. When running a full screen WIN-OS/2 session, do not use ALT-HOME to
- switch to Windowed DOS session.
-
- Driver diskette copy
- ====================
- For proper installation of OS/2 drivers, all diskette copies must be properly
- labeled "CTDISP 1".
-
- To copy the OS/2 Display Driver Diskette, follow these instructions:
-
- Step 1: Copy all files on the OS/2 Display Driver Diskette as you
- normally would onto another diskette.
-
- Step 2: Place the diskette copy in drive A. At the C:\ prompt,
- type LABEL A: CTDISP 1 to properly label your diskette. Then store
- your diskette copy in a safe place.

- Installation of Chips & Technologies 655XX Drivers for OS/2 WARP
- ================================================================
-
- *************************** Warning ******************************
- Before installation of any SVGA display driver, the system display
- should be set to VGA mode. DO NOT install this driver package if
- the system display is set to anything other than 640x480x16 VGA
- mode. To restore VGA mode, use Selective Install and select VGA
- for Primary Display, or run the SETVGA utility.
- ******************************************************************
-
- Step 1: Open an OS/2 full screen or windowed session.
-
- Step 2: Place the CHIPS 65545 Display Driver Diskette in drive A.
- Type A: <ENTER> to make this the default drive.
-
- Type INSTALL A: C: <ENTER>
-
- where A: is the floppy disk drive and
- C: is the hard disk partition containing \OS2
-
- Once the Install Program is completed, do a system shutdown and
- reboot.
-
- A log of the information output during the install can be found
- in <root>:\OS2\INSTALL\CTINSTL.LOG
-
-
- Step 3: After the system has rebooted, do the following depending on
- which version of OS/2 is installed:
-
- A) OS/2 2.1x
- Open an OS/2 full-screen or windowed session. At the OS/2
- prompt, type DSPINSTL <ENTER> to install the new device
- driver and configure the video system.
-
- B) OS/2 Version 3
- Open the System Setup folder and run Selective Install to
- install the new device driver and configure the video
- system.
-
- Follow the instructions on the screen to set up the OS/2 display
- drivers in your system. First, select Primary Display from the System
- Configuration Window. From the list of Primary Display Adapter Types,
- select Chips and Technologies 65545 and then select OK.
-
- After the install program has completed, the display driver will be
- initialized for 640x480x256 Color. Shutdown and then reboot the system
- for the installed changes to take effect.
-
- To switch to a different video resolution or color depth, do the
- following:
-
- Change Video Resolution
- =======================
-
- Step 4: To change the screen resolution or color depth:
- Open the System Setup folder, then open System. From the list
- of available screen resolutions, select a new resolution. Point
- to the title-bar icon and double click. See Changing Screen
- Resolution in OS/2 Users Guide for more information.
-
-
- The system must now be shut down and restarted for changes to take
- effect.
-
-
- NOTE: Always use the INSTALL.CMD for the FIRST installation of the video
- device drivers. Thereafter, to change video resolutions, do Step 4
- above.
-
-
- The command file will copy the following files to C:
-
- C:\OS2\SVGA.EXE -- original saved as SVGA.ESV
- C:\OS2\INSTALL\DSPINSTL.EXE -- original saved as DSPINSTL.211
- -- this file NOT copied on WARP
- C:\OS2\SCREEN01.SYS -- original saved as SCREEN01.SSV
- (if present - otherwise you may
- see the message, "File Not Found" -
- this is OK)
- C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
- C:\OS2\CHIPS.SYS
- C:\OS2\INSTALL\CT65545.DSC
-
- The command file will also run SETLBA.EXE which will modify
- CHIPS.SYS with this adapter's linear buffer address obtained
- from BIOS.
-
- Driver diskette copy
- ====================
- For proper installation of OS/2 drivers, all diskette copies must be properly
- labeled "CTDISP 1".
-
- To copy the OS/2 Display Driver Diskette, follow these instructions:
-
- Step 1: Copy all files on the OS/2 Display Driver Diskette as you
- normally would onto another diskette.
