- INSTALLATION OF SUPER VGA DISPLAY DRIVERS
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Display drivers that typically come from the display card manufacturers
- are replacements to the DISPLAY.DLL file in the OS2\DLL directory of the
- partition where you installed (For example, C:\OS2\DLL).
-
- To install a replacement display driver, following these steps:
-
- 1) From an DOS Full Screen, under OS/2 2.0, run the SVGA utility by
- typing:
-
- SVGA ON
-
- (See the OS/2 2.0 readme file for more information on SVGA).
-
- 2) Shutdown and reboot from either a DOS diskette (if you have FAT).
- or from the OS/2 installation diskettes. If you choose to
- boot from the Installation Diskettes, follow these steps, otherwise
- skip down to step 3.
-
- a) Insert the Installation Diskette into drive A.
- b) Turn on the computer. If the computer is already on, press
- and hold Ctrl + Alt and press Del to restart the system.
- c) When you are prompted to do so, remove the Installation Diskette
- and insert diskette 1.
- d) Press enter.
- e) When the Welcome screen is displayed, press Esc to display the
- command prompt.
-
- 3) Switch to the drive that you installed OS/2 on (i.e., C:)/
-
- 4) Switch to the \OS2\DLL directory (by typing cd \os2\dll), and execute
- the following step to backup the existing display driver:
-
- rename display.dll display.old
-
- 5) Copy the new display driver provided by the board manufacturer
- (filename may vary), into the \OS2\DLL directory with the
- filename of DISPLAY.DLL.
-
- For example, if the filename of the display driver you have is DISP.DRV
- and is in the \TEMP directory, you would execute the following statement
- from the OS2\DLL directory:
-
- copy \TEMP\DISP.DRV DISPLAY.DLL
-
- This will copy DISP.DRV from the \TEMP directory and rename it to
- DISPLAY.DLL in the OS2\DLL directory since that is where you were
- when you issued the copy command.
