- SECTION I
- DESCRIPTION OF PRESENTATION MANAGER DRIVER
-
- The PM 800x600 16 color driver is compatible with PRESENTATION
- MANAGER Version 1.1 and 1.2. To use this driver, a compatible
- monitor capable of 800X600 resolution must be installed and the
- video card configured for that monitor. Consult your manual for
- configuration instructions.
-
- After correct installation, the driver will at boot time
- automatically detect the monitor and initialize itself correctly.
-
-
- SECTION II
- INSTALLATION OF PM DRIVER
-
-
- IMPORTANT:
-
- Before you start with the installation of the driver, make sure
- OS/2 and Presentation Manager have been installed and are
- functional.
-
- To install the driver, first you have to either boot the system
- with DOS or disable the PRESENTATION MANAGER by modifying the
- OS/2's CONFIG.SYS file. (see DISABLE PRESENTATION MANAGER)
- Otherwise, your DLL driver will not be copied correctly. Then
- follow the Automatic Installation or the Manual Installation to
- complete the installation process.
-
-
- AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION
- ----------------------
-
-
- Insert disk #4 into drive A: and type the following commands:
-
- A: <enter>
- CD\OS2 <enter>
- PMINST<enter>
-
- The installation program will guide you through the installation
- of your system and copy the necessary files.
-
- After the installation, reboot the system with OS/2. Make sure
- that the adapter has been previously set up for your monitor
- using the VSETUP program which is on Disk #1.

-
- MANUAL INSTALLATION
- -------------------
-
-
- The driver consists of two files:
-
- PM11-54B.DLL
- PM11-54B.SYS
-
- These two files are contained in disk #4 under the directory OS2.
- Installation involves copying the files on to your OS/2 boot disk
- and modifying the CONFIG.SYS file. Follow these steps:
-
-
- 1) Copy PM11-54B.SYS file into C:\OS2 directory. EXAMPLE:
-
- COPY A:\OS2\PM11-54B.SYS C:\OS2
-
- 2) Using a DOS text editor, insert the following line into
- the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of your
- boot disk:
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\PM11-54B.SYS
-
- 3) Find the line beginning with LIBPATH in your CONFIG.SYS
- file.
-
- 4) Replace the file DISPLAY.DLL in the first directory in
- LIBPATH with PM11-54B.DLL file. You may want to
- rename your DISPLAY.DLL file instead of overwriting
- it.
-
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- Your CONFIG.SYS files contains the line:
-
- LIBPATH = C:\OS2\DLL;C:\MYDLL;
-
- and you find a file named DISPLAY.DLL in the C:\OS2\DLL
- directory.
-
- Type at the command prompt:
-
- COPY A:\OS2\PM11-54B.DLL C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.DLL
-
- 5) Reboot your system.

-
- DISABLE THE PRESENTATION MANAGER
- --------------------------------
-
- We recommend users to boot the system with DOS and then follow
- the Automatic or Manual Installation to complete the installation
- process. However, if you cannot boot the system with DOS for any
- reason, you can disable the PRESENTATION MANAGER by modifying the
- CONFIG.SYS file as shown in the following steps.
-
- 1) Change the line
-
- PROTSHELL=C:\OS2\PMSHELL.EXE C:\OS2\OS2.INI C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
-
- to
-
- PROTSHELL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
-
- 2) Reboot the system. Only the OS2 prompt [C:\] appears.
-
- 3) Follow the Automatic or Manual Installation to
- complete the setup procedure.
-
- 4) After completing the installation change the line
-
- PROTSHELL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
-
- back to
-
- PROTSHELL=C:\OS2\PMSHELL.EXE C:\OS2\OS2.INI C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
-
- 5) Reboot the system.
