- ║ I. INTRODUCTION ║
- ║ ║
- ║ The OS/2 Presentation Manager drivers resided on your ║
- ║ VGA 4000 Driver Diskette #1 support both 800x600 and 1024x768 ║
- ║ resolutions with 16 colors. The OS/2 PM driver consists of two ║
- ║ major parts (DLL files). The main part of the driver (PM800_16.DLL ║
- ║ and PM1K_16.DLL) provides drawing, color manipulating, font and ║
- ║ pointer handling, maintaining icon/pointer/font resources, and ║
- ║ interfaces to the Presentation Manager itself. The second part ║
- ║ (ET4000PM.DLL) provides three basic functions: OEMInit(), ║
- ║ OEMTextSetup(), and OEMGraphicsSetup(). These functions will be ║
- ║ called by the main part of the driver. The second part of driver ║
- ║ will load a binary formatted table of values from a disk file named ║
- ║ DISPLAY.CFG when it is installed. The file DISPLAY.CFG contains ║
- ║ values of registers for the color palette RAM and the graphic ║
- ║ processor on your VGA 4000 board. In our distribution ║
- ║ diskette, there are several ".CDG" files and each one of them ║
- ║ work with particular second part of driver ".DLL" files. When ║
- ║ you install the OS/2 driver, make sure copy those .CFG file over ║
- ║ to "OS2\DLL" directory and change the name to "DISPLAY.DLL". ║
- ║ (For detailed information, see INSTALLATION section below.) ║
- ║ ║
- ║ ║
- ║ II. INSTALLATION ║
- ║ ║
- ║ To install the extended display drivers for OS/2 Presentation ║
- ║ Manager, you will need VGA 4000 Driver Diskette #2 and ║
- ║ OS/2 Presentation Manager version 1.2x. Follow instructions ║
- ║ below very carefully when you install the driver: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 1. Install the OS/2 and Presentation Manager (v1.2x) on your ║
- ║ computer in standard graphic mode (EGA/VGA) first and then ║
- ║ verify your installation to see if it runs correctly before ║
- ║ continuing the installation of VGA 4000 high resulotion ║
- ║ OS/2 PM drivers. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 2. Save the file "DISPLAY.DLL" in the directory "C:\OS2\DLL" first. ║
- ║ This can be done by using the "COPY" command. For instance: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ C:\OS2\DLL>COPY DISPLAY.DLL DISP_SAVE.DLL [ENTER] ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 3. Decide which driver you want to install into your system. OS/2 ║
- ║ PM drivers are in your VGA 4000 Driver Diskette #2 under ║
- ║ sub-directory "\OS2_PM". Eech driver has its own associated ║
- ║ configuration file. Table below provides detailed information: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Driver Name Associated GRAPHIC TEXT Colors VMODE ║
- ║ CFG File Resolution Mode Type ║
- ║ =========== =========== ========== ====== ====== ======== ║
- ║ PM1K_16.DLL 45M8025.CFG 1024x768 80x25 16 45M (I) ║
- ║ 65M8025.CFG 1024x768 80x25 16 65M (NI) ║
- ║ 72M8025.CFG 1024x768 80x25 16 72M (VESA) ║
- ║ ║
- ║ PM800_16.DLL 35K8025.CFG 800x600 80x25 16 35K (NI) ║
- ║ 38K8025.CFG 800x600 80x25 16 38K (NI) ║
- ║ 48K8025.CFG 800x600 80x25 16 48K (VESA) ║
- ║ ║
- ║ For example, if you want to install a driver have 1024x768 ║
- ║ resolution and high reflash rate (VESA or 72MHz), then you ║
- ║ should choose "PM1K_16.DLL" and "72M8025.CFG". If your monitor ║
- ║ only support 800x600 with horizontal frequency of 35KHz, then ║
- ║ you have to choose "PM800_16.DLL" and "35K8025.CFG". ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 4. Make sure you have the following statements in your "CONFIG.SYS" ║
- ║ file, or use text editor to create them: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ IOPL=YES ║
- ║ LIBPATH=C:\OS2\DLL ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 5. Now prepare to copy drivers over to the "\OS2\DLL" directory. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ - If you are running DOS, go to step 6. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ - If you are running OS/2, go to step 7. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 6. If you are now under the DOS environment, insert VGA 4000 ║
- ║ Driver Diskette #1 into drive A:. To install 1024x768 driver, ║
- ║ do the following DOS command at DOS prompt: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ a) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\PM1K_16.DLL C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.DLL ║
- ║ b) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\ET4000PM.DLL C:\OS2\DLL ║
- ║ c) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\45M8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\65M8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\72M8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ ║
- ║ To install 800x600 driver, do the following DOS command at DOS ║
- ║ prompt: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ a) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\PM800_16.DLL C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.DLL ║
- ║ b) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\ET4000PM.DLL C:\OS2\DLL ║
- ║ c) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\35K8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\38K8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\48K8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ ║
- ║ YOUR OS/2 DRIVER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED. Now you can reboot ║
- ║ your system with OS/2. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 7. If you are under the OS/2 environment, please do step 7 and 8. ║
- ║ Insert VGA 4000 Driver Diskette #1 in drive A:. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Select either "DOS" window or "OS\2 Window" on OS/2 PM screen. ║
- ║ If you want to install 1024x768 video driver, do the following ║
- ║ commands at either DOS or OS/2 prompt: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ a) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\ET4000PM.DLL C:\OS2\DLL ║
- ║ b) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\45M8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\65M8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\72M8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Do the following OS/2 or DOS commands for installing the 800x600 ║
- ║ video driver: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ a) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\ET4000PM.DLL C:\OS2\DLL ║
- ║ b) C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\35K8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\38K8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ OR ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\48K8025.CFG C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.CFG ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 8. Remove VGA 4000 Driver Diskette #1 from drive A:. ║
- ║ Reboot your system with DOS (NOT OS/2 !). Do the following ║
- ║ command at DOS prompt: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ - If install the 1024x768 video driver: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\PM1K_16.DLL C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.DLL ║
- ║ ║
- ║ - If install the 800x600 video driver: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ C:>COPY A:\OS2_PM\PM800_16.DLL C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.DLL ║
- ║ ║
- ║ YOUR OS/2 DRIVER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED. Now you can reboot ║
- ║ your system with OS/2. ║
- ║ ║

- ║ ║
- ║ - Don't forget to SAVE original "DISPLAY.DLL" file in "C:\OS2\DLL" ║
- ║ as stated in step 2. The high reesolution driver & configuration ║
- ║ file MUST USE names "DISPLAY.DLL" and "DISPLAY.CFG" when they ║
- ║ are copied into "C:\OS2\DLL". This will destory the original ║
- ║ "DISPLAY.DLL" file. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ - Remember, OS/2 is a multi-tasking system. It WON'T allow you ║
- ║ to re-name or over-write the file "DISPLAY.DLL" while other ║
- ║ task is using it. The display driver file is a shared resource ║
- ║ under OS/2. Therefore, to replace it with the high resolution ║
- ║ driver, you must quit from OS/2 and do it under DOS. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ - To replace the existing high resolution driver, do step 6 or ║
- ║ step 7 and step 8. The only difference is you don't have to ║
- ║ copy the file "ET4000PM.DLL" into "C:\OS2\DLL" again. ║
