-
- Installing the mach64 OS/2 Drivers
-
- Warning:
-
- o Before installing the ATI OS/2 display drivers, you must set your system to
- use the IBM supplied VGA driver.
-
- o Check the Window List (press CTRL-ESC) to see if you have any WIN-OS/2 or DOS
- sessions iconized. Close any open DOS or WIN-OS2 applications as the OS/2
- device driver installation will not complete successfully with WIN-OS/2 or
- DOS sessions running.
-
- o To complete the install successfully you will require the following
- information:
-
- *The OS/2 boot drive on which the PM driver is located.
- *The default ATI OS/2 driver directory is C:\MACH_OS2.
-
- After you have set the operating system to use the IBM supplied VGA driver:
-
- 1. Insert the mach64 disk #1 and run OS2INST.EXE in a windowed or full screen
- OS/2 session. This will start up a customized full screen DOS session and
- run the INSTALL.EXE program. In INSTALL, check "Power-Up Configuration" and
- check that the appropriate monitor type has been selected. Select the
- correct monitor NOW and save the card's configuration if this has not
- already been done previously.
-
- Note:
-
- o OS/2 requires that the 640x480 resolution be set for the IBM default, 60Hz
- vertical refresh rate.
- o You must configure the card for all resolutions that your monitor can
- support in order to have them work correctly under OS/2 Only those
- resolutions you have configured will display correctly.
-
- 2. Return to the main selection menu and select the following:
-
- a)Select Drivers Installation and press <Enter>.
- b)From the Install Enhanced Drivers menu select IBM OS/2 and press <Enter>
- c)Follow the on screen prompts until this portion of the installation

-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. 4.0 Known Problems ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Known Problems
-
- OS/2 2.11 and OS/2 Warp (with WINOS/2)
-
- Versions of OS/2 2.11 which do not have the IBM Service Fix Pack extensions
- installed will not function correctly with some cards. With some versions the
- Full-Screen OS/2 mode will appear out of sync., DOS boxes will not function or
- OS/2 2.11 may not boot up.
-
- COM 4 CONFLICT
-
- Attempting to execute the mach64 INSTALL program with a Com 4 device installed
- will cause the system to hang. Remove any device that uses the base I/O 2E8,
- before running INSTALL.
-
- REMOVING/ADDING MEMORY
-
- When removing memory or adding memory to a mach64 card the offered resolutions
- are not updated. To get this the user must regenerate the SVGADATA.PMI file in
- the \OS2 directory, otherwise, OS/2 will not function correctly. To regenerate
- the SVGADATA.PMI file, requires one of two methods described below depending on
- whether OS/2 will boot to the PM Shell or not:
-
- o If OS/2 will not boot to the PM Shell:
-
- 1. Boot to DOS.
- 2. From the \OS2 directory, run the command 'SVGA ON DOS'
- 3. Rename the file SVGADATA.DOS to SVGADATA.PMI
- 4. Reboot the system.
-
- o If OS/2 will boot to the PM Shell:
-
- 1. Open a full screen DOS session.
- 2. From the \OS2 directory, run 'SVGA ON INIT'
- 3. Shutdown and reboot the system.
-
- SPECIAL DOS MODES
-
- Some special DOS modes may not display correctly with some cards, for example,
- 40 column text in a DOS session.
-
- TASK SWITCHING DOS GRAPHICS
-
- Task switching between DOS graphics and the Presentation Manager, will result
- in the DOS session, becoming distorted. The distorted DOS display may appear
- with a ghosted image of the Presentation Manager. The DOS screen may be black
- or have random graphics. This problem can be seen with DOS games using VESA
- modes and other graphics based applications. The only workaround is to refresh
- the DOS session screen within the application itself.
-
- OS/2 CHESS
-
- The white players are transparent boxes. If you run Chess OS/2 Computer vs
- Computer, the white team chess pieces are not distinguishable.
-
- CHANGING REFRESH RATES
-
- When changing refresh rates of 640x480 resolution, IBM OS/2 must use 60 Hz VGA
- frequency. This is a limitation of OS/2 and only applies to the 640x480
- resolution. Use the OS2INST program on the mach64 disk #1 to set this refresh
- rate if required. Improperly configuring the 640x480 resolution, can result in
- the system hanging to a scrambled screen on boot.
-
- MINIMIZED FULL-SCREEN WINDOWS REBOOT
-
- If full-screen windows is minimized and the system is rebooted without closing
- the Full Screen Windows session or the system crashes, when the system is
- restarted, Windows components will improperly appear on the OS/2 desktop. To
- work around this add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY
-
- This will prevent the Windows session from automatically coming up when the
- system is restarted.
-
- Micrographics Designer
-
- Micrographics Designer for OS/2 in 24 bits per pixel mode may not load or may
- cause corrupted display.
-
- Uninstalling ATI mach64 drivers
-
- Uninstalling the ATI driver may leave a reference to \OS2\VAD64.SYS in your
- CONFIG.SYS file. If so you must manually edit the CONFIG.SYS file to remove
- this reference to complete the uninstall or DOS sessions may become corrupted.
- This is a known problem with the uninstall and can be corrected by an IBM field
- service update.
-
- CORRUPTED DISPLAY USING WINOS/2 MEDIA PLAYER IN A SEAMLESS SESSION
-
- Screen corruption may result if the Windows MediaPlayer is running an AVI movie
- in a Seamless WINOS/2 session while an OS/2 command session is brought to the
- foreground. Parts of the movie playing in the MediaPlayer may remain in the
- OS/2 command session. We recommend using the MediaPlayer in a full screen
- WINOS/2 session or using the OS/2 Digital Video player as supplied with the
- OS/2 MMPM.
-
- VIDEO PLAYBACK
-
- 1. Blank or Garbled video playback, particularly with the UltiMotion clips.
-
- 2. DIVE and Video Playback are disabled for video modes that require 4MB of
- video memory. Refer to section 1.0 for a list of effected modes.
-
- 3. Playing video clips and switching to WIN-OS/2 full screen while the video
- clip is playing may cause the system to lock up.
-
- 4. 64K Color modes: UltiMotion clips will come up as mostly blue when running
- 800x600, 65K color or 1024x768, 65K color modes. This is a technical
- problem with the 2.1 release of OS/2 UltiMedia; it is unable to use more
- than 1MB of video memory. The current 2.11 release of OS/2 UltiMotion, does
- not experience this problem.
-
- 5. Overlapping a Video playback window with another window may result in the
- video bleeding through the overlapping window.
