VIDEO CONFIGURATION A CID ENVIRONMENT
______________________________________
This utility will allow for you to select a
monitor, resolution and refresh rate as part
of a CID installation.
The utility "VCFGCID.CMD" is a command file which
is called from a SDM (Software Distribution
Manager) and which takes the following parameters:
vcfgcid /L1:<Error Log> - Name of error log file
/L2:<History Log> - Name of history log file
/RES:<HORIZONTALxVERTICALxCOLORS> - Resolution i.e. 1024x768x256
/MON:<Monitor Index> - Index of selected monitor in
"MONITOR.DIF" file (see below)
/PMI - Indicates that the utility should
regenerate the svgadata.pmi file
if selected monitor has greater
capabilities than default monitor
/RR:<Refresh Rate> - Desired refresh rate for selected
resolution
"/L1:" and "/L2:" are optional. You must specify at
least one of "/RES:", "/MON:" or "/RR:"
The monitor "Index" passed as the value for parameter
"/MON:" needs to be obtained from the "monitor.dif"
file installed on the client system. A utility has
been included "getmonid.cmd" which will search the
monitor.dif file for specified keywords and return
the index values.
getmonid <key word> [<key word> ...] [-d <Monitor dif file>]
where "-d <Monitor dif file>" is optional and allows
for the specification of a an explicit "monitor.dif"
file. If not specified than the DPATH is searched
for "monitor.dif"
e.g.
getmonid ibm 15p -d monitor.dif
returns:
Index: 136 OEMString = "IBM 15PT/15XT TouchScreen Color Monitor 15 inch, IBM Corporation"
Index: 135 OEMString = "IBM 15P/15X/15XG Color Monitor 15 inch, IBM Corporation"
Choose the index which corresponds to the monitor you wish to be
selected.
To configure video for your system using CID, you must install
the appropriate display support and reboot. Then use the following
information to modify your LCU (LAN Configuration, Installation
and Distribution Utility) command file.
Note: LCU and related documentation/utilities are provided
as applets included with the IBM MPTS (Multi-Protocol
Transport Services) product which is included with
IBM Lan Server V3.0, V4.0 and OS/2 Warp server products.
Please refer to the documentation which comes with these
products for further information on LCU.
NOTE: The following information is meant as a guide.
Your LCU command file might be different.
NOTE: You must have already installed and be running the appropriate display
driver. You cannot install the display driver and run this utility in
one pass. Simply have your cid installation install the driver and
then reboot the system before running this configuration utility.

END OF LCU INFORMATION TO BE ADDED
/*****************************************************/
Following is an explanation of the line that is
executed in the LCU command file:
C:\OS2\INSTALL\VCFGCID /l1:c:\os2\install\vcfgerr.log
/l2:c:\os2\install\vcfghist.log /res:1024x768x256
/rr:75 /pmi /mon:135
/l1:c:\os2\install\vcfgerr.log
is the log file for any errors that may occur
/l2:c:\os2\install\vcfghist.log
is the log file for documenting results of calls
to vcfgcid
/res:1024x768x256
is the desired resolution/color depth. If not supported
by the current adapter than will default to supported
resolution.
/rr:75
set the vertical refresh rate to 75hz. If not supported
than will default to supported resolution
/pmi
tells utility to regenerate the svgadata.pmi file with
new monitor capabilities
/mon:135
select monitor corresponding to index 135. In this case
we choose "IBM 15P/15X/15XG Color Monitor 15 inch, IBM Corporation"
NOTES:
1. If by selecting a new monitor a new svgadata.pmi file
is generated, the utility will cause a "reboot with
callback" and then configure resolution/refresh rate
if needed
