- INSTALLATION:
- -------------
-

- on previous versions of OS/2.
-
- 1. Place this diskette into drive A (or any other diskette drive).
-
- 2. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session.
-
- 3. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command:
-
- A:S3INST A: C:
-
- where: A: is the diskette drive
- C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed
-
- This command will copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive.
-
- 4. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive, perform a shutdown, and
- then restart the system.
-
- 5. Open the "OS/2 System" folder.
-
- 6. Open the "System Setup" folder.
-
- 7. Open the "Display Driver Install" (DSPINSTL) object.
-
- When the Display Driver Install window appears, "S3" should be the
- default choice. Select "OK".
-
- When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears,
- the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" option is preselected.
- Select the "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" option, then
- select "OK".

- path accordingly. Select "OK".
-
- 9. When the source directory pop-up window appears, insert the S3
- Video Accelerator Driver diskette and select Install.
-
- DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the
- SVGADATA.PMI file on the drive where the OS2 directory is located.

- supported.
-
- 10. When the installation is complete, do the following:

-
- 11. Perform a shutdown; then, restart the system.
-
- Note that during the installation of this driver a DISPLAY.LOG file is
- created in the OS2\INSTALL directory. This file identifies the OS/2 2.1
- system files that were updated and indicates whether the installation was
- successful. The contents of this file might be useful if you need to report
- an installation problem to Diamond Computer Systems.
