- INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE
- --------------------------
-
- This video accelerator driver is compatible with OS/2 2.1.
- Do not install it on previous versions of OS/2.
-
- To install this miro video accelerator driver from diskette:
-
- 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".
-
- 8. When the source directory pop-up window appears, insert the S3
- OS/2 display 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.
- If the SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not
- be supported.
-
- 9. When the installation is complete, do the following:
- a. Open "OS/2 System".
- b. Open "System Setup".
- c. Open the "System" object. The Screen page of the Settings
- notebook lists all the supported resolutions for your
- configuration.
- d. Select a resolution; then, close the notebook.
-
- 10. Open a DOS box full screen session and start
- <Bootdrive>:\os2\wininst\install <Bootdrive>:
-
- 11. Follow the Win/OS2 install procedure.
-
- 12. Close the Win/OS2 session.
-
- 13. 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.
-
