- Even if it *says* your display is "Super VGA", you *must* select "OS/2
- System -> System Setup -> Selective Install", select the "Display"
- checkbox, remind OS/2 you have a "Super VGA", select the desired
- resolution, and reinsert all the diskettes from your original OS/2
- diskettes and the two display driver diskettes from the Service Pack
- when prompted.
-
- Then, when you restart your system, OS/2 *should* give you a Super VGA
- desktop.
