- This usually occurs because you have an extra video driver in your
- CONFIG.SYS file. Here are some hypothetical CONFIG.SYS lines.
-
-
- SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_SVGA
- SET VIO_SVGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHSVGA)
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
-
- If you CONFIG.SYS looks like this, and you want SVGA device support in DOS
- sessions, delete the DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS lin. Your CONFIG.SYS will
- look like this if you are using the Service Pack.
-
- If you're not using the Service Pack, your CONFIG.SYS will look like this:
-
- SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_VGA
- SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHSVGA)
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
-
- Again, the same thing applies. Delete the VVGA.SYS line. OS/2 ignores
- multiple virtual video drivers (unless you're using 8514/A in which case
- you can have a V8514A.SYS line and a VVGA.SYS or VSVGA.SYS line).
-
- Hope this helps.
