- When installing the OS/2 2.1 beta you will likely chose the "Primary Display"
- option on the install menu. You will go through your install.
-
- If you are like me.....then you dont get offered any SVGA drivers....:-(
-
- Fix: Open System Settings and chose Selective Install. Pick the "Primary
- Display" option again and go through the re-install procedure (yes, disks
- 6-19). At the end, it will tell you it is checking your hardware
- compatibility and do the DOS full-screen, SVGA ON thing we all know and love.
-
- It will then offer you the SVGA resolutions appropriate for your card - in my
- case, a Trident 8900c with 1 meg. After that...follow your nose.
