- OS/2 2.1 - README
- _________________
-
- Welcome to OS/2* 2.1. This readme contains
- helpful hints found in our testing as well as
- updated information that did not make our
- printed publications. It is divided into the
- following categories:
-
- o General System Considerations
- o WIN-OS/2 Application Compatibility
- o DOS Application Compatibility
- o OS/2 Application Compatibility
- o DOS and WIN-OS/2 Multimedia Application
- Compatibility
- o Network
- o Advanced Power Management
- o Display adapters
- o Audio Adapters
- o Printers
- o Scanners
- o Mahjongg Game
- o Trademarks and Service Marks
-
- A separate Readme file for MMPM/2 is contained
- in the MMPM/2 program.
-
-
- GENERAL SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o OS/2 2.1 uses a system proportional font
- that is designed to meet the International
- Standards Organization (ISO) 9241 standard
- and the German DIN 66234 standard on
- suitable hardware.
-
- ISO compliant fonts cause some text strings
- to be clipped. If you do not want to use
- ISO compliant fonts, modify the OS2.INI
- file to install fonts that are not ISO
- compliant. Font changes made in the
- OS2.INI file are global across all
- applications. If you have REXX installed,
- you can type the following information into
- a CMD file and use it to change the font.
-
- /* */
- call RxFuncAdd "SysIni", "RexxUtil", "SysIni"
- AppName = "PM_SystemFonts"
- KeyName = "DefaultFont"
- FontName = "10.System Proportional Non-ISO"
- call SysIni "USER", AppName, KeyName, FontName||"0"x
- exit
-
- After the file has been run, shutdown and
- restart the system.
- o If you experience video corruption:
- - Display the pop-up menu for the
- desktop; then select Refresh to redraw
- the desktop.
- - If the screen goes blank, press Alt+Esc
- to switch between the applications to
- force repainting of the screen.
-
-
- o DOS Images on the hard disk (VMBs) need to
- use the FSFILTER and FSACCESS drivers
- provided with this version of OS/2.
- FSFILTER and FSACESS drivers are located in
- the \OS2\MDOS directory.
- o The Check disk option for a CD-ROM object
- will not display information about the
- CD-ROM. To obtain information about the
- CD-ROM:
- 1. Point to the CD-ROM drive object.
- 2. Click mouse button 2.
- 3. Select the arrow to the right of Open.
- 4. Select Details view.
- o During a system shutdown, there might be
- times when the "Shutdown is completed"
- message is not displayed. If this happens,
- wait until all disk activity is complete,
- then power off the system.
- o If you are installing OS/2 2.1 over a
- system that has OS/2 2.0 installed, the
- desktop directory name will be "OS!2_2.0_D"
- and the title of the desktop will be "OS/2
- 2.0 Desktop". On a system that has OS/2
- 2.1 installed, the desktop directory name
- will be "Desktop".
-
- o If you have a preinstalled system, and you
- change your country or keyboard configuration
- using the Configure Preinstalled System program,
- located in the Configuration Tools folder, the
- changes only occur for OS/2 sessions.
- To configure the country and keyboard for WIN-OS/2
- sessions, use the International icon from the
- WIN-OS/2 Control Panel.
-
- o After installing OS/2 2.1 on your system, use the
- Migrate Applications program to migrate your programs
- instead of the Selective Install program. The
- Migrate Applications program is located in the System
- Setup folder.
-
- WIN-OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
-
- o The performance of Windows programs that
- use floating point operations can be
- improved by changing the WIN-OS/2* setting,
- WIN_RUN_MODE, to Enhanced Compatibility.
- o Windows scanning programs should be run in
- a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session to avoid
- video corruption.
- o To ensure the integrity of 16-color bit
- maps on SVGA, XGA, and 8514 systems, run
- Microsoft Paint Brush in a WIN-OS/2
- full-screen session.
- o Some messages encountered in a WIN-OS/2
- window session request that you select
- either Ignore or Close, however the only
- options are Ignore and OK. Select OK
- instead of Close.
- o If you are using a WIN-OS/2 window session,
- an OS/2 Presentation Manager session, and a
- DOS full-screen session, Alt+Esc might not
- sequence through all of the windows
- correctly. Alt+Esc might switch to the
- WIN-OS/2 session every other time or the
- DOS full-screen session might never be
- displayed.
-
- To avoid this problem, press Ctrl+Esc or
- press mouse buttons 1 and 2 at the same
- time to display the Window List then select
- the desired session.
- o If you are in a full-screen WIN-OS/2
- session and you encounter a problem where
- transparent desktop icons appear over open
- windows, minimize or maximize the window to
- force repainting.
- o The Copy Disk option for the WIN-OS/2 File
- Manager does not prompt for a target
- diskette. Use the DISKCOPY command in
- either a DOS or OS/2 command prompt session
- instead.
- o During installation of the Windows 3.1 SDK,
- a message is displayed stating that the
- installation program cannot find
- KRNL286.EXE or KRNL386.EXE. Ignore the
- message and continue installation. The SDK
- will function normally.
- o If you are using the Winsleuth Gold
- hardware diagnostics program:
- - Do not run Chip test (RAM test
- program). Chip test attempts to lock
- hardware interrupts. OS/2 2.1 does not
- allow programs to lock hardware
- interrupts.
- - When the video mode hardware test
- switches from character to graphics
- mode, a "suspended" message might
- appear. If the message appears, Select
- Full-screen from the Sessions System
- menu. Testing will resume.
-

-
-
- OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
-
- o Closing OS/2 applications that use the
- hardware palette (typically picture viewers
- or sample graphic applications)
- occasionally causes a repaint problem on
- the desktop. If the windows do not repaint
- correctly, a refresh will restore the
- desktop, but any windows that are opened or
- moved will still have the problem.
- Restarting the system is the only way to
- completely correct this problem.
- o If you are using Lotus 123G for OS/2 or Lotus

- Make sure that the MIDI mapper (in the Control
- Panel) is properly set to the sound adapter.
-
-
- Nautilus** 1.6 and 1.76
- -----------------------
- Run in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session.
-
-
-
- NETWORK
-
- o The Workplace Shell login is not compatible
- with NetWare** 4.0 Directory Services and
- should be disabled unless you are using the
- NetWare 4.0 Bindery Compatibility mode. To
- disable the login:
- 1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 2. Remove the CONNECTIONS option from SET
- AUTOSTART.
- 3. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 4. Restart the system to activate the
- changes.
- o If you are using the NetWare Requester
- version 2.01, (ships with NetWare 4.0) but
- have no NetWare 4.0 servers, you can
- increase the speed of the login process by
- turning the Directory Services off. To
- turn the services off:
- 1. Edit NET.CFG file in the root directory
- of the boot drive.
- 2. Add Directory Services Off to the file.
- 3. Save and exit the file.
- o Novell** NetWare Requester 2.0 and 2.01
- programs NMPIPE.SYS, NPSERVER.SYS, and
- NPDAEMON.EXE require the following
- information to be added to the OS2VER file.
- To add this information to the file:
- 1. At an OS/2 command prompt, type: ATTRIB
- -h -r -s OS2VER
- 2. Edit the OS2VER file in the root
- directory of the boot drive.
- 3. Type the following information in the
- file:
-
- 20=NMPIPE.SYS
- 20=NPSERVER.SYS
- 20=NPDAEMON.EXE
-
- 4. Save and exit the file.
- 5. Type ATTRIB +h +r +s OS2VER
- o If you are using FFST/2 (for example, if
- you enable the FFST/2 feature when
- installing Communications Manager/2 or Data
- Base Manager/2), REM out the
- "RUN=...\EPW.EXE" statement in your
- CONFIG.SYS file. To utilize FFST/2
- technology, add a "DETACH EPW.EXE" as the
- first statement in your STARTUP.CMD file.
-
-
- ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT
-
- The OS/2 2.1 APM support relies on the
- power status information returned from the
- BIOS on your laptop. You might notice
- incorrect battery life or status within the
- power icon on your laptop. If this occurs,
- rely on the LEDs on your laptop for
- accurate power status information.
- o Turning the APM setting to OFF also turns
- off the BIOS power management. If you want
- to turn off the APM but not the BIOS power
- management, place REM before the APM device
- driver statement in your CONFIG.SYS file,
- then restart your system to invoke the
- change.
-
- REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\APM.SYS
-
-
- DISPLAY ADAPTERS (IMAGE, SVGA, XGA, 8514)
-
- o The OS/2 operating system will experience
- video problems similar to those observed in
- a DOS environment. These problems are due
- to the failure of a BIOS video mode set.
- An example of this problem is the video
- image on an ALR** Modular PS with a
- Flexview** 2x SVGA display fails to occupy
- the entire screen in 1024 x 768 mode.
- o If you are using an LCD display and have
- difficulty locating the mouse pointer on
- the screen, you can increase the size of
- the pointer if you are using 640x480
- resolution. To change the size of the
- pointer (if you have REXX installed):
- 1. Use an editor to create a file called
- LARGE.CMD.
- 2. Add the following information to the
- file.
-
- /* LARGE.CMD Set VGA pointers to large */
- /* (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1992, All rights reserved */
- call RxFuncAdd "SysIni", "RexxUtil", "SysIni"
- call SysIni "USER", "PM_IBMVGA", "CURSOR_SIZE", "1",
- say Result
- exit
-
- 3. Save and exit the file.
- 4. At an OS/2 command prompt, type "LARGE"
- and press Enter.
-
- This program will increase the size of the
- cursor. To force a standard size pointer,
- replace the "1" in the program with a "2".
- To let the system select the size of the
- pointer, replace the "1" in the program
- with a "0".
- o Users of the NCR** Safari notebook, SSL/25,
- should modify the following information in
- the CONFIG.SYS file on their startup drive
- to allow video register shadowing to be
- processed correctly in OS/2 2.1:
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
- to
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
-
- o Systems with Image Adapters running in
- dual-display modes will lose DOS window
- support after a DOS full-screen or OS/2
- full-screen session has been invoked. The
- system must be restarted to reinstate the
- DOS window environment. The problem can be
- avoided by turning off the dual display
- mode under the Image Adapter setup.
-
-
- SVGA CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o The Western Digital** 90C31 SVGA chipset
- will have video problems when Windows 2.x
- applications are run.
- o If you are using a ZEOS** system with
- Speedstar** VGA, you must run the VMODE
- utility supplied with the system to
- configure the display during the display
- driver installation.
- o Zenith Data Systems** with Headland HT208
- do not support high resolution modes even
- though you can successfully set these modes
- and install high resolution drivers. If a
- high resolution mode is used, a white
- half-screen will be displayed. To correct
- this problem, use DSPINSTL to install VGA.
- o If you have a Sigma Legend** display
- adapter you might experience minor video
- corruption on the desktop when you switch
- between the desktop and DOS if they are
- running in different modes. This can be
- corrected by using a DOS utility to set the
- DOS session to the same mode as the
- desktop.
-
-
- XGA CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o If an XGA-2 adapter is installed, and you
- have modified the default display type in
- the System Settings notebook (page 2),
- after you restart the system it will
- display the Workplace Shell* in one
- resolution and WIN-OS/2 in a different
- resolution. To change the resolution for
- the Workplace Shell:
- 1. Open OS/2 System.
- 2. Open System Setup.
- 3. Open System.
- 4. Select a 640x480xn resolution.
- 5. Shutdown and restart the system.
- 6. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
- 7. Select the desired resolution.
- 8. Shutdown and restart the system.
-
- The Workplace Shell and WIN-OS/2 will now
- display in the same resolution.
- o If you are using a dual display system with
- XGA as the primary display and VGA as the
- secondary display, you might see some minor
- corruption when the XGA display is set to a
- resolution with 65536 colors. This
- corruption will be on the display that does
- not have focus and will not interfere with
- the operation of the system.
- o On dual display configurations with XGA-2
- as the primary display and VGA as the
- secondary display, the DOS full-screen
- session might be corrupted if a Windows**
- application is started in a window session.
- To recover from this situation, shutdown
- and restart the system.
- o If you are using Dual Boot with an XGA-2
- adapter, you must modify the CONFIG.DOS
- file:
- 1. Edit the \OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.DOS file.
- 2. Locate the line
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 2048
- X=nnnn-nnnn
- 3. Change nnnn-nnnn to C000-CFFF.
- 4. Save and exit the file.
- o On IBM P75 systems, there might be some
- corruption on the screen whenever several
- icons are selected and moved together.
- This corruption can be eliminated by
- clicking mouse button 2 to bring up the
- pop-up menu; then selecting Sort.
- o An IBM P75 system with an external monitor
- attached might only have the 640x480x16
- resolution selection on the the System
- Settings Screen page. If the external
- monitor is capable of displaying higher
- resolutions, use the P75 reference diskette
- to disable the built-in plasma display.
- o If you are using an XGA system, the hash
- lines around the icons of open applications
- might change color unexpectedly. This does
- not interfere with the operation of the
- system.
- o If you are using an XGA system, extra lines
- might appear on the face of the OS/2 System
- Clock between the quarter (:15) and half
- (:30) hour. These lines do not interfere
- with the operation of the clock.
-
-
- 8514 CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o If you are using the 1MB version of an
- ATI** Graphics Ultra** Pro adapter, the VGA
- memory must be set to SHARED to work
- properly with the OS/2 8514 display driver.
- This might cause some DOS applications
- running in the background to corrupt the
- desktop. To correct this problem, you must
- upgrade to the 2MB version of the Graphics
- Ultra Pro and set the VGA memory to 256K or
- greater.
-
- NOTE: In the "OS/2 Installation Guide", it
- states that the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro must
- be configured to IBM DEFAULT for the
- 640x480 display type. This setting might
- be referred to as 60Hz rather than IBM
- DEFAULT.
- o If you are using a system with an 8514
- adapter with Windows applications running
- in a WIN-OS/2 window session in separate
- VDMs, video corruption might occur in
- bitmaps when clipping between applications.
- o After you start a WIN-OS/2 window session,
- 256 color bitmaps might become discolored
- due to the sharing of the 256 color
- palette. This should not affect the
- running of the applications.
- o Selecting windows in Mathematica might not
- bring focus to the proper window.
-
-
- AUDIO ADAPTERS
-
- Audio support in WIN-OS/2 and DOS sessions is
- dependent on installed drivers. You should
- install the audio adapter driver that came with
- your audio adapter. When installing audio
- support for WIN-OS/2, be sure to install both
- DOS and Windows device drivers. Configure
- both drivers to use the same interrupt level and
- DMA channel.
-
- o The following drivers are available with
- the Audio Capture and Playback Adapter*
- (ACPA):
- - ACPADD.SYS
- - ACPADD2.SYS
- - ACPAK12.SYS
- - ACPA.DRV
- The latest updates are available on the IBM
- Bulletin Board Service.
- o MMPM/2 installs ACPA support for OS/2 only,
- not WIN-OS/2 or DOS.
-
- There are two ways to get DOS ACPA support
- in DOS sessions:
- 1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 2. Add DEVICE=C:\ACPAK12.SYS
- 3. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 4. Copy the ACPAK12.SYS file to the C:\
- directory.
- 5. Restart the system to activate the
- changes.
-
- Or
- 1. Point to the DOS full-screen or window
- object.
- 2. Click mouse button 2.
- 3. Select the arrow to the right of Open.
- 4. Select Settings.
- 5. Select the Session tab.
- 6. Select DOS Settings.
- 7. Select DOS_DEVICE.
- 8. Type C:\ACPAK12.SYS in the Value field.
- 9. Select Save.
- 10. Double-click on the title-bar icon to
- close the notebook.
- 11. Copy the ACPAK12.SYS file to the C:\
