OS/2 ---- These drivers are designed to function with the OS/2 Version 3.0 and 2.1x operating systems. Hardware -------- These drivers support Chips & Technologies 65545 and 65548 graphics chips in a VL or ISA Bus configuration. Driver installation =================== Before installation of this display driver, the system display should be set to VGA mode. VGA is the default video mode enabled when OS/2 is installed. If the current system primary display is not VGA, or if a previous version of this driver is being used, the system should first be returned to VGA mode. To restore VGA mode, use Selective Install and select VGA for Primary Display. For more information on this procedure, see the section on Changing Display Adapter Support in the OS/2 Users Guide. To install this driver, do the following steps: Step 1: Open an OS/2 full screen or windowed session. Step 2: Place the CHIPS 65545 Display Driver Diskette in drive A. Type A: to make this the default drive. Type INSTALL A: C: where A: is the floppy disk drive and C: is the hard disk partition containing \OS2 Once the Install Program is completed, do a system shutdown and reboot. A log of the information output during the install can be found in :\OS2\INSTALL\CTINSTL.LOG Step 3: After the system has rebooted, do the following depending on which version of OS/2 is installed: A) OS/2 2.1x Open an OS/2 full-screen or windowed session. At the OS/2 prompt, type DSPINSTL to install the new device driver and configure the video system. B) OS/2 Version 3 Open the System Setup folder and run Selective Install to install the new device driver and configure the video system. Follow the instructions on the screen to set up the OS/2 display drivers in your system. First, select Primary Display from the System Configuration Window. From the list of Primary Display Adapter Types, select Chips and Technologies 65545 and then select OK. After the install program has completed, the display driver will be initialized for 640x480x256 Color. Shutdown and then reboot the system for the installed changes to take effect. To switch to a different video resolution or color depth, do the following: Change Video Resolution ======================= Step 4: To change the screen resolution or color depth: Open the System Setup folder, then open System. From the list of available screen resolutions, select a new resolution. Point to the title-bar icon and double click. See Changing Screen Resolution in OS/2 Users Guide for more information. The system must now be shut down and restarted for changes to take effect. NOTE: Always use the INSTALL.CMD for the FIRST installation of the video device drivers. Thereafter, to change video resolutions, do Step 4 above. WIN-OS/2 ======== Please note the following limitations regarding WIN-OS/2. 1. The WIN-OS/2 full screen session should be set to Enhanced Capability. The default setting is Standard Mode. If this setting is not changed, Windows will not run correctly. 2. WIN-OS/2 should be started by selecting the WIN-OS/2 Full Screen Icon in the Command Prompts folder, or with the WIN command in a DOS Full Screen or OS/2 Full Screen session. 3. Do not start WIN-OS/2 in a DOS or OS/2 Window. The system does not support the enhanced video mode being used in a window, and therefore will not run. 4. When running a full screen WIN-OS/2 session, do not use ALT-HOME to switch to Windowed DOS session. Driver diskette copy ==================== For proper installation of OS/2 drivers, all diskette copies must be properly labeled "CTDISP 1". To copy the OS/2 Display Driver Diskette, follow these instructions: Step 1: Copy all files on the OS/2 Display Driver Diskette as you normally would onto another diskette. Step 2: Place the diskette copy in drive A. At the C:\ prompt, type LABEL A: CTDISP 1 to properly label your diskette. Then store your diskette copy in a safe place.
