must be named DISP_1, e.g. xcopy a: c:\disp_1
2. invoke an OS/2 window session or an OS/2 full screen session

Additional notes:
-----------------
dspinstl.exe calls svga.exe to identify the SVGA chip before proceeding with
installation. The svga.exe shipped with OS/2 2.1 does not recognize GD5428.
clinst21.cmd will update svga.exe before calling dspinstl.exe so that GD5428
will be identified. Subsequent installation of Cirrus display drivers or
modification of display resolutions can be performed using the dspinstl.exe
directly.
5) Known Restrictions
=====================
- Function 'Help' in display device installation/-selection menu can not
be activated - installation with default values.
