Everex Viewpoint (EV-678)
Operating System/2 Presentation Manager Extended Driver
-------------------------------------------------------
Viewpoint can display Operating System/2's (OS/2) Presentation Manager
interface in extended resolutions. To do this, you must install the
correct driver as described below.
Note: Since only OS/2 version 1.10 has this interface, this driver
will not work with the earlier 1.00 version of OS/2.
The Viewpoint OS/2 driver works with the following versions of OS/2:
Everex OS/2 Version 1.10
Microsoft OS/2 Version 1.10
IBM OS/2 Version 1.10
Installing OS/2 Driver
----------------------
Note: The following procedure assumes that you have already installed
OS/2 for a VGA card.
1. Start up OS/2. Insert the Viewpoint utility diskette in Drive A.
From the OS/2 full-screen command prompt or the OS/2 windowed command
prompt, switch to Drive A.
2. At the A prompt, switch to the OS/2 directory by typing:
CD \OS2 [ENTER]
3. For a directory of Everex supported resolutions, type:
DIR *.CMD [ENTER]
4. Type the desired resolution and press [Enter]. For example,
type:
800x600 [ENTER]
5. Change to Drive C and switch to the OS/2 install directory by typing:
C: [ENTER]
CD \OS2\INSTALL [ENTER]
6. Now type:
DDINSTAL [ENTER]
Your screen will display the following message:
Insert the Device Support diskette in drive A and press Enter when
ready.
7. Make sure that the Viewpoint utility diskette is still in Drive
A and press [Enter]. Your screen will display the following
message:
Installation of the Device Support diskette is not complete. To continue,
insert the OS/2 Installation Diskette in drive A; then press Enter.
8. Remove the Viewpoint utility diskette from Drive A and insert the
OS/2 Installation diskette. Press [Enter]. Your screen will
display the following message:
Press simultaneously CTRL, ALT, DEL keys to restart the system.
9. With the OS/2 Installation diskette still in Drive A, simultaneously
press the [Ctrl] [Alt] [Del] keys.
Your screen will display the following message:
The Device Support Driver is installed. Remove the diskette from drive
A. Press simultaneously the CTRL, ALT, DEL keys to restart the system.
10. Remove the OS/2 Installation diskette from Drive A, and simultaneously
press the [Ctrl] [Alt] [Del] keys.
Viewpoint's OS/2 driver is now installed, and OS/2 will now boot using
the extended mode when displaying Presentation Manager.
