- Files included in this package:
-
- ATI0$.SYS
- BVH8514A.DLL
- DISPLAY.DLL
- README.1ST
-
- This is a modified OS/2 1.3 PM driver for OS/2 2.0 for people who has the ATI
- 8514/Ultra, Graphics Ultra or Graphics Vantage card.
-
- A ring 0 device driver is included to allow non-standard 8514/A resolutions:
- 640x480 and 800x600. The ring 0 driver is OS/2 2.0 specific and will not
- load under OS/2 1.3.
-
- At 1024x768, it is recommended you use the 8514/A driver provided by OS/2 2.0.
- The ATI driver at 1024x768 is slower and doesn't show the busy clock (hour
- glass is shown).
-
- To install, make a directory call C:\ATIPM (assuming C: is your boot
- drive), and unpack all files into there. Then make the following changes
- in your CONFIG.SYS:
-
- Add: (at the beginning of CONFIG.SYS is fine)
-
- SET ATI_RES=1024x768
- DEVICE=C:\ATIPM\ATI0$.SYS
- SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_ATI_ULTRA
- SET VIO_ATI_ULTRA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVH8514A)
-
- Add the ATIPM path in your LIBPATH:
-
- LIBPATH=.;C:\ATIPM;...
-
- REM out:
-
- REM SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_8514A
- REM SET VIO_8514A=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVH8514A)
-
- Keep:
-
- SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE=(BVHSVGA) ; if VGA portion is SuperVGA
- or
- SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE=(BVHVGA) ; if VGA portion is regular VGA
-
- DEVINFO=SCR,BGA,C:\OS2\VIOTBL.DCP
-
-
- Also make sure the V8514A.SYS is loaded. ie:
- DEVICE=G:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS ; use VVGA.SYS if this is regular VGA passthru'
- DEVICE=G:\OS2\MDOS\V8514A.SYS
-
-
- You can select other resolutions by changing ATI_RES=800x600 or
- ATI_RES=640x480.
-
-
- Reboot system for the changes to take into effect.
-
- If you're using SuperVGA (the VGA on Graphics Ultra/Vantage is SVGA), make
- sure you run SVGA ON in a DOS full-screen after rebooting.

- Happy OS/2ing...Albert
