------------------------------------------------------------
2. Installation using INCONTROL TOOLS/Multi Monitor features
------------------------------------------------------------
The program calls stated below refer to the installation from the
installation diskette.
Insert the Viper 330 Multi-Monitor Diskette into drive A:. Select the
menu item 'Run' from the Start Menu. Then enter:
a:\install
2.1 Choosing a Monitor
-----------------------
Please be aware that you can only take full advantage of the features
provided by the Viper 330 Multi-Monitor driver if the other components
of your system, especially the graphic monitor that is being used, also
comply with the specifications of the Viper 330.
(Example : The resolution 1280x1024 that is supported by the Viper 330
can obviously not be used with a monitor that is
specified to only support resolutions up to 1024x768).
To set the display resolution and refresh rate for Windows NT 4, use
Display Properties Settings.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Only use settings that your monitor supports. If you use the monitor
outside the specified ratings then it may suffer permanent damage!
If you change the monitor then you must compare the ratings first
and should reconfigure accordingly!
2.2 Known Restrictions
---------------------
The Viper 330 Multi-Monitor driver only works with the Windows NT 4
operating system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3.Installation Notes NOT using INCONTROL TOOLS/Multi monitor features
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You must have Windows NT 4.0 installed with the Standard VGA driver (640x480x16)
before you install the Diamond Viper V330 Series NT 4.0 drivers. If you
are running a different graphics mode please re-configure for Standard VGA.
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
3.1 Once you have confirmed that you are running in Standard VGA, place the
Diamond Viper V330 Series Windows NT 4.0 diskette into your
diskette drive.
3.2 Select the menu item 'Run' from the Start Menu. Then enter:
A:\INSTALL
(Where A: is the drive letter of your diskette drive). Follow the
instructions to install the NT 4.0 drivers and at the end you will be
prompted to reboot your system.
Note that the default resolution that installed is 640x480x8 60Hz.
4. Known Issues
---------------
a. Diamond supports up to 4 PCI boards/monitors.
b. OpenGL Conformance Test: this test may show "Buffer Variance Tests" fail

show up where there are fairly steep changes in color or texture coordinates.
Visually it can't be detected, but can be tested for.
