OS2FIX.EXE v1.5 Docs..
Ok, well this is a quick hack to help with people experiencing the S3-video
driver bug in OS/2 Warp 2 Beta. The bug seems to be in a DOS session only,
keep this little TSR loaded at all times, and when your screen becomes "out of
sync" or all distorted, press Alt-PrintScr (SysReq on 84-key keyboards) to
clear it up.. it's the best I can do for now.. until IBM makes a fix for us!
It takes about 20k of RAM in your DOS session, it will work with distorted
windowed sessions too. If you have any questions, you can catch me on the IRC
in the OS/2 channel under Luckyy, or mail me Luckyy@officepc.eznet.net
(BTW: for some reason you cannot load this "high", you can try, but it tells
me 'Bad environment')
* Warning: This is for *TEXT* modes only!! Don't hit the hot-key in a graphics
program!
Known video cards showing this bug:
o Almost all S3-chip based video cards, Diamons Stealth's, #9 GXE's, etc.
Legal Stuff: The author of this program cannot be held responsible for any
damages that may occur due to the use of this program.
Technical specs: Written in Borland Pascal 7 (EASY to do TSRs in Pascal 7 :),
chains into int 15h
Bug fix(s) in this version:
o Wasn't restoring graphical mouse cursors & fonts... fixed!
o Was hooking a few interrupts it shouldn't have... fixed!
Known bugers:
o The "blink" bit is not restored right, any one know how I can do that?
