SPEEDSTAR 24X & CTX 5648NI MONITOR 6/02/94
File:SPEED24.fax
TITLE: DIAMOND SPEEDSTAR 24X DISPLAY ADAPTER CARD AND A
CTX 5648NI MONITOR ARE IMPROPERLY IDENTIFIED BY OS/2 AS AN
8514/A ADAPTER AND A SONY1302 MONITOR.
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
Edit the config.sys and modify two of the video lines and
run the display adapter utility 24xmode from a DOS session.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
1. Bring the system down to vga using "RSPDSPI".
2. Edit the config.sys and make sure the following
lines read:
SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHSVGA) DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA
3. Open an OS2 session and run "DSPINSTL" to install the
svga drivers. Make sure the svga chip type is properly
identified. DO NOT SHUTDOWN WHEN PROMPTED TO!
4. Exit the OS2 session and open a DOS fullscreen
session. From there you will run the display
adapter utility program "24xmode" to set the proper
refresh rates for the monitor. The higher the refresh
rate the better the performance of the monitor but do
not exceed the monitors capabilities.
5. Run "svga on" and exit the DOS session.
6. Shutdown and reboot the system.
