Installation Instructions
S3 OS/2 Driver (For OS/2 2.11, 2.1, 2.1 for Windows, and Warp)
Date: 02/06/95
Installation Considerations
1. The installation process assumes that the user knows the maximum
vertical refresh rate as well as the maximum resolution of the monitor.
2. When installing the S3 driver over a non-S3 driver (e.g., SVGA), the
standard IBM VGA driver must be installed first. This is not required if
an S3 driver is already installed.
3. The driver diskettes must be labeled "S3 DRV1"(disk 1) and "S3 DRV2"
(disk 2). If it is not labeled then the installation will fail.
4. The S3 driver will not install unless an S3 chip-based card is installed
in the machine at the time of the driver installation.
Installation Instructions
1. Make sure you have all open data files saved before continuing the S3
driver installation.
2. Make sure Win-OS/2 session and all Seamless Windows applications are
closed. (Seamless applications are windows applications that run on top of
the PM Desktop.)
3. Open an OS/2 command prompt (windowed or full screen).
4. Insert the driver diskette into the floppy drive.
5. Change to the floppy drive (A: or B:) into which you have inserted
driver disk #1. Verify that the diskette is labeled "S3 DRV1" (do the
same for disk #2). If it is not labeled then type "label S3 DRV1" or
"label S3 DRV2".
6. Type S3INST A: C: and press "Enter". ("A" is the floppy drive; "C"
is the drive where OS/2 is installed. If OS/2 is installed on a different
drive, then use that letter instead).
Note: You may see an error message stating could not locate files. Please
ignore this message.
7. When prompted, insert Disk #2. It must be labeled "S3 DRV2".
8. When prompted, exit the OS/2 command prompt, remove the floppy disk
from drive, and shutdown and reboot system.
8a. After bootup, open an OS/2 command prompt (windowed or full screen).
Insert the floppy disk containing the updated SVGA.EXE. Copy this file
into the \OS2 subdirectory of your OS2 drive.
9. When OS/2 is up, insert disk 1 (S3 DRV1) into the floppy drive.
10. Double click on the the "OS/2 System" icon.
11. Double click on the "System Setup" icon.
12. Double click on the "Display Driver Install" icon.
13. When prompted by the Display Driver Install dialog, select Primary
Display and then click the OK button.
14. Select the "32 Bit S3 Display Drivers" option from the Primary Display
Adapter Type dialog and click the OK button.
15. Select the appropriate option from the Monitor Configuration/Selection
Utility dialog, and click the
OK button. Select "Default" if it is an S3 BIOS that was not modified by
the OEM.
THE SCREEN WILL TEMPORARILY FLASH AND GO BLACK. PLEASE WAIT FOR THE SOURCE
DIRECTORY DIALOG TO APPEAR.
16. The Source Directory dialog will be displayed. Set the source directory
to the location of disk 1 (S3 DRV1). Double click on the "Install" button.
17. Insert disk 2 (S3 DRV2) into the floppy drive when prompted.
18. The Installation Program may pause and display prompts to overwrite
certain files. Please answer YES for each file.
19. You will be given a message stating that you "Must Shutdown and Restart
your system for the changes to take effect". Click the OK button.
20. Remove the driver diskette from the floppy drive.
21. Shut down and reboot system.
Note: You can double click the "System" Icon in the System Setup to
change resolution before shutting down.
After you reboot, your system will come up with your newly installed driver.
To Change Resolution:
22. To switch resolutions, double click on the "System" icon in the System
Setup Folder.
23. Highlight the resolution and close the dialog.
24. Shut down and reboot.
