Stealth Pro README.TXT
==================================================================
ATTENTION ALL USERS -- PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING
----------------------------------------------------
This is v3.00 BETA 1 of the Stealth Pro Install / Windows Drivers
disk. While this driver has completed 2 levels and over 200 hours
of compatibility testing, Diamond has not completed full testing
of these files. By using this BETA disk, you are agreeing to
accept the risks of testing Windows drivers that have known and
unknown limitations. Diamond offers NO warranty on this software.
Use at your own risk. Please backup any system critical files
before installation.
Installation Notes
------------------
Use the INSTALL file to install the Windows 3.1 drivers from DOS
or from the Windows Program Manager. It is suggested that
installation from the Windows Program Manager be done using the MS
VGA driver to eliminate any OEM files that could create a
conflict.
Once the driver launches Windows, you will be prompted to select
your monitor type. Select the brand monitor you have, compatible
type, or use the Custom Monitor Timings to create your own
configuration and custom screen centering.
STLMODE should be installed for all first-time operations. This
program controls the frequencies sent to the monitor for all
non-Windows programs and will allow the high resolution and high
color modes to syncronize correctly on your screen.
Utilities
---------
STLMODE.EXE allows selection of text modes, video emulation modes,
and monitor mode frequencies for all environments outside of DOS.
Monitor timing information is saved to the EEPROM on the Stealth
Pro and is automatically loaded on powerup or reset.
Users with monitors not conforming to the industry preset monitors
provided can select the CUSTOM MONITOR option which allows
selection of frequencies, sync polarities, and screen centering
for each video resolution and color depth. Please consult your
monitor manual for the exact capabilities of your monitor before
selecting monitor timing. We strongly urge that selection of
monitor timings in CUSTOM be made for all resolutions and color
depths.
