Er zijn veel meer mensen die problemen hebben met de Stealth 64, gelukkig zijn
er ook mensen die een oplossing vinden ;-)

Hardware

Diamond Stealth 64 VL with 2 meg VRAM. Diamond Stealth 64 PCI with 4 meg VRAM.

Problem

S3 drivers supplied with Warp do not drive some Diamond Stealth 64 cards
properly.


Fix

1. ftp the files 964os1.zip and 964os2.zip from hobbes.nmsu.edu, in the
/os2/2_1/drivers directory.

2. Unzip each file to its own 1.44 floppy, and use the LABEL command to label
the floppies S3 DRV1 and S3 DRV2.

3. Run the S64MODE.exe command, which is on floppy #1.

4. Edit the S3INST.CMD (which is on both floppies) and change all references to
\OS2 directory to read \OS2\BOOT.

5. Run the S3INST.CMD on floppy #1. Syntax is S3INST a: d: (where d: is the
os/2 boot drive)

6. Reboot when prompted to do so.

7. Open OS/2 System, System Setup, Selective Install (NOT Device Driver Install
as the readme says)

8. At the selective install menu, click on Primary display, scroll to the top
of the selections, and select 32 Bit S3 Display Drivers v2.4.

9. Click on OK.

10. At next screen, click on Install.

11. The next screen (for me) offers I:\os2image as default. Change that to read
A:\ and click on install.

12. Select either "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" or "Install using
Display Adapter Utility Program."

13. When it says "Insert the diskette with the following label into Drive A:
"S3 Display Driver Diskette 2", insert the diskette that you previously
labelled S3DRV2, and click on OK.

14. Insert MS Windows diskettes as prompted. This was 1, 5, and 6 for me.

15. Reboot when prompted.

16. Open OS/2 System, System Setup, System, and select the screen page of the
settings notebook. You should now have a number of choices for screen
resolution. I like 1280x1024x256.

17. Select desired resolution, close notebook, and reboot.
