This diskette contains Base Video Handler for Chips F65530 VGA (BVHVGA.DLL).
It fixes the tall font problem in OS/2 text modes (extra pixels, underlining,
& similar effects). This DLL has been created and tested on OS/2 2.1.
It should work for OS/2 2.0 also.
Note: this updated driver is for use ONLY with the ThinkPad 350/350C & the
PS/Note 425/425C
Installation Procedure:
1. Install OS/2 for VGA.
2. Shutdown & then reboot the machine from the OS/2 installation diskette.
3. Insert Disk #1 when prompted & press enter. When prompted again, press
escape to halt the installation procedure & go to an OS/2 prompt (A:>).
4. Change to the drive on which OS/2 has been installed (typically C:).
5. Change directory to \OS2\DLL.
6. Rename the currrent BVHVGA.DLL to different name (such as BVHVGA.OLD).
7. Copy new BVHVGA.DLL for Chips F65530 from the diskette to \OS2\DLL
directory.
8. Remove any diskettes & reboot. The driver installation is now complete.
Additional Hints for running OS/2 on IBM ThinkPad 350 & PS/Note 425
The following changes are strongly encouraged for best operation of OS/2 on
the ThinkPad 350 & PS/Note 425:
1. Make certain that the vertical position option (in the Configuration
Utility) is set to "Expand":
- press & hold the Fn key & press the F1 key
- press PgDn once (you should be on page 2)
- check the Vertical Position setting - the best setting for OS/2 is
"Expand"
- if necessary, use the left or right arrow keys to change this option
setting
2. Change the system pointer size to 'large':
- see the OS/2 README file (typically in the root directory of your hard
file) for a description of a short REXX program which will change the
size of the system pointer (mouse pointer) for increased visibility on
LCD screens
The section heading is "DISPLAY ADAPTERS" & the program is called
LARGE.CMD
