- This file tells how to install the Windows drivers on your computer.
-
-
- NOTE: If you select a driver that requires more video memory than is
- available in the video subsystem, Windows will not operate
- correctly. Run Windows SETUP and select a driver with the
- appropriate video subsystem memory requirement.

-
- Installing the Video Drivers and Power Management Feature Under Windows
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Graphic Installation Interface lets you easily install the Trident
- video drivers and power management feature from within Windows.
- Follow these steps:
-
- 1. First install MS Windows 3.1 using the standard IBM VGA driver.
-
- 2. Make sure Windows 3.1 is working properly. Have your Windows 3.1
- Setup diskettes on hand, as the installation process requires them.
-
- 3. Run Windows 3.1 and select the MAIN group in the Program Manager.
-
- 4. Insert the this diskette in a floppy drive, such as drive A.
-
- 5. Select FILE MANAGER in the MAIN group, then select the floppy drive
- that this diskette is in ( e.g., drive A:).
-
- 6. Double-click on the file TINSTALL.EXE, which resides in the \WIN
- subdirectory of this diskette. TINSTALL copies ALL driver files
- into a subdirectory named TRIDENT on your hard disk. If desired,
- you can use another directory name instead of the default name,
- TRIDENT. TINSTALL also copies the font files that the drivers use
- from your Windows Setup diskettes to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
-
- NOTE: TINSTALL expects to find certain font files on certain Windows
- Setup diskettes. If you have a European-language version of Windows,
- such as German, some font files are on different diskettes. When
- the program does not find a file on a diskette, a Check Diskette
- window opens. Select the "As It Was" option in this window. Then
- continue with the installation, inserting Windows Setup diskettes
- in the floppy drive in sequential order, until the program finds
- all the files it needs and finishes the installation.
-
- The program creates a program group named GRAPHICS DRIVER & UTILITIES.
- This window contains GRAPHICS SETUP and POWER MANAGEMENT icons.
- (The POWER MANAGEMENT icon occurs only on TGUI9400CXi and the later chips,
- it does not occur on the 8900/9000 series chips.)
-
- 7. Click GRAPHICS SETUP, then select VIDEO DRIVER SETUP. Select a suitable
- driver and click Setup. Follow the instructions to finish Setup.
-

-
- VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)
- -----------------------------------------------
- The POWER MANAGEMENT program, in the DRIVER & UTILITIES program group,
- is designed for energy-saving monitors that conform to the VESA Display Power
- Management Signaling (DPMS) standard. If your monitor meets the VESA
- DPMS specification, you can use POWER MANAGEMENT to decrease monitor energy
- consumption. The program offers three power-down modes:
- 1. Standby (minimum power savings)
- 2. Suspend (substantial power savings)
- 3. Off state (maximum power savings)
-
- The program monitors mouse and/or keyboard activity. When it detects no
- activity for a specified delay period, the program signals the monitor to
- enter the selected power-down mode.
-
- NOTE: 1. Be sure your monitor supports the VESA DPMS standard before using the
- POWER MANAGEMENT program. If your monitor does not support DPMS, it
- may malfunction or operate unpredictably when you enable the program.
-
- 2. Power Management Program ONLY supports TGUI9400CXi and the later
- chips, it does not run correctly on the earlier TVGA chips.
-
-
- Power Management Program Options
- --------------------------------
- Delay Time - First, DISABLE the program (click the Enable/Disable button
- at the bottom of the window so Enable shows, indicating that
- the program is Disabled). Then set a delay time, from 0 to
- 999 minutes, for each mode. The monitor first enters the
- power-down mode with the shortest delay time. When it reaches
- the next-shortest delay time, it enters the corresponding mode.
- And last, it enters the power-down mode with the longest delay
- time. We recommend that you leave OFF STATE with the longest
- delay time, because the monitor cannot enter any other mode
- from OFF STATE.
-
- Clock On/Off - Turns the delay timer display (the digital display in the
- upper left of the window) on or off. The display shows only
- when the program is ENABLED.
-
- Clock Alarm - When the alarm is set, the computer beeps for 5 seconds before
- entering a power-down mode.
-
- Touch Types - Selects which device(s) to monitor for activity. The delay
- timer will reset to the specified delay time when activity is
- detected on the selected device(s).
-
- Password - After you select a password and ENABLE the option, you must enter
- your password before the monitor can exit any power-down mode it
- has entered. USE THIS FEATURE WITH CARE! If you forget the
- password, you may be "locked in" at one power down mode.
-
-
- Auto Start/ - Auto Start automatically loads the program in a minimized icon
- Uninstall at the bottom of the Windows desktop each time you start Windows.
- Uninstall cancels the automatic start feature. Keep in mind that
- the button label is the OPPOSITE of the active state.
-
- Test - Lets you test the sequence of power-down modes.
-
- Enable/ - Enables or disables the Power Management program. Keep in mind
- Disable that the button label is the OPPOSITE of the active state.
-
- Exit - Closes the program window.
-
-
-
- Selecting a Driver Through Windows SETUP
- ----------------------------------------
- If you don't want the GRAPHICS DRIVER & UTILITIES program group in your
- Windows Program Manager, you can select a high-resolution driver with
- Windows SETUP.
-
- 1. First install MS Windows 3.1 using the standard IBM VGA driver.
-
- 2. Make sure Windows 3.1 is working properly. Exit Windows.
-
- 3. Change to your Windows 3.1 directory (e.g., c:\WINDOWS).
-
- 4. At the DOS prompt, type SETUP. When the program opens, highlight
- the Display field under System Information.
-
- 5. Insert this disk in your floppy drive and select the display driver
- option "Other (requires diskette...)".
-
- 6. When prompted, enter the path of this disk (e.g., A:\WIN).
-
- 7. Select a suitable driver.
-
- 8. Follow the program instructions to finish SETUP.
-
-
-
-
- Installing the Trident Drivers Over a Network
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- You cannot install Windows drivers on a network with SETUP/N, using the
- SETUP method described previously. The driver files are not copied
- correctly to the network Windows directory or the local Windows directory,
- because the standard SETUP program uses Microsoft COMPRESS to expand
- the compressed files, while SETUP/N does not.
-
- Here is the solution:
-
- 1. Expand the five Windows 3.1 disks to your network Windows
- directory, following the directions in "Getting Started with
- Microsoft Windows," pages 6-9.
-
- 2. Use the same method to expand the Trident Windows drivers
- to the same network Windows directory.
-
- 3. Run SETUP/N to install Windows, following the directions in the
- "Getting Started" manual. Select "Other" as the Trident Video Driver.
-
- 4. Enter the path of the TRIDENT drivers (i.e., your Windows
- network directory).
-
- 5. Select a suitable TRIDENT driver.
-
- 6. Follow the program instructions to finish SETUP/N.
