Driver Installation Instructions (Windows 3.1)
----------------------------------------------
These instructions assume Windows** is already installed and this is the
first time you are installing the driver. If you previously installed
the driver and want to change the resolution of your display, please see
"Changing Your Mode of Operation" later in the file.
If you have not already installed the DMQS files and VESA SVGA BIOS extension,
select the first option on the main menu of this installation program to get to
the VESA SVGA BIOS Extension menu. Then follow the prompts to install the DMQS
files and BIOS extension, and reboot your computer.
To install the driver:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. If you are running Windows, exit Windows.
3. At a DOS prompt in the Windows directory (for example \WINDOWS),
type SETUP and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen.
4. At the panel that describes your system configuration, use the cursor-
control keys to highlight "Display"; then press Enter. A list of
display adapters appears.
5. Use the cursor-control keys to highlight "Other (Requires disk provided
by a hardware manufacturer)"; then press Enter.
6. When prompted to insert the display device driver diskette provided by
the hardware manufacturer, change the prompt area to A:\WINV31. Insert
the Local Bus Graphics Device Drivers for DOS and Windows diskette in
drive A and press Enter.
7. You are directed to select "IBM Enhanced Local Bus Graphics V1.00."
Press Enter to continue.
8. If you are installing the display power-management drivers, use the
cursor-control keys to highlight "Computer"; then press Enter. A
list appears.
9. Highlight "MS-DOS System with APM"; then press Enter.
10. At the Windows Setup menu, press Enter. Follow the instructions on
the screen.
NOTE: Resolution options are available once you start Windows. Select the
Graphics Setup icon in the Windows Control Panel to configure your
desired mode of operation. Windows Setup should not be used for this
purpose after the initial installation.
Changing Your Mode of Operation
-------------------------------
Once you have installed your device driver, you can change the display setup
for Windows from the Windows Control panel as follows:
1. While running Windows, double-click on the Windows 3.1 Control Panel
icon. Double-click on the Graphics Setup icon. A list of all the
valid resolutions for your display type and graphics hardware will
appear.
2. Select the desired resolution for Windows 3.1. (WARNING: An incorrect
display selection above can produce resolutions that your display cannot
support.) A list of all the valid number of colors for the selected
resolution will appear.
3. Select the desired number of colors for the Windows desktop. (A gray
number means that your display supports the selection, but you must
first select a lower resolution.)
4. Select the desired font size for the Windows desktop. The default is a
small-sized font at resolutions of 800x600 and lower, and a large-sized
font at resolutions above 800x600.
5. Click on the OK button to save any changes made with Graphics Setup,
or on the Cancel button to discard any changes.
NOTE: When changing displays, first do the above steps; then connect the
new display. If your Windows display is out of sync, first try
deleting the file, SETUP.PRO, in your XVA (DMQS) directory. If you
still have a problem, run Windows SETUP.EXE and select "IBM Enhanced
Local Bus Graphics V1.00"; then follow the above steps to configure
your display.
