- TITLE: DIAMOND SPEEDSTAR PRO W/ CIRRUS LOGIC 5428 CHIPSET HAS
- PROBLEM LOADING OUR OS/2 2.1 GENERIC SVGA DRIVERS.
-
- DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
-
- Selective install or dspinstl for svga fails. OS2 will not
- properly identify the chipset.
-
- SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
-
- 1. Download the latest s3-16m.dsk file from the BBS. It is on
- the IBM BBS, CompuServe, and the internet.
- 2. Follow the README and run s3inst.exe.
- 3. Shutdown the system and reboot.
- 4. Refer to page 114 of the install guide to run DSPINSTL.
- 5. OS2 should now properly identify the chipset as a cirrus logic
- 5428.
-
- NOTE: Do not change the chipset selection to s3. You are not
- using the s3 drivers only the KRNL patch provided by the
- package. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO XR06200 CODE AND ABOVE.
-
- 6. If you are downloading from the BBS, get LDF.COM as well and
- do the following:
- a. In an OS/2 session type "LDF.COM S3-16M.DSK"(his will extract
- loaddskf.exe).
- b. Then type "LOADDSKF S3-16M.DSK A:" and insert a formatted high
- density diskette in floppy drive A:
- c. As per README file, do S3INSTL and shut down and re-boot the
- system.
- d. Follow instruction on page 114 of the install guide for
- "dspinstl". The cirrus logic chip should now be
- identified(not s3).
