-
-
- S3 FUNCTIONAL RESTRICTIONS
-
- ---------------------------
- After Dark** for Windows** images that move from
- left to right do not perform properly at 640x480x16M resolution.
-
- To avoid a General Protection fault while loading
- Ventura Publisher** for Windows be sure it is in one of the
- 256 color resolutions.
-
- To avoid a trap in Lotus** 1-2-3** for OS/2 do not
- attempt to run the program at 16.7 million colors.
-
- WordPerfect** 5.1 and 5.2 for Windows produce a
- general protection fault when the "Print Preview"
- option is selected while using
-
- 800x600x64K or 600x480x16 million color mode.
-
- Users of the software motion video feature of MMPM/2
- should expect satisfactory results in 256-color modes.
- However, in 64K-color modes, users of the feature will
- experience unusual MMPMCS results. The software motion
- video feature is not supported in 16 million color modes.
-
- In addition, the software motion video feature will
- take advantage of a 1MB aperture on video adapters and
- systems where it is available to improve the performance
- of video playback in 64K-color modes. For those systems
- with nonstandard locations, the actual physical address of
- the aperture must be provided in the following CONFIG.SYS
- statement:
-
- SET VIDEO_APERTURE=xxxh
-
- Where "xxx" is a hexadecimal value in units of 1MB,
- representing the actual physical address to map to the aperture.
- For example, the IBM PS/ValuePoint Systems must have the
- statement:
-
- SET VIDEO_APERTURE=400h
-
- To use a physical address at 1GB.
-
- If you are using the 256 color mode, and your desktop
- appears to be darker than other color modes, you must
- edit the SVGADATA.PMI file located in the \OS2 directory.
-
- Change the following statement from:
-
- HI-COLOR DAC by ....
- to:
- HI-COLOR DAC by unknown
-
- To make the changes effective you must reboot your system.
