- TITLE: VIDEO GOES OUT OF SYNC OR A BLURRED STRIP APPEARS
- ACROSS THE TOP OF THE DESKTOP USING TSENG ET4000 ADAPTERS
- IN SVGA.
-
- DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
-
- The display screen will loose sync or a blurred strip
- appears across the desktop. This can happen on boot up or
- when switching between full screen sessions.
-
- SUMMARY OR RESOLUTION:
-
- 1. Make sure the BIOS is at it latest revision and the
- batch # on the chipset is TC6059AF or higher. Then run the
- display adapter utility that come w/ the adapter card to
- set the proper refresh rates for your monitor. Next,
- regenerate the svgadata.pmi file.
-
- DETAILS OF RESOLUTION: 1. Make sure the batch # on the
- chipset is TC6059AF or higher and make sure the BIOS is at
- its latest revision as well(Diamond's should be at least
- 4.23).
- 2. Use "RSPDSPI" to set video mode back to vga.This
- step is not always necessary but if the desktop is not
- useable it must be done. If the desktop can be used go to
- step 6.
- 3. Open a DOS full screen session and run "svga on".
- 4. Then exit.
- 5. Open an OS2 full screen session and run "DSPINSTL"
- to install the svga drivers. DO NOT SHUT DOWN WHEN
- PROMPTED!
- 6. Open a DOS full screen session and run the display
- adapter utility that came w/ the display adapter
- card. Diamond's utility is called "vmode". With
- this utility you will set the refresh rates for your
- monitor. The higher you set the refresh the better the
- performance of your monitor but do not exceed the
- limitations of the monitor(See the specifications).
- 7. Regenerate the svgadata.pmi file by running "svga
- on".
- 8. Exit DOS fullscreen.
- 9. Shutdown and reboot the system.
-
- NOTE: For OS2 FOR WINDOWS use SELECTIVE INSTALL instead of
- DSPINSTL in step 5.
