- 11/01/94
-
- ================================================================
- VIDEO GOES OUT OF SYNC OR A BLURRED STRIP APPEARS ACROSS
- THE TOP OF THE DESKTOP USING TSENG ET4000 ADAPTERS IN SVGA.
- ================================================================
- Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS:
-
- The display looses sync or a blurred strip appears across the
- desktop. This can happen when you start the stystem or when
- switching between full screen sessions.
-
- RESOLUTION:
-
- - Make sure the BIOS is at the latest revision and the batch #
- on the chipset is TC6059AF or higher.
- - Run the display adapter utility that came with the adapter
- card to set the proper refresh rates for your montior.
- - Regenerate the SVGADATA.PMI file.
-
- PROCEDURES:
-
- 1. Make sure the batch # on the chipset is TC6059AF or higher
- and make sure the bios is at the latest revision, for
- example, Diamond's should be at least 4.23.
- 2. Use RSPDSPI to set video mode back to VGA. This step is
- necessary if the desktop is not usable. If the desktop can
- be used in SVAG, go to step 6.
- 3. Open a DOS full screen session and run SVAG ON.
- 4. Exit the DOS full screen.
- 5. Open an OS/2 full screen session and run DSPINSTL to
- install the SVGA drivers.
- DO NOT SHUT DOWN WHEN PROMPTED!
- Note: For OS/2 for Windows use Selective Install instead of
- DSPINSTL.
- 6. Open a DOS full screen session and run the display adapter
- utility that came with the display adapter card. For
- example, Diamond's utility is called VMODE. 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. Run SVGA ON to regenerate the SVGADATA.PMI file.
- 8. Exit the DOS fullscreen.
- 9. Shutdown and restart the system.
