A) What's new?
==============
The installation of the OS/2 driver for SPEA V7 graphic boards has now
been simpified. In order to enable more comfortable use of the driver
under OS/2 we have included a new tool, V7SETOS2.
The installation is quite different to this previous description in the
manuals and README files.
B) Properties of the Driver
===========================
This driver supports the following resolutions and color depth in the
OS/2 Workplace Shell and Win-OS/2 session:
640 * 480 * 256 colors
800 * 600 * 256 colors
1024 * 768 * 256 colors
C) Requirements for Installation
================================
OS/2 has to be installed and runs with standard VGA driver or and older
BigBlue driver with the V7-VEGA PLUS board in the OS/2 environment as
well.
Note: You need the V7-VEGA PLUS "Drivers for Windows" Disk for the
installation.
D) Installation of the OS/2 Drivers
===================================
1. (Only when drivers are downloaded from mailbox)
Extract the files to an 1.44MB floppy a name this disk "V7-VEGA PLUS
BigBlue".
A disk label is NOT necessary any longer.
2. Start OS/2.
Important: before beginning the installation shut down any running
OS/2 and Windows programs!
Open a fullscreen session or an OS/2 window. Put the disk labelled
"V7-VEGA PLUS Drivers for OS/2" in drive A: and enter:
A:\V7SETOS2
(Only for floppy disk installation, does not apply to CD ROM install.)
Follow the instructions on the screen and if unsure at any point,
call the online help.
After terminating the program and restarting OS/2 you have access to
the OS/2 desktop and seamless Windows with the BigBlue driver and
to Windows via the BigWin driver in the resolution and color depth
that you selected.
E) Changing the resolution under OS/2 and Win-OS/2
==================================================
After you have installed BigBlue a new folder named "SPEA/V7" will be
created on your desktop with the V7SETOS2 program icon. After starting
this program you can change the resolution or color depth before restarting
your system to initialize the changes.
F) Known Restrictions
=====================
1. Sometimes it can occure that seamless Windows can not be started
when the resolution has been changed. In this case reconfigure to
standard VGA and repeat the complete driver installation.
2. If you have reconfigured your system to VGA and you had installed
the V7-VEGA PLUS drivers before you have to repeat the whole installation.
Please note that it is not enough to start the program V7SETOS2 from
the SPEA/V7 folder again.
