- OS/2 2.11 - README
- _________________
-
- Welcome to OS/2* 2.11. This README provides
- helpful hints found during testing as well as
- updated information that was not available at the
- time the publications were printed. It is divided
- into the following categories:
-
- o General System Considerations
- o WIN-OS/2 Application Compatibility
- o DOS Application Compatibility
- o OS/2 Application Compatibility
- o DOS and WIN-OS/2 Multimedia Application
- Compatibility
- o Network
- o Display Adapters
- o Audio Adapters
- o Printers
- o Scanners
- o Advanced Power Management Support for Portable Computers
- o Mahjongg Game
- o Trademarks
-
- A separate README file for MMPM/2 is contained
- in the MMPM/2 program.
-
-
-
- GENERAL SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o Your system .INI files might be read-only. As a result,
- the system will not update the .INI files. When this
- happens, the position of the icons will not be saved.
- To resolve this problem go to the directory where your system .INI
- files are located C:\OS2 (default). Then, type the following:
-
- ATTRIB -r *.ini
-
- Shut down your system and when it starts, your system .INI
- files are updated.
-
-
- o OS/2 2.1 uses a system proportional font
- that is designed to meet the International
- Standards Organization (ISO) 9241 standard
- and the German DIN 66234 standard on
- suitable hardware.
-
- ISO compliant fonts cause some text strings
- to be clipped. If you do not want to use
- ISO compliant fonts, modify the OS2.INI
- file to install fonts that are not ISO
- compliant. Font changes made in the
- OS2.INI file are global across all
- applications. If you have REXX installed,
- you can type the following information into
- a CMD file and use it to change the font.
-
- /* */
- call RxFuncAdd "SysIni", "RexxUtil", "SysIni"
- AppName = "PM_SystemFonts"
- KeyName = "DefaultFont"
- FontName = "10.System Proportional Non-ISO"
- call SysIni "USER", AppName, KeyName, FontName||"0"x
- exit
-
- After the file has been run, shut down and
- restart the system.
-
- o If you experience video corruption:
- - Display the pop-up menu for the
- desktop; then select Refresh to redraw
- the desktop.
- - If the screen goes blank, press Alt+Esc
- to switch between the applications to
- force repainting of the screen.
-
-
- o DOS images on the hard disk (VMBs) need to
- use the FSFILTER and FSACCESS drivers
- provided with this version of OS/2.
- FSFILTER and FSACCESS drivers are located in
- the \OS2\MDOS directory.
-
- o The Check disk option for a CD-ROM object
- will not display information about the
- CD-ROM. To obtain information about the
- CD-ROM:
- 1. Point to the CD-ROM drive object.
- 2. Click mouse button 2.
- 3. Select the arrow to the right of Open.
- 4. Select Details view.
-
- o During a system shutdown, there might be
- times when the "Shutdown is completed"
- message is not displayed. If this happens,
- wait 30 seconds until all disk activity is completed, and
- then restart the system.
-
- o If you are installing OS/2 2.11 over a
- system that has OS/2 2.0 installed, the
- desktop directory name will be "OS!2_2.0_D"
- and the title of the desktop will be "OS/2
- 2.0 Desktop". On a system that has OS/2
- 2.11 installed, the desktop directory name
- will be "Desktop".
-
- o If you have a preinstalled system, and you
- change your country or keyboard configuration
- using the Configure Preinstalled System program,
- located in the Configuration Tools folder, the
- changes occur only for OS/2 sessions.
- To configure the country and keyboard for WIN-OS/2*
- sessions, use the International icon from the
- WIN-OS/2 Control Panel.
-
- o After installing OS/2 2.11 on your system, use the
- Migrate Applications program instead of the Selective Install
- program to migrate your programs. The
- Migrate Applications program is located in the System
- Setup folder.
-
- o If you are running CHKDSK from the command line
- without the /F parameter on an HPFS partition which also
- contains your SWAPPER.DAT file, you may receive a SYS0552
- error message. This message can be ignored. If you are using
- CHKDSK from the popup menu of a drive icon, you may receive a
- WARNING message stating "The disk is in use or locked by
- another process." If this occurs, CHKDSK will not let you
- display the graphical representation of disk usage.
-
- o Added support for Boot Manager exists on a disk other than
- Disk 1. The ability to delete and re-install the Boot
- Manager requires that you exit FDISK after you delete the
- Boot Manager and re-start FDISK to install Boot Manager again.
- This is true even if you are going to place it in the same
- partition. This means you would have to re-enter the partition
- names.
-
-
- o The kernel debug diskettes shipped with the Developer's Toolkit for
- OS/2 version 2.1 will not work with OS/2 version 2.11. (The kernel
- debug files for OS/2 version 2.11 are located on the OS/2 version
- 2.11 CD-ROM. Please reference the Kernel Debugger Installation
- README file in the OS2TK21\DEBUG sub-directory on the CD for more
- information.)
-
- If you do not have access to this CD-ROM, you can retrieve the
- kernel debug files for OS/2 version 2.11 electronically through the
- IBM Personal Computer Company Bulletin Board System (PCC BBS)
- sponsored by the IBM Personal Systems Help Center in Raleigh, North
- Carolina. The PCC BBS is available 24 hours a day on a toll-call
- basis with no access charge to the bulletin board. To access the
- PCC BBS call 1-919-517-0001.
-
- Requirements for the asynchronous electronic connection to the PCC
- BBS are:
-
- * A modem that support 1200 to 14400 baud
- * Communication software that supports 8 bit file transfers
- * A switched telephone line.
-
- The modem should be set to:
-
- - eight data bits
- - one stop bit
- - no parity
- - standard transmission speed from 1200 to 14400 baud.
-
- Refer to the bulletin titled "OS/2 2.11 Kernel Debug Files" in
- file area 11 (OS/2 Programming) on the PCC BBS for downloading
- instructions once you are connected.
-
- The kernel debug files will also be available on the Developer
- Connection for OS/2 Volume 3 CD-ROM.
-
-
-
- WIN-OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
-
- o The original WIN-OS/2 color scheme was added
- to the list of available color schemes in
- the WIN-OS/2 color panel. If you change color
- schemes and would like to return to the original
- color scheme, select WIN-OS/2 Original.
-
- o The performance of Windows** programs that
- use floating point operations can be
- improved by changing the WIN-OS/2 setting
- WIN_RUN_MODE to Enhanced Compatibility.
-
- o Windows scanning programs should be run in
- a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session to avoid
- video corruption.
-
- o To ensure the integrity of 16-color bit
- maps on SVGA, XGA*, and 8514 systems, run
- Microsoft** Paint Brush in a WIN-OS/2
- full-screen session.
-
- o Some messages encountered in a WIN-OS/2
- window session request that you select
- either Ignore or Close; when, the only
- options are Ignore and OK. Select OK
- instead of Close.
-
- o If you are using a WIN-OS/2 window session,
- an OS/2 Presentation Manager** session, and a
- DOS full-screen session, Alt+Esc might not
- sequence through all of the windows
- correctly. Alt+Esc might switch to the
- WIN-OS/2 session every other time, or the
- DOS full-screen session might never be
- displayed.
-
- To avoid this problem, press Ctrl+Esc or
- press mouse buttons 1 and 2 at the same
- time to display the Window List. Then select
- the desired session.
-
- o If you are in a full-screen WIN-OS/2
- session and transparent desktop icons appear over open
- windows, minimize or maximize the window to
- force repainting.
-
- o During installation of the Windows 3.1 SDK,
- a message is displayed stating that the
- installation program cannot find
- KRNL286.EXE or KRNL386.EXE. Ignore the
- message and continue installation. The SDK
- will function normally.
-
- o If you are using the Winsleuth Gold
- hardware diagnostics program:
-
- - Do not run Chip test (a RAM test
- program). Chip test attempts to lock
- hardware interrupts. OS/2 2.1 does not
- allow programs to lock hardware
- interrupts.
-
- - When the video mode hardware test
- switches from character to graphics
- mode, a "suspended" message might
- appear. If the message appears, select
- Full-screen from the Sessions System
- menu. Testing will resume.

-
-
- WindowWorks**
- -------------
- Install in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session.
-
-
-
- DOS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
-
- o Use OS/2 system utilities. DOS system
- utilities might not recognize the extended
- attributes associated with a file.
-
- o OS/2 provides integral disk caching and
- memory optimization functions. Use of the
- equivalent functions that are provided with
- MS-DOS** 6.0 is not necessary and might produce
- errors.
-
- o It is not necessary to run SHARE.EXE in a DOS session.
- OS/2's DOS emulation provides SHARE.EXE compatible to that which
- comes with DOS versions 5.x and 6.x.
-
-
-
-
- APPLICATION NOTES:
-
- DOS Games
- ---------
- For performance reasons, play in a DOS
- full-screen session. Change the DOS setting
- VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP to OFF.
-

- Under the Program tab for the program object, set the
- Optional Parameters to NO_MEM_CHK. Under the Session Tab,
- select the DOS_SETTINGS button and set DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT to 8.
-
-
- Microsoft MSCDEX
- ----------------
- Microsoft MSCDEX.EXE will only run in an OS/2 virtual
- machine boot (VMB) session. If you are using an OS/2
- supported CD-ROM drive (your CD-ROM drive has an OS/2
- specific driver) you should be able to run your CD-ROM
- based DOS program in a virtual DOS machine (VDM) session
- without MSCDEX.EXE running, since VCDROM.SYS emulates
- MSCDEX function in a VDM. To run DOS multimedia applications,
- change the DOS_SETTING, INT_DURING_IO to ON, for the program object.
-
- Intel** SatisFAXtion**
- ----------------------
- Must be run in a specific DOS session, unless
- you do the following before you install the program:
-
- 1. Make a copy of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
- name it AUTOEXEC.FAX.
- 2. Install the program.
- 3. Rename the AUTOEXEC.BAT file FAX.BAT.
- 4. Rename the AUTOEXEC.FAX file AUTOEXEC.BAT.
- 5. Make a program object for the SatisFAXtion
- program.
- 6. Change the value of the DOS_AUTOEXEC
- setting for the object to FAX.BAT.
- 7. Save and exit the Settings notebook.
-
-
- Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 Linker
- --------------------------
- If you are using Microsoft C/C++ 7.0, configure
- the program object's DOS_SETTINGs with DPMI_DOS_API=ENABLED.
- Also, modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT being used for the session
- so that the Microsoft \C700\BIN directory is searched first.
- For example:
-
- PATH X:\C700\BIN;C:\OS2;C:\OS2\MDOS;C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2;C:\;
-
-
- Paradox V4.0
- -------------
- If you have problems running Paradox V4.0
- change the DOS setting DPMI_DOS_API = ENABLE.
-
-
- Wayne Gretsky's Hockey Game
- ---------------------------
- Not supported.
-
-
- Wing Commander** II
- -------------------
- Set HW_TIMER to OFF.
-
-
- WordPerfect V6.0
- -----------------
- If you have problems running WordPerfect V6.0
- change the DOS setting DOS_FILES = >99.
-
-
- Terminator Game
- ---------------
- Must use a joystick.
-
-
-
-
- OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
-
- o Closing OS/2 applications that use the
- hardware palette (typically picture viewers
- or sample graphic applications)
- occasionally causes a repaint problem on
- the desktop. If the windows do not repaint
- correctly, a refresh will restore the
- desktop, but any windows that are opened or
- moved will still have the problem.
- Restarting the system is the only way to
- completely correct this problem.
-
- o If you are using Lotus 123G for OS/2 or Lotus
- Freelance Graphics for OS/2, you need to run
- the following utility prior to using these
- products with OS/2 2.1.
- 1. Change to the Lotus
- directory that contains the application.
- For example, type:
-
- CD \123G
-
- 2. Back up the LD2CORE.DLL file. For
- example, type:
-
- COPY LD2CORE.DLL LD2CORE.BAK
-
- 3. Run the update program. Type:
-
- LD2FIX
-
- The Lotus program is now updated. You need to
- shut down and restart your system for these changes
- to take effect.
-
-
- APPLICATION NOTES:
-
- Communications Manager/2
- ------------------------
- When used with Host Graphics support (HGINST)
- you might experience shutdown problems.
- Ensure that the following GDDM fixes have been
- applied to the host system:
-
- UN36882 - MVS
- UN38883 - VM/SP
- UN38884 - VM/XA SP
- UN38885 - DOS/VSE
-
- CorelDRAW 2.5
- -------------
- At the end of CorelDRAW 2.5 installation, you
- might experience problems if you select one
- of the View README options. The View README
- options are "Yes" and "No".
-
- If you select Yes, CorelDRAW will not run.
- Icons will be generated. You must restart your
- system and recreate each icon, using the Migrate
- Applications program.
-
- If you select No, CorelDRAW will not run. A
- folder will appear without icons. You must
- restart your system and create each icon, using
- the Migrate Applications program.
-
- For information on the Migrate Applications
- program, refer to the OS/2 2.1 Using the
- Operating System book.
-
-
- NetView DM/2 (NVDM/2)
- ---------------------
- o If you are using the CID method of
- installation, you will need an updated version
- of the LAPSCID.DLL file. This file is
- available as LAPDLL.ZIP on the CompuServe
- OS2SUPPORT forum, Lib #17 and the OS2BBS
- on TALKLINK.
-
- o Response install running under NetView to a SVGA or
- dual display system, with the primary as 8514, must
- have 10MB or more on the target system. Actual requirements
- depend on the applications running while using the response install.
-
-
-
- IBM LAN Server 2.0 and 3.0 Remote Installation
- Program Load (RIPL)
- ----------------------------------------------
- An updated version is needed to run with OS/2 2.1.
- The diskette image is available as 2IRIPL.ZIP
- on the CompuServe OS2SUPPORT forum, Lib #17 and
- the OS2BBS on TALKLINK.
-
- IBM LAN Server DLR 2.0, 3.0
- ---------------------------
- When running WIN-OS2 in a VMboot environment, with DOS
- and IBM LAN Server DOS LAN Requester 2.0 or 3.0, the
- logoff option causes the WIN-OS2 session to freeze.
- This problem occurs when network logon is performed
- prior to entering WIN-OS2. To resolve the problem,
- do the following:
-
- - Do not use the network logoff in WIN-OS2 when running
- LAN Server DOS LAN Requester 2.0 or 3.0.
-
-
- RUMBA/400 for OS/2
- ------------------
- If you use RUMBA/400 for OS/2, you might have a more recent
- version of the MIRRORS.DLL file, located in the \OS2\DLL directory.
- The file currently shipped with OS/2 2.11 is from Micrografix
- ToolKit Ver. 3.01, ship level A51 dated 11/16/93. Before you
- begin installing this version of the operating system, you must
- backup your current MIRRORS.DLL file. After you install this
- version of the operating system, you can replace the OS/2 2.11
- level of MIRRORS.DLL with the backed up copy you previously created.
-
-
- DOS AND WIN-OS/2 MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
-
- o The following WIN-OS/2 and DOS Settings
- should be used for Multimedia applications:
-
- DOS/WIN INT_DURING_IO ON
- DOS/WIN HW_TIMER ON
- WIN VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION ON
- WIN VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP OFF
- DOS/WIN VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION OFF
- DOS DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT 8
-
-
- APPLICATIONS NOTES:
-
- Action!** 2.0
- -------------
-
- Run in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session. Change the
- following line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET TEMP=C:\
-
-
- Animation Works** 1.0
- ---------------------
- Run in 1024x768 resolution.
-
-
- IconAuthor** 4.0
- ----------------
- If you are running the demo for this program,
- you must exit and reenter the WIN-OS/2 session
- before running the actual application.
-
-
- LinkWay* Live 1.0 (Tool Series)
- --------------------------------
- Use the following DOS setting to make the demo
- run properly:
-
- DOS_RMSIZE=576
-
-
- MIDI
- ----
- Make sure that the MIDI mapper (in the Control
- Panel) and channels are properly set to
- the sound adapter.
-
-
- Nautilus** 1.6 and 1.76
- -----------------------
- Run in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session.
-
-
-
- NETWORK
-
-
- o Some systems could experience problems using Win-OS/2 with
- version 2.0 of the Novell Netware Requester on this version
- of the operating system. To correct the problems, it is necessary
- to upgrade to Novell Netware Requester for OS/2 Version 2.11.
-
- o The Workplace Shell login is not compatible
- with NetWare** 4.0 Directory Services and
- should be disabled unless you are using the
- NetWare 4.0 Bindery Compatibility mode. To
- disable the login:
- 1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 2. Remove the CONNECTIONS option from SET
- AUTOSTART.
- 3. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 4. Restart the system to activate the
- changes.
-
- o If you are using the NetWare Requester
- version 2.01 (which ships with NetWare 4.0) but
- have no NetWare 4.0 servers, you can
- increase the speed of the login process by
- turning the Directory Services off. To
- turn the services off:
- 1. Edit NET.CFG file in the root directory
- of the boot drive.
- 2. Add "Directory Services Off" to the file.
- 3. Save and exit the file.
-
- o Novell** NetWare Requester 2.0 and 2.01
- programs NMPIPE.SYS, NPSERVER.SYS, and
- NPDAEMON.EXE require that
- information be added to the OS2VER file.
- To add this information to the file:
- 1. At an OS/2 command prompt, type: ATTRIB
- -h -r -s OS2VER
- 2. Edit the OS2VER file in the root
- directory of the boot drive.
- 3. Type the following information in the
- file:
-
- 20=NMPIPE.SYS
- 20=NPSERVER.SYS
- 20=NPDAEMON.EXE
-
- 4. Save and exit the file.
- 5. Type ATTRIB +h +r +s OS2VER
-
- o If you are using FFST/2 (for example, if
- you enable the FFST/2 feature when
- installing Communications Manager/2 or Data
- Base Manager/2), REM out the
- "RUN=...\EPW.EXE" statement in your
- CONFIG.SYS file. To utilize FFST/2
- technology, add a "DETACH EPW.EXE" as the
- first statement in your STARTUP.CMD file.
-
- o NetWare Client for OS/2 uses a default frame type of 802.2
- on Ethernet networks. This is a change from the previous
- default frame type of 802.3. Some routers do not support
- Ethernet 802.2 frame types. If you are having difficulty
- connecting to your server, add 802.2 Ethernet frame support
- at the server, and ensure your router has the latest revision
- of software.
-
- o When using NetWare Client version 2.10 for OS/2, it is
- important to load NETX.EXE into both global and private DOS
- sessions. The NetWare Client installation program can modify
- AUTOEXEC.BAT and any other DOS_AUTOEXEC files you specify.
- You must also change the DOS_LASTDRIVE setting for each DOS
- session to the last local drive on your system.
-
- o The Virtual Loadable Module (VLM) version of the NetWare
- DOS Client kit can be run in a DOS 5 or 6 VMB session under
- OS/2 in either global or private mode. Use DOSVIPX to allow
- sharing of the network adapter. This allows limited access
- to NetWare 4.0x Directory Services in a DOS VMB session.
-
- o The Novell file system fails to recognize LPT4 through LPT9
- print devices and creates a disk full file instead. Copy or
- pipe to \DEV\LPTx might function as a workaround or drag and drop
- using the Workplace Shell.
-
- o Pressing Ctrl-C in a NetWare utililty, running in a DOS session,
- might cause a SYS3175 error and the session to fail. The
- application will abort properly. If you still require a session
- start a new one.
-
- o Using a wildcard with the ATTRIB command can produce erratic
- results. Use NDIR or FLAG instead.
-
- o WIN-OS/2 File Manager and some other programs might show inaccurate
- drive information when running in a private NetWare session.
- Drives that are mapped in global or OS/2 sessions might appear
- as local drives. You can remap these drives to other volumes
- or directories without affecting the global session mappings.
-
- DISPLAY ADAPTERS (IMAGE, SVGA, XGA, 8514)
-
- o The OS/2 operating system will experience
- video problems similar to those observed in
- a DOS environment. These problems are due
- to the failure of a BIOS video mode set.
- An example of this problem is the video
- image on an ALR** Modular PS with a
- FlexView** 2x SVGA display failing to occupy
- the entire screen in 1024 x 768 mode.
-
- o If you are using an LCD display and have
- difficulty locating the mouse pointer on
- the screen, you can increase the size of
- the pointer if you are using 640x480
- resolution. To change the size of the
- pointer (if you have REXX installed):
- 1. Use an editor to create a file called
- LARGE.CMD.
- 2. Add the following information to the
- file.

-
- o Users of the NCR** Safari notebook, SSL/25,
- should modify the following information in
- the CONFIG.SYS file on their startup drive
- to allow video register shadowing to be
- processed correctly in OS/2 2.1.
- Change:
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
- to
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
-
- o Systems with Image Adapters running in
- dual-display modes will lose DOS window
- support after a DOS full-screen or OS/2
- full-screen session has been invoked. The
- system must be restarted to reinstate the
- DOS window environment. The problem can be
- avoided by turning off the dual display
- mode under the Image Adapter setup.
-
-
- S3 FUNCTIONAL RESTRICTIONS
- ---------------------------
-
- o After Dark** for Windows** images that move from left to right do
- not perform properly at 640x480x16M resolution.
-
- o To avoid a General Protection fault while loading Ventura
- Publisher** for Windows be sure it is in one of the 256 color
- resolutions.
-
- o To avoid a trap in Lotus** 1-2-3** for OS/2 do not attempt to run
- the program at 16.7 million colors.
-
- o 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.
-
- o 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.
-
-
- o 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.
-
-
- NEW SETVGA PROCEDURE
- --------------------
-
- Use the following procedure instead of the SETVGA command to return to
- VGA mode.
-
- NOTE: If your display is out of sync, start OS/2 using the OS/2
- Installation Diskette, insert Diskette 1 when prompted, then
- press Esc to access a command prompt. Follow the instructions
- below to reset your display mode.
-
- o If you installed OS/2 from diskettes:
-
- 1. Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL directory. If it is, go
- to step 2. If it is not, insert Installation Diskette 8 and unpack
- RSPDSPI.EXE with the following command:
-
- C:\OS2\UNPACK A:\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE
-
- where: A: is the drive containing Installation Diskette 8
- C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed
-
- 2. Type C:; then press Enter
- 3. Type CD C:\OS2\INSTALL; then press Enter
- 4. Type RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:C:; then press Enter
-
- /T:C: where C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed
- /S:A: where A: is the diskette drive you use to install
- OS/2
-
- o If you installed OS/2 from CD-ROM or a LAN:
-
- 1. Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL directory. If it is, go
- to step 2. If it is not, unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following
- command:
-
- C:\OS2\UNPACK E:\DISK_8\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE
-
- where: C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed
- E: is the CD-ROM or LAN drive
-
- 2. Type C:; then press Enter
- 3. Type CD C:\OS2\INSTALL; then press Enter
- 4. Type RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:E:\OS2SE21\ /T:C:; then press Enter
-
- /T:C: where C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed
- /S:E: where E: is the CD-ROM or LAN drive
-
-
- SVGA CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o The Western Digital** 90C31 SVGA chip set
- will have video problems when Windows 2.x
- applications are run.
-
- o If you are using a ZEOS** system with
- Speedstar** VGA, you must run the VMODE
- utility supplied with the system to
- configure the display during the display
- driver installation.
-
- o Zenith Data Systems** with the Headland Technology
- chip set HT208 do not support high resolution modes
- even though you can successfully set these modes
- and install high resolution drivers. If a
- high resolution mode is used, a white
- half-screen will be displayed. To correct
- this problem, use DSPINSTL to install VGA.
-
- o If you have a Sigma Legend** display
- adapter you might experience minor video
- corruption on the desktop when you switch
- between the desktop and DOS if they are
- running in different modes. This can be
- corrected by using a DOS utility to set the
- DOS session to the same mode as the
- desktop.
-
-
- XGA CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o If an XGA-2 adapter is installed, and you
- have modified the default display type in
- the System Settings notebook (page 2),
- after you restart the system it will
- display the Workplace Shell* in one
- resolution and WIN-OS/2 in a different
- resolution. To change the resolution for
- the Workplace Shell:
- 1. Open OS/2 System.
- 2. Open System Setup.
- 3. Open System.
- 4. Select a 640x480xn resolution.
- 5. Shut down and restart the system.
- 6. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
- 7. Select the desired resolution.
- 8. Shut down and restart the system.
-
- The Workplace Shell and WIN-OS/2 will now
- be displayed in the same resolution.
-
- o If you are using a dual-display system with
- XGA as the primary display and VGA as the
- secondary display, you might see some minor
- corruption when the XGA display is set to a
- resolution with 65536 colors. This
- corruption will be on the display that does
- not have focus and will not interfere with
- the operation of the system.
-
- o On dual-display configurations with XGA-2
- as the primary display and VGA as the
- secondary display, the DOS full-screen
- session might be corrupted if a Windows
- application is started in a window session.
- To recover from this situation, shutdown
- and restart the system.
-
- o If you are using Dual Boot with an XGA-2
- adapter, you must modify the CONFIG.DOS
- file:
- 1. Edit the \OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.DOS file.
- 2. Locate the line
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 2048
- X=nnnn-nnnn
- 3. Change nnnn-nnnn to C000-CFFF.
- 4. Save and exit the file.
-
- o On IBM P75 systems, there might be some
- corruption on the screen whenever several
- icons are selected and moved together.
- This corruption can be eliminated by
- clicking mouse button 2 to bring up the
- pop-up menu and then selecting Sort.
-
- o An IBM P75 system with an external monitor
- attached might have only the 640x480x16
- resolution selection on the the System
- Settings Screen page. If the external
- monitor is capable of displaying higher
- resolutions, use the P75 reference diskette
- to disable the built-in plasma display.
-
- o If you are using an XGA system, the hash
- lines around the icons of open applications
- might change color unexpectedly. This does
- not interfere with the operation of the
- system.
-
- o If you are using an XGA system, extra lines
- might appear on the face of the OS/2 System
- Clock between the quarter (:15) and half
- (:30) hour. These lines do not interfere
- with the operation of the clock.
-
-
- 8514 CONSIDERATIONS
-
- o If you are using the 1MB version of an
- ATI** Graphics Ultra** Pro adapter, the VGA
- memory must be set to SHARED to work
- properly with the OS/2 8514 display driver.
- This might cause some DOS applications
- running in the background to corrupt the
- desktop. To correct this problem, you must
- upgrade to the 2MB version of the Graphics
- Ultra Pro and set the VGA memory to 256K or
- greater.
-
- NOTE: In the "OS/2 Installation Guide", it
- states that the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro must
- be configured to IBM DEFAULT for the
- 640x480 display type. This setting might
- be referred to as 60Hz rather than IBM
- DEFAULT.
-
- o If you are using a system with an 8514
- adapter with Windows applications running
- in separate WIN-OS/2 window sessions,
- video corruption might occur in
- bit maps when clipping between applications.
-
- o After you start a WIN-OS/2 window session,
- 256-color bit maps might become discolored
- due to the sharing of the 256-color
- palette. This should not affect the
- running of the applications.
-
- o Selecting windows in Mathematica might not
- bring focus to the proper window.
-
-
- AUDIO ADAPTERS
-
- o Audio support in WIN-OS/2 and DOS sessions is
- dependent on installed drivers. You should
- install the audio adapter driver that came with
- your audio adapter. When installing audio
- support for WIN-OS/2, be sure to install both
- DOS and Windows device drivers. Configure
- both drivers to use the same interrupt level and
- DMA channel.
-
- o The following drivers are available with
- the Audio Capture and Playback Adapter
- (ACPA):
- - ACPADD.SYS
- - ACPADD2.SYS
- - ACPAK12.SYS
- - ACPA.DRV
- The latest updates are available on the IBM
- Bulletin Board Service.
-
- o MMPM/2 installs ACPA support for OS/2 only,
- not WIN-OS/2 or DOS.
-
- There are two ways to get DOS ACPA support
- in DOS sessions:
- 1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 2. Add DEVICE=C:\ACPAK12.SYS
- 3. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file.
- 4. Copy the ACPAK12.SYS file to the C:\

- 1. Install the DOS device driver following
- the instructions that came with the
- adapter. Use a DOS session for
- the installation.
- 2. Install the Windows driver.
-
- NOTE: Be sure to use the same I/O
- address, interrupt, and DMA settings
- used during install of the DOS drivers.
-
- PRINTERS
-
- o If you are using the HP** LaserJet**
- printer driver, some complex images might
- not print correctly when LaserJet

- OS/2 2.11 printer drivers on a system with
- OS/2 1.3 or 2.0 installed, you must first
- unpack the driver on a system that has OS/2
- 2.11 installed. You do not have to complete
- these steps to install a printer driver on
- a system that already has OS/2 2.11
- installed.
-
- NOTE: Do not install the new 32-bit
- PostScript driver (PSCRIPT.DR_) that came
- with OS/2 2.11 on a system with OS/2 1.3 or
- 2.0 installed. It is not compatible with
- these versions of OS/2. While testing is
- continuing, current compatibility
- information about tested systems is
- available through your dealer, Marketing
- Representative, CompuServe, IBM National
- Support Center Bulletin Board System (NSC
- BBS), and IBMLink*.

- ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FOR PORTABLE COMPUTERS
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- o This version of OS/2 includes additional APM support that was not
- available for the original OS/2 2.1 release. Portables
- with 32 bit protect mode APM are now supported.
-
- Portable computers with the following are compatible with
- OS/2 2.11 Advanced Power Management:
-
- o 16-bit protect-mode APM in the BIOS
- o 32-bit protect-mode APM
-
-
- Portable computers that have no APM support in BIOS or
- have only real-mode APM are not supported by OS/2
- 2.11 Advanced Power Management.
-
- The DOS utility program APMHERE, which is available
- on the IBM BBS, can quickly determine whether your
- machine has Advanced Power Management support in con-
- formance to the APM 1.0 Specification (dated 1/91).
- Systems with BIOS dates prior to January 1991 will
- not have the protect-mode APM support in their BIOS.
-
-

- NOTE 1: To run OS/2 2.11 in these models, change the
- statement "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD" in CONFIG.SYS to
- the following:
-
- BASEDEV=IBMINT13.I13
-
- NOTE 2: For OS/2 2.11 APM, access the IBM BBS and down-
- load the following 3 files:
-
- o TGSFX.COM (located in file area 4)
- o RFL40SXA.TG0 (located in file area 27)
- o L40PWR.ZIP (located in file area 37)
-
- Execute TGSFX.COM to install the TELEGET.EXE
- program. Then do the following:
-
- 1. Create a new L40SX reference diskette by using
- TELEGET.EXE to unpack RFL40SXA.TG0 onto a
- 1.44MB formatted diskette.
-
- 2. Use PKUNZIP to unzip the L40PWR.ZIP to obtain
- new IDLE.EXE and PWRMGMT.SYS files.
-
- 3. Replace the IDLE.EXE and PWRMGMT.SYS files
- on the newly created L40SX reference diskette
- with the new IDLE.EXE and PWRMGMT.SYS files
- obtained from the previous step.
-
- 4. Restart L40SX with the resulting reference
- diskette in A drive and configure with APM.
-
- 5. Verify the APM configuration by selecting VIEW
- CONFIGURATION from the installation menu.
-
- 6. Exit the configuration.
-
- 7. Power off the computer and restart OS/2.
-
- NOTE 3: Contact the manufacturer for newer versions of
- their BIOS that have APM support.
-
- NOTE 4: These models require the Toshiba APM driver
- (OS2RES.EXE) available from the Toshiba BBS
- (714-837-4408). This Toshiba driver will provide
- partial power management capabilities under OS/2
- 2.11.
-
- NOTE 5: While running OS/2, you can use the special
- power-saving keys but the additional capability of
- OS/2 protect-mode APM is not supported.
