README FOR 32-BIT 8514 BETA
---------------------------
***** Use this driver with the March Beta ONLY! *****
***** Install over 16-bit 8514 ONLY .. not VGA *****
***** IBM Internal Users - Report all problems on OS2BETA FORUM *****
***** Customers, use either the OS2BETA forum on OS2BBS, or CIS *****
***** PSPBETA forum to report problems. *****
To install the 32-bit 8514 driver:
1 Backup the \config.sys file
2 Execute: INST8514.CMD [8514 installation files] [os2 boot drive]
for example:
A:> INST8514 a: c:
* INST8514.CMD Copies:
a. 8514_32.DLL to the \OS2\DLL subdirectory
b. DSPRES.DLL to the \OS2\DLL subdirectory
c. SWIN8514.DRV to the \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM subdirectory
d. V8514.SYS to the \OS2\MDOS subdirectory
* INST8514.CMD executes 32BITINI.EXE to Edit the OS2.INI file
PM_DISPLAYDRIVERS entry to:
a. Create key 8514_32 with a value of 8514_32.
b. Set CURRENTDRIVER to 8514_32.
3. In \CONFIG.SYS change: DEVICE=x:\OS2\MDOS\V8514A.SYS
to: DEVICE=x:\OS2\MDOS\V8514.SYS
(different names, so it's easy to keep both around)
5 Reboot.
*****************************************************************************
To switch back to the 16-bit driver:
1 Restore the original Config.sys file (saved in above step)
2 Execute 16BITINI:
- 16BITINI.EXE Edits the OS2.INI file PM_DISPLAYDRIVERS entry and set
CURRENTDRIVER back to IBM8514.
3 Reboot.

CURRENT KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE 32-BIT 8514:
(please check against this list before reporting any new problems, thanks.)
abstract PM Chart: Corruption of the work area
Open PM Chart. Open an existing file. A secondary window comes
up with the title "File - Open." The box with the file mask to be
found is corrupted with vertical lines.
After drawing shapes in the work area, the same type of vertical
line corruption occurs.
-----------------
abstract PM Excel: Spreadsheet corruption
Open PM Excel and bring in an existing spreadsheet. The following
problems were found.
1. Highlight a group of cells containing text. If you change the color
of the cells (using the Patterns option from the Format menu), only
the first cell changes correctly. The others contain an incorrect
striped color. If you modify the text by selecting "bold" and
"italics", the rest of the group, except the first, disappear. This
also occurs when changing the color of the text.
2. Create a chart. Overlay the modified text (i.e., those cells
that were bolded). The bolded text corrupts - it turns into Z's
and 0's.
-----------------
abstract FVT: Seamless Paintbrush: Cut/Copy/Paste corruption
Open a seamless Paintbrush session.
If you Cut or Copy an image and Paste it, the image
appears in the upper left corner to await moving
to its final destination. When you move it, a shadow of the
edit pulldown menu remains and overlays any image that
may exist in the upper left corner.
-----------------
abstract FVT: Repaint problems when clipping 2 seamless apps
Open Paintbrush and load a bitmap.
Open CorelDraw.
Overlay the windows so part of one is on part of the other.
Clip back and forth, bringing each to the foreground one at a
time.
As you do this, the Paintbrush bitmap does not repaint correctly
in both the foreground and the background. Only portions of the
bitmap will appear or it will turn half black.
This is a seamless problem.
-----------------
abstract FVT: Seamless CorelDraw: Palette bar corruption - wrong colors
Open a seamless session of CorelDraw.
The main palette bar and all other palette
displays are corrupted. The colors are wrong and
some have stripes.
The colors are wrong and striped in the graphs in PM Chart
and the colors for cells and text in PM Excel.
This is a seamless problem.
-----------------
abstract Photo Finish 8514/A locks system
For 8514/A running Photo Finish will lock up the system when
using the tools on the app. such as zoom or move. Clicking on
either scroll bar of the picture will also lock the system. This
does not happen on the 8514 Ultra card.
-----------------
abstract Text is Garbled in Winfracrt in seamless
The text of the windows app Winfract is "Garbled" when I run it
seamlessly. This doens't happen in SVGA or 8515. I was running
on a 8514 monitor and a ibm 8514 card.
