STAC NOTE STAC NOTE
CONFIGURING WINDOWS DISPLAY DRIVER FOR USE WITH A REACHOUT DOS
VIEWER
(Applies to Reachout versions 3.X, 4.X, 5.X)
STAC FAX 8601 (05-25-1995)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY WITH SUPERVGA DRIVERS
A ReachOut DOS Viewer can only view a ReachOut Host with video
resolution upto 800x600 x16 colors maximum. To check your Host's
Windows video resolution, run Windows Setup, and be sure the
display is VGA, or SuperVGA. If neither of these are selected
follow the instructions below.
Running Windows Setup after ReachOut has been Installed, Version
3.X only.
ReachOut makes changes to the display, keyboard, and mouse
drivers referenced in your SYSTEM.INI files. (Before making these
changes, ReachOut backs up your original files to files with the
filename extension .ORG.) If you need to change your display
driver, follow the directions below to remove ReachOut's changes
before running Windows Setup. Otherwise, Windows will change the
wrong lines in SYSTEM.INI.
1. Go to a DOS prompt and change to the REACHOUT directory.
Type: REMRO <enter>. This will temporarily remove the
ReachOut modifications.
2. Change to the WINDOWS directory and type SETUP <enter>.
Select a 16 color driver such as VGA or Super VGA
(800x600x16). If you use a special driver from a disk
provided by your display card manufacturer, make sure the
driver is for 16 colors.
3. To restore ReachOut's modifications to your SYSTEM.INI,
change to the REACHOUT directory and type INSRO <enter>.
This will make the changes necessary to remotely control the
computer while it is running Windows.
4. Check your SYSTEM.INI to make sure it contains the lines
below:
[boot]
display.drv=C:\REACHOUT\RCHOUT.DRV
rodisplay.drv=VGA.DRV
keyboard.drv=C:\REACHOUT\RCHKYB.DRV
rokeyboard.drv=KEYBOARD.DRV
mouse.drv=C:\REACHOUT\RCHMSE.DRV
romouse.drv=RCHMOUSE.DRV
[386Enh]
device=C:\REACHOUT\VRCHOUT.386
device=C:\REACHOUT\VRCHSRL.386
Setting up the Reachout Host, versions 4.X and 5.X
Run Windows setup program as normal and select either VGA or
SuperVGA as the desired video mode. Restart Windows.
Setting up the DOS Viewer
If the Host is in standard VGA mode nothing special has to be
done to the Viewer, it is already set for 640 X 480 X 16 color
when you run GVM.BAT
If the Host will be in SVGA 800 X 600 X 16 colors follow the
following instructions:
Add the following switch to the end of the VIEWMDM or VIEWNET
line in the GVM or GVN batch file:
/SVGAMODE=<rax>, <rbx> where rax,rbx are the hex address
for the Viewer's video card
supervga mode.
These values are found in the video card manual, or Windows
SYSTEM.INI.
Common values are:
DEC 52,0 NCR 58,0 Video7 6f05,62
Compaq 29,0 Oak 52,0 Western Dig. 58,0
Trident 5b,0 ATI 54,0 Paradise 58,0
Realtek 1f,0 Dell 6a,0 Orchid 6a,0
Diamond 6a,0 STB 29,0
