Files F10X8.ZIP & F8X8.ZIP contain the second release of the Orchid
Fahrenheit 1280 Display Drivers (F10x8.DLL & F8x8.DLL), Virtual Device Driver
(VSVGA.SYS), SVGADATA file creation tool (SVGA.EXE), installation
instructions (INSTALL.DOC), and preliminary installation instructions
(README.1ST).
This driver release is for use with the IBM OS/2 2.0 GA release (16-Bit
Graphics Rendering Engine). However, drivers and support files have been
tested with OS/2 2.0 with the Service Pack applied and no serious problems
have been found to date.
While it is not a requirement, it is highly recommended that a backup of all
important and critical OS/2 system and application files located on the OS/2
boot volume be preformed before installing the F1280 display driver.
Some of the improvements offered and bugs fixed by this release:
Fixed problem with OS/2 DOS windowed VDMs (sessions) becoming full of video
garbage when the session is brought to full screen mode.
Improved behaviour and performance of OS/2 DOS windowed VDMs when text window
is scrolled or when font size is changed.
Corrected improperly positioned "characters" when "label board" choice
selected in "options" menu in OS/2 CHESS program. I put "characters" in
quotes because the characters are obviously still not correctly rendered.
However, the test group reports these characters are correctly rendered when
the driver is used on a system which has been updated with the Service Pack.
Improved driver's performance and behaviour when used with OS/2 2.0 with the
Service Pack update installed.
Things to be done:
Release documentation dealing with the installation and running of the Orchid
F1280 Windows 3.x display driver in Win-OS/2 sessions. (Requires the
installation of the OS/2 Windows 3.1 support code.)
Develope F1280 OS/2 display driver DSPINSTL configuration file to ease
installation of F1280 OS/2 display drivers.
Release the F1280 BVHSVGA.DLL module and updated drivers to take advantage of
it.
Take a long vacation....
