This installation guide assumes the user to be familiar with the mouse
interface of the OS/2 2.0 Desktop Shell environment. If additional
instructions are needed, please consult the OS/2 Tutorial in the Information
folder.
To install OS/2 2.0 PM Display Driver and Virtual Device Driver:
1. Boot system from DOS bootable diskette.
2. Insert the OS/2 driver disk into the floppy with write-protected tab
removed and execute CLSVGA.EXE on the disk.
(See Display Drivers and Utilities User's Guide for CLSVGA.EXE usage)
3. After running CLSVGA.EXE, boot OS/2 to continue with the installation.
4. Save a copy of the BVHSVGA.dll in \os2\dll. Open a DOS session by
double clicking on a DOS Full Screen icon from the OS/2 Command
Prompts folder. The Command Prompts icon is in the OS/2 System
folder. Move to the \os2\dll directory by typing 'CD \OS2\DLL' at
the DOS prompt.
Type 'COPY BVHSVGA.DLL BVHSAVE.DLL /B' at the DOS prompt to make a
backup copy of bvhsvga.dll.
5. Invoke OS/2's Device Driver Install utility to copy device drivers from
the Driver and Utilities for OS/2 diskette to the hard disk.
- Insert the Drivers and Utilities for OS/2 diskette in drive A:.
- Double click on the Device Driver Install icon in the System Setup
folder. The System Setup icon is in the OS/2 System folder.
- Click on the Install button from the OS/2 2.0 Device Driver Installation
pop up window. The Select Device Drivers pop up window will display
a list of device drivers such as:
VGA (CRT/PANEL/SIM) - 640x480
Super VGA (CRT) - 800x600x16 (Check if your video system supports this resolution)
Super VGA (CRT) - 1024x800x16 (Check if your video system supports this resolution)
( To assist in determining what resolution your video supports, see
"video modes" by running CLMODE.EXE utility )
- Select the device driver to be installed from the list and click on the
OK button. Device drivers are copied to:
BVHSVGA.DLL to C:\OS2\DLL
SVGADATA.PMI to C:\OS2
VGAxxx.DLL and VCL6420.SYS to C:\CLOS2DRV
( where VGAxxxx.DLL are VGA640.DLL or VGA800.DLL or VGA1024.DLL and be
renamed to DISPLAY.DLL in C:\CLOS2DRV )
- Click on the Exit button, then the Yes button. If the current
display.dll is in use, a dialog box will pop up to notify the user that
changes will be in effect on the next reboot. Click the OK button to
exit the installation utility.
6. Modify the config.sys file in the root directory so that OS/2 will

from the OS/2 Command Prompts folder. The Command Prompts icon
is in the OS/2 System folder.
Run the install program to copy the WIN-OS/2 Drivers and SetRES
Utility to the hard disk.
In the Program Manager, choose File Run.
Specify the diskette drive where the Drivers and Utilities for
OS/2 Diskette is inserted, and run the install program.
