NCR 32 BIT DISPLAY DRIVERS
for OS/2
Please Note:
------------
1. These drivers are intended for OS/2 2.1
2. If the standard VGA (640x480x16) drivers are installed
after installing NCR high resolution drivers, an extra line
may be left in config.sys that will generate a warning message.
This is the result of an attempt to load two virtual video
drivers ( DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\(VirtualVideoDriver).SYS ).
Simply edit CONFIG.SYS and delete the the extra line.
Example: After installing NCR's SVGA drivers and reinstalling
the standard VGA drivers, CONFIG.SYS may have
these two lines:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGANCR.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
Simply delete (or remark) the NCR driver to use the
standard VGA driver.
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGANCR.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
3. All 800x600 full screen WINOS2 sessions will run at 56Hz verticle
refresh. If you have a multisynch monitor (type 03) and you wish
to display 800x600 modes at 72Hz verticle refresh rate, then edit
your config.sys and change the following line from:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\HIGH_RES.SYS /V /M:01
to:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\HIGH_RES.SYS /V /M:03
