OSVIM32I - BLACK SCREEN BLINKING CURSOR ON STARTUP WITH ATI MACH32 OR
MACH64 AND OS/2 WARP (ALL VERSIONS)
12/02/96
=======================================================================
Black Screen Blinking Cursor on Startup with ATI Mach32 or Mach64 and
OS/2 Warp (All Versions)
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When the system restarts after the first phase of installation on a
system with an ATI Mach32 or Mach64 video adapter, the system stops at
a black screen with a blinking cursor.
The problem is that the VGA (640x480) driver is attempting to
initialize at 60 Hz. If the adapter mode for 640x480 is set to a
refresh rate other than 60 Hz, the video will not be able to startup,
and the system will hang on startup with a black screen and a blinking
cursor in the upper left-hand corner.
RESOLUTION
Use the video adapter DOS utilities that come with the adapter to set
the 640x480 mode to a 60 Hz refresh rate.
These utilities can also be obtained from ATI's World Wide Web site at
http://www.atitech.ca or from their BBS at (905) 764-9404. For
assistance on running the utilities, contact ATI Technical Support at
(905) 882-2626.
