- You can generate that SVGADATA.PMI file under plain DOS. Set up
- TVGACRTC.SYS the way you want (using the TVGACRTC.EXE utility), load
- it in CONFIG.SYS under plain DOS (floppy boot is fine), boot DOS, and
- run SVGA ON DOS (using the SVGA.EXE program in \OS2). Copy this file,
- SVGADATA.DOS to \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI. Reboot into OS/2, and you should
- be all set.
