- I think that the "SVGA ON DOS" command prompts SVGA to produce a
- SVGADATA.DOS file instead of SVGADATA.PMI. I seem to remember the
- documentation ( for the 32-bit drivers ) saying that you should
- copy this ( SVGADATA.DOS ) over the SVGADATA.PMI file.

- Have you installed any video drivers since you've applied the
- CSD? If so, you need the DISPLAY.DLL from the CSD in your \OS2
- directory.
-
- I installed the 32-bit drivers when I had a Trident 8900c ( with
- 1 MB of RAM ) in my machine. It hung the first time, then I re-applied
- the CSD and re-installed the 32-bit drivers. Then it came up without
- a problem.
