- InteGraphics IGA168x OS/2 2.1 and WARP Display Driver Installation:
-
- Step 1. Install InteGraphics IGA168x Graphics Card in your system.
-
- Step 2. Install OS/2 Operating System in normal VGA mode.
-
- Step 3. Open a DOS full screen session. Insert InteGrphics OS/2 driver
- diskatte into driver A and run the installation program inside the
- full screen DOS session by typing:
-
- A:\SetupDOS
-
- Step 4. Select "OS/2 2.1 & Warp" to extract OS/2 driver files into your
- hard drive (default under the directory "OS2_DRV").
-
- Step 5. Exit from the full screen DOS. Open a OS/2 session (Windowed or
- full screened). Move your working directory to "OS2_DRV" by typing:
-
- CD \OS2_DRV
-
- Step 6. Run OS/2 driver installation program by typing:
-
- OS2INST . C:
-
- The command will install OS/2 driver from the current working
- directory to the hard drive C:.
-
- Note: if you install from drive A:, you must format a floppy and
- enter "Disp 1" as Volume label (Very important procedure),
- then copy all files to A: and type:
- OS2INST A: C:
-
- Step 7. Follow the instruction to proceed installation. When 'Display
- Driver Install' dialog box appears, select 'Primary Display'
- and then click on the O.K. button.
-
- Step 8. When 'Primary Display Adapter Type' dialog box appears, select
- "InteGraphics Systems, Inc. IGA168x" and then click on the O.K.
- button.
-
- Step 9. When 'Select Display Resolution' dialog box appears, select the
- resolution which best fits your needs, and then click on the O.K.
- button.
-
- Step 10. When 'Source Directory' dialog box appears, click the button
- "Change" to set your source directory to c:\os2_drv before you
- push the buttom "Install..." (This is a very important procedure
- to follow for installing from a directory instead of a diskatte).
-
- Step 11. After the installation completed, perform a shutdown and restart
- the system so that the changes can take effect.
-
- Note: In the case that the display loses sync after the system restarts,
- follow the procedures below:
-
- 1) Reboot the system with a bootable floppy (DOS).
- 2) Run InteGraphics provided utility - SetFreq.Exe. Select a low
- refresh rate for your monitor. If you have an interlaced monitor
- and you are going to use it in 1024x768 resolution, you must
- select 1024x768 interlaced mode. Then, Choose not to save the
- selection into Autoexec.bat file.
- 3) Change to directory C:\OS2.
- 4) Type "SVGA ON DOS" and Enter, which will generates
- SVGADATA.DOS file under the directory \OS2.
- 5) Type "Copy SVGADATA.DOS SVGADATA.PMI" and Enter.
- 6) Remove floppy diskatte and reboot your system.
-
- If you have a high quality monitor and you want to run it at a
- higher refresh rate, you could do it by following the above procedure
- to select a higher refresh rate. But, remember to run the command
- "svga on dos" immediately following the utility program SetFreq.exe.
- By doing this, the svga.exe will record the change you have made
- into a file -- svgadata.dos. Then, after copying svgadata.dos to
- svgadata.pmi, a new svgadata.pmi file with the new refresh rate
- information will be ready for OS/2.
