- All paradise boards with 1 meg will make OS/2 think that the board has
- 2 meg of video memory (or something like that) Call IBM support and
- ask them for a fix. In the meantime, you can use OS/2 without
- the svga support by removing all references to SVGA in the config.sys.
- For example, there is a reference to BVHSVGA - delete that, but leave the
- BHVGA. Also, there is a dos device driver loaded (the next line down I
- think) that is called svga.sys. Just take out the 's' and leave it as
- vga.sys. That will let you use OS/2 until you get the fix.
