- I tried the new tseng4000 patch on Hobbes, but ran into an interesting
- problem. Following the advice of a helpful netter, I created another
- directory with the new display.dll and put that directory first int
- the libpath statement in my config.sys file. POOF! Apparently,
- the driver is not compatible with my Diamond Speedstar Plus HiColor
- board and my screen is transformed into static. Since, my screen is
- completely illegible, it is impossible to delete the offending
- line and I'm forced to re-install OS/2. I even tried using the
- installation disk and disk #1 (typing ESC as recommended by the
- FAQ) to get a system prompt, and it does work, BUT my hard drive
- is not recognized.
-
- I've already done the re-install, but I sure would be grateful
- if someone could clue me into an easier solution for the next
- time.
-
- Cheers,
-
