- I've had no problems at all, so far, and I don't think I did anything
- special. One item that might help: put a call to vmode.com (somthing like
- "vmode monitor") in your DOS autoexec.bat, so that it gets executed before
- the svga utility runs. (You'll need to set up your monitor first, so that
- "vmode monitor" works.) I've had it set up like that with GA, so it
- happened without my intervention when selective install installed the
- drivers. I haven't done anything else, but note that there is a section in
- the new README file about handling the SpeedStar; it suggests running
- vmode.com from the startup.cmd file. I don't...but I do have WIN-OS/2 Full
- Screen in my startup folder, so that vmode does get exectued every time I
- start up the system.
