- In reading the OS/2 2.0 readme file, I came across something
- interesting. Apparantly, when switching to full-screen DOS sessions,
- OS/2 looks for the SVGADATA.PMI file in the file \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI
- ON THE CURRENT DRIVE. This is fine, IF you are using the drive
- the \OS2 directory is on. However, if you are on a different drive,
- the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file cannot be found, so the video loses synch.
-
- The solution? Make a directory called \OS2 on all your hard disk
- partitions, and copy the SVGADATA.PMI file into it. Then OS/2 can
- find it, and the problem should go away.
