- What you need to do is start with an OS/2 installation using the
- standard VGA driver. Install the Service Pack. Then go to a full
- screen DOS session, run VMODE to set up as needed for your monitor,
- then run SVGA ON. EXIT, Shutdown, and reboot. Then go ahead and
- install the Tseng 4000 high resolution driver.
-
- In most cases that solves the problem.
