Here's how I installed the Trident 32-bit drivers: 1. You must go back to the standard 32 bit 640x480x16 drivers that are installed after the service pack. This is required! You can do this by using Selective Install (or Device Driver Install if you backed up your original driver and stored it in a safe location.) Be sure to get the standard VGA drivers working beforing you attempt to install the Trident drivers. 2. Backup the following files: \OS2\SVGA.EXE \OS2\DLL\BVHSVGA.DLL \OS2\DLL\IBMDEV32.DLL \OS2\DLL\IBMVGA32.DLL \OS2\DLL\*.FON 3. Replace \OS2\MDOS\SVGA.EXE with the one included in the archive. Run SVGA ON DOS. This will create a file called SVGADATA.DOS. Note that the old SVGADATA.PMI and this SVGADATA.DOS are in fact different, so you will have to replace it. (Don't do any copying yet, just follow the rest of these instructions.) 4. Boot from a floppy. (If you are running FAT, a DOS boot disk is fine, or if you have HPFS on your C partition, you must use an OS/2 boot diskette. If you haven't created an OS/2 boot diskette, use the first two diskettes from the original install diskettes. When the IBM OS/2 white screen appears, press ESC, which will give you an OS/2 full screen session. Once you are at a DOS or OS/2 prompt, continue with these instructions: 5. Replace \OS2\DLL\BVHSVGA.DLL with the one in this archive. 6. Replace \OS2\DLL\IBMDEV32.DLL with one of the Trident 32-bit drivers. In this archive, they are named the following: 640DEV32.DLL 640x480x256 32-bit Trident driver 800DEV32.DLL 800x600x256 32-bit Trident driver 1KDEV32.DLL 1024x768x256 32-bit Trident driver Be sure to rename the appropriate driver of your choice to IBMDEV32.DLL and place it in the \os2\dll directory. 7. Replace \OS2\DLL\IBMVGA32.DLL with the one in this archive. 8. Type INSTALL. (This runs INSTALL.BAT or INSTALL.CMD depending if you are in a DOS or OS/2 session.) This replaces your existing .FON files (fonts) with the ones included in this archive. 9. Backup \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI (you couldn't do this until you had booted from a floppy.) 10. Replace \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI with the \OS2\SVGADATA.DOS created in step 3. 11. Reboot. You should have the 32-bit drivers working. NOTES: 1. This installation doesn't even touch DISPLAY.DLL. You must keep the original DISPLAY.DLL there, as it does NOT control the display in the SP. Read \README for more details. (It acts as a passthrough to IBMDEV32.DLL) Installing the Windows drivers: ---------- --- ------- -------- Modifications necessary to run the combined windows drivers: Edit SYSTEM.INI in your Win-OS/2 directory and add: In the [boot.description] entry: display.drv= sdisplay.drv= Where can be: 1024x768x256 800x600x256 640x480x256 Where can be: Large fonts Small fonts NOTE: Use Large fonts for 1024x768x256 FS (WSPDBF.DRV) Seamless (WSPDSBF.DRV) Use Small fonts for 800x600x256 FS (WSPDSF.DRV) Seamless (WSPDSSF.DRV) 640x480x256 FS (WSPDSF.DRV) Seamless (WSPDSSF.DRV) Where can be: 1M 512K Where can be: ET4000 ATI IBMVGA256c Paradise Video7 Trident Example of 1024x768x256 for Trident with 1 Meg: [boot] sdisplay.drv=wspdsbf.drv display.drv=wspdbf.drv [boot.description] display.drv=1024x768x256 Large fonts 1M Trident sdisplay.drv=1024x768x256 Large fonts 1M Trident ... display.drv=640x480x256 Small fonts 1M ET4000 sdisplay.drv=640x480x256 Small fonts 1M ET4000 display.drv=800x600x256 Small fonts 1M ET4000 sdisplay.drv=800x600x256 Small fonts 1M ET4000 NOTES ON THE WIN-OS/2 DRIVERS: 1. If you run a Win-OS/2 application seemlessly, and your palette gets altered, go to Control Panel and remove any background .BMP, and just use a solid color. While it may not be as pretty for your Win-OS/2 full screen sessions, it usually eliminates the palette problems.
