The installation procedures for the three supported versions of OS/2 will vary. Please read this entire document to determine the required steps for your environment. 3.0 DDC Monitor Support ________________________ VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) 1 and 2B protocols are supported, allowing similarly enabled computers and operating system software to identify the monitor and its capabilities. This device driver automatically detects DDC monitor capabilities and adjusts the available selections to match the monitors capabilities. If the monitor attached to the system is included on the list, which appears on page 2 of the System Properties Screen Tab, that monitor should be used, not the DDC or Default. When switching to a different monitor, you must run the DDC Display Setup program in the System Setup Folder. Use the following procedure after attaching a different DDC monitor to your system. 1. In the System Setup Folder, reset the display to the lowest refresh rate available. This will prevent the system from attempting to display at a refresh rate higher than that supported by the new monitor. 2. Shut down your system and install the new monitor. 3. Restart your system. 4. Select the "DDC Display Setup" icon in the OS/2 System Folder. 5. When you are instructed to do so, shut down your system and restart it. 4.0 Preliminary Steps ______________________ The following steps must be performed before you install the display device driver: 1. You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed. 2. If you previously installed SVGA support, you must reset the resolution to VGA mode, using the procedures in "Setting Your Display to VGA Mode" (section 5.0 in this README). 3. Use "Label A:" to verify that the device driver diskette is labeled "S3 DRV1." 4. The OS/2 SYSLEVEL command may be used prior to installation to verify the current driver version. NOTE: some previous device drivers did not provide this information. Execute the SYSLEVEL command and look for the information similar to the following: C:\OS2\INSTALLATION\SYSLEVEL.VID ViRGE,ViRGE/VX,ViRGE/DX,ViRGE/GX Version 2.81 Component ID 562107701 Current CSD level: S328103 Prior CSD level: S328018 In this case the current version level is S3 2.81.03. 5.0 VGA Mode Reset ___________________ Use the following procedures to reset to VGA mode.

If installing from diskette, insert OS/2 Diskette 8 into drive A and unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following command: C:\OS2\UNPACK A:\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE where A: is the drive containing Diskette 8, and C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed. If installing from CD or LAN, unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following command: C:\OS2\UNPACK E:\DISK_8\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE where C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed, and E: is the CD-ROM or LAN drive. 3. Type C: and then press Enter. 4. Type CD C:\OS2\INSTALL and then press Enter. 5. If installing from diskette, type the following: RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:C: In /S:A:, A: is the source diskette drive for installing the device driver. In /T:C:, C: is the target drive where OS/2 is installed. If installing from CD or LAN, type the following: RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:E:\OS2SE21\ /T:C: In /S:E:, E: is the source CD-ROM or LAN drive. In /T:C:, C: is the target drive where OS/2 is installed. Then press Enter. 6. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer. 7. Proceed to Section 6.0 or 7.0. 6.0 Installing the S3 Display Driver from Diskette ___________________________________________________ To install the display driver from diskette, do the following: 1. If your system is not in VGA mode, set the display to VGA mode. See steps above. 2. Insert the S3 ViRGE display driver diskette, with the label "S3 DRV1", into drive A (or any other diskette drive). 3. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session. 4. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive: A:SETUP where A: is the diskette drive. Then press Enter. Setup will then identify your chipset. When prompted to do so, press Enter to continue. 5. When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" choice is pre-selected. Select OK. Do NOT select "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" since this method of setting refresh rates is not supported in this driver version. NOTE: DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file. If the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be supported. This process can take several seconds and will black-out the screen. 6. When the installation is complete, shut down your system, remove the diskette, and restart your computer. 7. When the system has restarted: a. Open the OS/2 System Folder. b. Open the System Setup Folder. c. Open the System object. d. When the Settings notebook (for OS/2 3.0) or System Properties (for OS/2 4.0) appears, select the Screen tab. If your monitor has been detected as Plug and-Play (DDC) compatible, go to step 9. 8. If your monitor has not been detected as DDC compatible, on page 2 of Screen Tab, select your display from the display list. If your display does not appear in the list, select Default. Restart your computer to ensure all refresh rate options are available. 9. When the system has restarted: a. Open the System object and select page 1 of Screen Tab, as in step 7. b. Select the desired screen resolution and a screen refresh rate. c. Close the Settings notebook or System Properties. d. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer. NOTES: o If the selected vertical refresh rate is not supported by your monitor, delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file and reboot. This will set the refresh rate to the default value. A new refresh rate can then be selected using the procedure described above. o During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the OS2\INSTALL directory. These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated and indicate whether the installation was successful. The contents of these files might be useful if you need to report an installation problem to IBM. o The display driver should be re-installed with any changes in video hardware configuration. Not re-installing the driver might result in serious system problems. o When starting a WIN-OS/2 session it is recommended that the user launch the session via one of the WIN-OS/2 icons located in the "Command Prompts" Folder within the "OS/2 System" icon. For additional information see section 9.0 Known Limitations. 7.0 Installing in a CID Environment ____________________________________ NOTES: o The server must contain a directory named S3_DRVS on the same drive where the OS/2 diskettes reside. The S3_DRVS directory must contain all of the files from the display device driver diskette. o OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the client using the CID (Configuration Installation Distribution) method. To install the S3 display device driver using CID, use the following information to modify your LCU command file. NOTE: The following information is meant as a guide. Your LCU command file might be different. /*****************************************************/ /* LCU PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . x.s3video = 15 x.15.name='S3 Video' x.15.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.15.name x.15.instprog = 'x:\img\s3_drvs\SETUP.CMD', ' /u /res:640x480x256' x.15.rspdir = '' x.15.default = '' /*---------------------------------------------------*/ /* NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SET UP IN THE */ /* PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*---------------------------------------------------*/ NUM_INSTALL_PROGS = 15 /*****************************************************/ /* INSTALLATION SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . when OVERALL_STATE = 2 then do if RunInstall(x.s3video) == BAD_RC then exit Call RebootAndGotoState(3) end when OVERALL_STATE = 3 then do if RunInstall(x.s3dspinstl) == BAD_RC then exit Call CheckBoot end . . . /******************************************************/ /* ROUTINE SECTION */ /* The following information should already exist in */ /* the LCU command file. */ /******************************************************/ . . . RebootAndGotoState: parse arg new_state, other rc2 = SetState(new_state, 'RebootAndGotoState', 1) /* Set the state */ /* to go to in */ /* OVERALL_STATE */ Call SaveStates /* Save the environment vars */ Call Reboot /* Reboot the machine */ return . . . /*****************************************************/ /* END OF LCU INFORMATION TO BE ADDED */ /*****************************************************/ Following is an explanation of the line that is executed in the LCU command file: C:\OS2\INSTALL\DSPINSTL /pd:c:\os2\install\00S3.dsc /S:X:\img\s3_drvs /T:C: /res:640x480x256 /u /pd:c:\os2\install\00S3.dsc is the dsc laid down during setup phase. /S:X:\img\s3_drvs where X:\img\s3_drvs is the redirected source path. /T:C: where C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed. /res:640x480x256 is a supported resolution and color depth combination. /u means Unattended installation. NOTES: o To select a refresh rate, SVGA.EXE can be executed again separately after DSPINSTL. Example, SVGA ON INIT 1024 75 This will create another \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file with 75Hz as the default at 1024x768 resolution. The prior \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file should be deleted first. o After the S3 display device driver has been successfully installed on the client machine using the CID method and the client machine is restarted, the resolution will be that specified by command line argument. o After the CID installation, refer the end user to section 6.0 "Installing the S3 Display Driver from Diskette," step 7. 8.0 Selecting Small or Large Fonts for Windows _______________________________________________ The default font sizes for Windows sessions are listed below. Resolution Default Font Size Available Fonts ---------- ----------------- --------------- 640x480 Small Small 800x600 Small Small/Large 1024x768 Large Small/Large 1280x1024 Large Small/Large 1600x1200 Large Small/Large Use the following procedure to change fonts for Windows sessions. 1. Open the OS/2 System Setup Folder and select the "S3 Windows Font Size" object. 2. Select the radio button next to the desired font size. 3. Select OK. 4. A dialog box appears with the message that the new settings will take effect the next time you restart your Windows session. Current open sessions will not be affected by the new settings. 5. Click OK. 6. Start any WIN-OS/2 window or full-screen session. Selected settings remain in effect until explicitly changed, or the display resolution or driver is changed. 9.0 Known Limitations ______________________ 1. CID install pauses due to SVGA.EXE loading in the background. Workaround: In the CID install script, do not initiate any other processes until DISPINSTL completes execution. Ensure that no other processes are running during CID install. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to the CONFIGSYSLINE keyword of the CID response file: SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY 2. During CID installation of IBM AntiVirus when using NetView DM/2, the OS/2 full screen is displayed as a black screen. Workaround: Perform CID install under VGA. 3. DISPINSTL does not allow CID selection of monitor and refresh rate. The workaround is as follows: a) Create a master cfg file using a system with the same graphics card and monitor configured with the S3 driver, the correct display type, and the desired resolution and refresh rate. b) Copy the video and display data files containing information about the display type, resolution and refresh rate to the CID server (\img\svgadata). > copy \os2\svgadata.pmi x:\img\svgadata > copy \os2\video.cfg x:\img\svgadata c) Create a CID Command file to copy svgadata.pmi and video.cfg to the client system's \os2 directory via CID. d) Execute the CID file. e) Reboot the client system. The client system will be configured with the correct driver, display type, resolution and refresh rate. 4. In OS/2 3.0, when attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from a DOS Full screen or DOS Window using the "WIN" command, be sure that the video settings of the session are set to enable this feature: a) Click, using the Number 1 mouse button, on the DOS Full Screen icon (or any DOS session icon you want to alter). A context sensitive menu will appear. b) Select Settings. The DOS Full Screen (or Window) Settings Notebook will appear. c) Select the Session tab. The DOS Full Screen or DOS Window Radio Button should already be selected. If not, select the desired radio button. d) Select the DOS Settings push button. e) Select the DOS Video Settings radio button. f) Select the OK push button. The DOS Settings - DOS Video Settings window will appear. g) From the list of settings which appear ensure that "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" is switched OFF, AND "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" is switched to ON. h) Select the Save push button. i) Close the DOS Full Screen (or Window) Settings Notebook. NOTES: o See notes below following item 5. 5. In OS/2 4.0, when attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from a DOS Full screen or DOS Window using the "WIN" command, be sure that the video settings of the session are set to enable this feature: a) Click, using the Number 2 mouse button, on the DOS Full Screen icon (or any DOS session icon you want to alter). A context sensitive menu will appear. b) Select Properties. The DOS Full Screen (or Window) Properties Notebook will appear. c) Select the Session tab. The DOS Full Screen or DOS Window Radio Button should already be selected. If not, select the desired radio button. d) Select the DOS Properties push button. e) Select the DOS Video Settings radio button. f) Select the OK push button. The DOS Settings - DOS Video Settings window will appear. g) From the list of settings which appear ensure that "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" is switched OFF, AND "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" is switched to ON. h) Select the Save push button. i) Close the DOS Full Screen (or Window) Settings Notebook. NOTES: o Any session started with this altered icon will support a Windows session started with the WIN command. o Some DOS games will not run properly with these altered settings. Therefore, it is recommended that you reset the altered settings to their defaults first. o If a WIN-OS2 session is started without changing the "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" or "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" options, and the WIN-OS2 session hangs, use the following recovery procedure rather than powering off your system: a) Press Ctrl+Esc. This displays the OS/2 Window List. b) Click, using the Number 2 mouse button, on the DOS session which has the WIN-OS2 session running. A context sensitive menu is displayed. c) Click, using the Number 1 mouse button, on the Close option. A DOS Window (or Full Screen) message is displayed stating that this session may have an active program and asking if it should be closed without saving your data. d) Click on the YES push button. The WIN-OS2 Session and the DOS Window (or Full Screen) will be closed. (End of Document)

At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive: A:SETUP where A: is the diskette drive. Then press Enter. Setup will then identify your chipset. When prompted to do so, press Enter to continue. Due to the limitations with a single pass installation. A dialog box may come up during installation with the message, "The installed adapter does not support the selected display driver. Do you wish to continue?". Please continue the installation by selecting the Yes button. 5. When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" choice is preselected. Select OK. Do not select "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" since this method of setting refresh rates is not supported anymore. NOTE: DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file. If the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be supported. This process can take several seconds and will black-out the screen. 6. When the Source Directory pop-up window requests the Vision868/968/Trio32/64/64V+/64V2 diskette insert the diskette labelled "S3 DRV1". If the Source Directory pop-up window requests the -CHIPDESC2- diskette insert the diskette labelled "S3 DRV2". Then select Install. 7. When prompted to do so, select OK to perform a shutdown, and then restart your computer. Make sure the diskette has been removed from the install drive. 8. When the system has restarted: a. Open the OS/2 System folder. b. Open the System Setup folder. c. Open the System object. d. When the Settings notebook appears, select the Screen tab. If your monitor has been detected as Plug and-Play (DDC) compatible, go to step 10. 9. On Screen page 2, select your display from the display list. If your display does not appear in the list, select Default. It might be necessary to restart your computer to have all refresh rate options available. 10. When the system has restarted: a. Open the System object and select Screen page 1, as in step 8. b. Select a screen resolution and a screen refresh rate. c. Close the Settings notebook. d. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer. NOTES: o If the selected vertical refresh rate is not supported by your monitor, delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file and reboot. This will set the refresh rate to the default value. A new refresh rate can now be selected using the procedure described above. o During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the OS/2\INSTALL directory. These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated and indicate whether the installation was successful. The contents of these files might be useful if you need to report an installation problem to IBM. o If the video memory size is changed after the device driver is installed, the device driver must be reinstalled in order for the system to recognize the change. Not reinstalling the driver might result in serious system problems. o When starting a WIN-OS/2 session it is recommended that the user launch the session via one of the WIN-OS/2 icons located in the "Command Prompts" folder within the "OS/2 System" icon. For additional information see section 10.0 Limitations. 7.0 Installing in a CID Environment ______________________________________ NOTES: o The server must contain a directory named S3_DRVS on the same drive where the OS/2 diskettes reside. The S3_DRVS directory must contain all of the files from the Vision864/964/868/968/Trio32/64/64V+/64V2 device driver diskette. o OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the client using the CID (Configuration Installation Distribution) method. To install the Vision864/964/868/968/Trio32/64/64V+/64V2 graphics-accelerator device driver using CID, use the following information to modify your LCU command file. NOTE: The following information is meant as a guide. Your LCU command file might be different. /*****************************************************/ /* LCU PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . x.s3video = 15 x.15.name='S3 Video' x.15.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.15.name x.15.instprog = 'x:\img\s3_drvs\SETUP.CMD', ' /u /s:x:\img\s3_drvs' x.15.rspdir = '' x.15.default = '' /*---------------------------------------------------*/ /* NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SET UP IN THE */ /* PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*---------------------------------------------------*/ NUM_INSTALL_PROGS = 15 /*****************************************************/ /* INSTALLATION SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . when OVERALL_STATE = 2 then do if RunInstall(x.s3video) == BAD_RC then exit Call RebootAndGotoState(3) end when OVERALL_STATE = 3 then do if RunInstall(x.s3dspinstl) == BAD_RC then exit Call CheckBoot end . . . /******************************************************/ /* ROUTINE SECTION */ /* The following information should already exist in */ /* the LCU command file. */ /******************************************************/ . . .

NOTES: o Be sure you have the stated video memory required, as listed in "Supported Resolutions" earlier in this README. A safe choice is 640x480x256. Any of the listed resolutions can be selected, but your display might be damaged if you select a resolution that your display does not support. o To select a refresh rate, SVGA.EXE can be executed again separately after DSPINSTL. Example, SVGA ON INIT 1024 75 This will create another \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file with 75Hz as the default at 1024x768 resolution. The prior \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file should be deleted first. o After the Vision864/964/868/968/Trio32/64/64V+/64V2 device driver has been successfully installed on the client machine using the CID method and the client machine is restarted, the resolution will be as specified by command line argument. o After the CID installation, refer the end user to section 6.0 "Installation from Diskette," step 12. 8.0 Selecting Small or Large Fonts for Windows _______________________________________ The default font sizes for Windows sessions are listed below. Resolution Default Font Size ---------- --------------------------- 640x480 Small 800x600 Small 1024x768 Large 1280x1024 Large 1600x1200 Large NOTE: Large fonts are not available for 640x480 resolution. Use the following procedures to select small or large fonts for Windows sessions. 1. Select the "S3 Windows Font Size" object in the OS/2 System Setup Folder. 2. Click on the radio button next to the font size you wish to select. 3. Click on the OK button. 4. A message will display saying that the new settings will take effect the next time you restart your Windows session. Currently open sessions will not be affected by the new settings. 5. Click on the OK button. 6. Start any WIN-OS/2 window or full-screen session. The setting you select will remain in effect until you explicitly change it, you change your display resolution, or you install a new display driver. 9.0 Features and Fixes Included in this Driver _____________________________________________ - "System - Settings" notebook support for setting refresh rate - Capabilities button of page 1 of the "System - Settings" notebook for large/small/automatic resource size selection (changes WIN-OS/2) font sizes as well - DDC monitor detection support - Windows "Large font" and "Small font" support in high resolutions - WIN-OS/2 based on latest S3 Windows 3.1 drivers - Two-diskette package - One boot install - EnDIVE support for Trio64V+ and Trio64V2 on certain video modes - CID install allow preselected refresh rate 10.0 Limitations _______________________ 1. CID install pauses due to SVGA.EXE loading in the background. Workaround: In the CID install script, do not initiate any other processes until DISPINSTL completes execution. Ensure that no other processes are running during CID install. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to the CONFIGSYSLINE keyword of the CID response file: SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY 2. During CID install of IBM AntiVirus when using NetView DM/2, the OS/2 full screen is displayed as a black screen. Workaround: Perform CID install under VGA. 3. DISPINSTL does not allow CID selection of monitor and refresh rate. The workaround is as follows: Requirements: * A system with the same graphics card and monitor configured with the S3 driver version 2.81.05, the correct display type, the desired resolution, and the desired refresh rate. Step 1: Copy Configured Video/Display Data Files * copy the video and display data files containing information about the display type, resolution and refresh rate to the CID server (\img\svgadata). > copy \os2\svgadata.pmi x:\img\svgadata > copy \os2\video.cfg x:\img\svgadata Step 2: Create CID Command File * create a command file to copy svgadata.pmi and video.cfg to the client system's \os2 directory via CID. * reboot the client system. * the client system will be configured with the correct driver, display type, resolution and refresh rate. Another work around is to delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG and to execute SVGA.EXE again after DSPINSTL completes. Example: SVGA ON INIT 1024 75 to set 75Hz as the default refresh rate at 1024x768. 4. In all modes, video corruption or out-of-sync screen is displayed when using Alt+Esc to switch between WIN-OS/2, OS/2, and DOS window and full-screen sessions started from the Startup folder. To avoid this situation, do not start sessions from the Startup folder or press Alt+Esc several times to restore. 5. Some programs, such as WINBENCH95, WINBENCH96, and After Dark 3.0, were written specifically for the Windows environment. In the Windows environment, these programs prevent any keystrokes from interfering with their proper execution. However, in the OS/2 environment, it is possible to switch context away from the Windows session without notifying these programs. General Protection Faults (GPFs) may result. Therefore, context switching during the execution of WINBENCH95 and WINBENCH96 tests is not recommended. Also, context switching during the execution of the After Dark 3.0 demo is not recommended. 6. When attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from an OS/2 Full Screen session by typing "WIN" or "WINOS2" at the command prompt, it will not execute with the settings needed to support WIN-OS/2, and will result in video corruption and/or a system lockup. It is recommended that the user launch all Windows sessions via one of the WIN-OS/2 icons located in the "Command Prompts" folder within the "OS/2 System" icon. 7. When attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from a DOS Full screen or DOS Window by typing the "WIN" or WINOS2" command, the user must first be sure that the video settings of the session are changed to enable this feature. These settings can be changed using the following procedure: a) Place mouse pointer over the DOS Full Screen icon (or any DOS session icon you want to alter). Press mouse button 2 (MB2), the right button, to bring up a context sensitive menu. b) Place mouse pointer over "Setting" and press MB1. Next, place mouse pointer over the tab labeled "Session" and press MB1 again. c) Use MB1 to chose the "DOS Setting" button. d) Use MB1 to chose the "DOS video settings" option, and then click OK. e) From the list of settings which appear ensure that "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" is switched OFF, AND "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" is switched to ON, then "save" these settings using MB1.

The 32 bpp device driver might need a large swap space on the hard disk, for example, 15 MB. 2.0 Compatibility __________________ This graphics-accelerator device driver is compatible with OS/2 2.11, and OS/2 Warp 3.0. 3.0 DDC Monitor Support _______________________________________ VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) 1 and 2B protocols are supported, allowing similarly enabled computers and operating system software to identify the monitor and its capabilities. This device driver automatically detects DDC monitor capabilities and sets the display to the maximum refresh rate supported by the monitor. If, after installing this device driver, you switch from a non-DDC monitor to a DDC monitor or switch to a different DDC monitor, you must run the DDC Display Setup program in the System Setup folder. Use the following procedures when installing a DDC monitor. 1. Reset the display to the lowest refresh rate available. This will prevent the system from attempting to display at a refresh rate higher than that supported by the new monitor. 2. Shut down your system and install the new monitor. 3. Restart your system. 4. Select the "DDC Display Setup" icon in the OS/2 System Folder. 5. When you are instructed to do so, shut down your system and restart it. 4.0 Preliminary Steps ______________________ The following steps must be performed before you install the ViRGE,ViRGE/VX,ViRGE/DX,ViRGE/GX,ViRGE/GX2 graphics-accelerator device driver: 1. You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed. 2. If you previously installed SVGA support, you must reset the resolution to VGA mode, using the procedures in "Setting Your Display to VGA Mode" (section 5.0 in this README). 3. The device driver diskette must be labeled "S3 DRV1." 4. After driver installation, the OS/2 SYSLEVEL command may be used to confirm the new driver version level. It may also be used prior to installation to verify the current driver version, however, some previous device drivers did not provide this information. Following execution of the SYSLEVEL command look for the following information: C:\OS2\INSTALLATION\SYSLEVEL.VID ViRGE,ViRGE/VX,ViRGE/DX,ViRGE/GX,ViRGE/GX2 Version 2.81 Component ID 562107701 Current CSD level: S328103 Prior CSD level: S328018 In this case the current version level is S3 2.81.03. 5. In some situations, installing this driver over 2.80.xx and 2.81.xx versions of the driver can result in duplicated icons. To prevent this problem, you should delete the "S3 Windows Font Size" and "DDC Display Setup" icons from the System Setup Folder prior to installing this driver. 5.0 Setting Your Display to VGA Mode _____________________________________ Use the following procedures to reset to VGA mode.

During CID install of IBM AntiVirus when using NetView DM/2, the OS/2 full screen is displayed as a black screen. Workaround: Perform CID install under VGA. 3. DISPINSTL does not allow CID selection of monitor and refresh rate. The workaround is as follows: Requirements: * A system with the same graphics card and monitor configured with the S3 driver version 2.81.05, the correct display type, the desired resolution, and the desired refresh rate. Step 1: Copy Configured Video/Display Data Files * copy the video and display data files containing information about the display type, resolution and refresh rate to the CID server (\img\svgadata). > copy \os2\svgadata.pmi x:\img\svgadata > copy \os2\video.cfg x:\img\svgadata Step 2: Create CID Command File * create a command file to copy svgadata.pmi and video.cfg to the client system's \os2 directory via CID. * reboot the client system. * the client system will be configured with the correct driver, display type, resolution and refresh rate. 4. In all modes, video corruption or out-of-sync screen is displayed when using Alt+Esc to switch between WIN-OS/2, OS/2, and DOS window and full-screen sessions started from the Startup folder. To avoid this situation, do not start sessions from the Startup folder or press Alt+Esc several times to restore. 5. Some programs, such as WINBENCH95, WINBENCH96, and After Dark 3.0, were written specifically for the Windows environment. In the Windows environment, these programs prevent any keystrokes from interfering with their proper execution. However, in the OS/2 environment, it is possible to switch context away from the Windows session without notifying these programs. General Protection Faults (GPFs) may result. Therefore, context switching during the execution of WINBENCH95 and WINBENCH96 tests is not recommended. Also, context switching during the execution of the After Dark 3.0 demo is not recommended. 6. When attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from an OS/2 Full Screen session by typing "WIN" or "WINOS2" at the command prompt, it will not execute with the settings needed to support WIN-OS/2, and will result in video corruption and/or a system lockup. It is recommended that the user launch all Windows sessions via one of the WIN-OS/2 icons located in the "Command Prompts" folder within the "OS/2 System" icon. 7. When attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from a DOS Full screen or DOS Window by typing the "WIN" or WINOS2" command, the user must first be sure that the video settings of the session are changed to enable this feature. These settings can be changed using the following procedure: a) Place mouse pointer over the DOS Full Screen icon (or any DOS session icon you want to alter). Press mouse button 2 (MB2), the right button, to bring up a context sensitive menu. b) Place mouse pointer over "Setting" and press MB1. Next, place mouse pointer over the tab labeled "Session" and press MB1 again. c) Use MB1 to chose the "DOS Setting" button. d) Use MB1 to chose the "DOS video settings" option, and then click OK. e) From the list of settings which appear ensure that "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" is switched OFF, AND "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" is switched to ON, then "save" these settings using MB1.

For TrueColor modes (16.7M) a large swap space on the hard disk (e.g. 15 MB or greater) is recommended. 2.0 Compatibility __________________ This graphics accelerator device driver is compatible with OS/2 2.11, OS/2 Warp 3.0, and OS/2 Warp 4.0. The installation procedures for the three supported versions of OS/2 will vary. Please read this entire document to determine the required steps for your environment. 3.0 DDC Monitor Support ________________________ VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) 1 and 2B protocols are supported, allowing similarly enabled computers and operating system software to identify the monitor and its capabilities. This device driver automatically detects DDC monitor capabilities and adjusts the available selections to match the monitors capabilities. If the monitor attached to the system is included on the list, which appears on page 2 of the System Properties Screen Tab, that monitor should be used, not the DDC or Default. When switching to a different monitor, you must run the DDC Display Setup program in the System Setup Folder. Use the following procedure after attaching a different DDC monitor to your system. 1. In the System Setup Folder, reset the display to the lowest refresh rate available. This will prevent the system from attempting to display at a refresh rate higher than that supported by the new monitor. 2. Shut down your system and install the new monitor. 3. Restart your system. 4. Select the "DDC Display Setup" icon in the OS/2 System Folder. 5. When you are instructed to do so, shut down your system and restart it. 4.0 Preliminary Steps ______________________ The following steps must be performed before you install the display device driver: 1. You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed. 2. If you previously installed SVGA support, you must reset the resolution to VGA mode, using the procedures in "Setting Your Display to VGA Mode" (section 5.0 in this README). 3. Use "Label A:" to verify that the device driver diskette is labeled "S3 DRV1." 4. The OS/2 SYSLEVEL command may be used prior to installation to verify the current driver version. NOTE: some previous device drivers did not provide this information. Execute the SYSLEVEL command and look for the information similar to the following: C:\OS2\INSTALLATION\SYSLEVEL.VID ViRGE,ViRGE/VX,ViRGE/DX,ViRGE/GX Version 2.81 Component ID 562107701 Current CSD level: S328103 Prior CSD level: S328018 In this case the current version level is S3 2.81.03. 5.0 VGA Mode Reset ___________________ Use the following procedures to reset to VGA mode. NOTE: If your display is out of sync, start OS/2 using the OS/2 Installation Diskette. Insert Diskette 1 when prompted, press F3 to display a command prompt, and then use the following instructions to reset your display mode. o OS/2 Warp 3.0 or OS/2 Warp 4.0 VGA mode reset: 1. Restart your computer. 2. Simultaneously press Alt and F1 key immediately when a square block appears in the top left hand corner. 3. In OS/2 Warp 3.0, press 'v' key for VGA. In OS/2 Warp 4.0, press F3 key for VGA. 4. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer. 5. Proceed to Section 6.0 or 7.0. o OS/2 2.11 or OS/2 for Windows VGA mode reset: 1. Before running RSPDSPI, delete the following file: [OS2 DRIVE]:\OS2\INSTALL\00S3.DSC 2. Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL directory. If it is, go to step 3. If installing from diskette, insert OS/2 Diskette 8 into drive A and unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following command: C:\OS2\UNPACK A:\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE where A: is the drive containing Diskette 8, and C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed. If installing from CD or LAN, unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following command: C:\OS2\UNPACK E:\DISK_8\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE where C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed, and E: is the CD-ROM or LAN drive. 3. Type C: and then press Enter. 4. Type CD C:\OS2\INSTALL and then press Enter. 5. If installing from diskette, type the following: RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:C: In /S:A:, A: is the source diskette drive for installing the device driver. In /T:C:, C: is the target drive where OS/2 is installed. If installing from CD or LAN, type the following: RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:E:\OS2SE21\ /T:C: In /S:E:, E: is the source CD-ROM or LAN drive. In /T:C:, C: is the target drive where OS/2 is installed. Then press Enter. 6. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer. 7. Proceed to Section 6.0 or 7.0. 6.0 Installing the S3 Display Driver from Diskette ___________________________________________________ To install the display driver from diskette, do the following: 1. If your system is not in VGA mode, set the display to VGA mode. See steps above. 2. Insert the S3 ViRGE display driver diskette, with the label "S3 DRV1", into drive A (or any other diskette drive). 3. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session. 4. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive: A:SETUP where A: is the diskette drive. Then press Enter. Setup will then identify your chipset. When prompted to do so, press Enter to continue. 5. When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" choice is pre-selected. Select OK. Do NOT select "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" since this method of setting refresh rates is not supported in this driver version. NOTE: DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file. If the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be supported. This process can take several seconds and will black-out the screen. 6. When the installation is complete, shut down your system, remove the diskette, and restart your computer. 7. When the system has restarted: a. Open the OS/2 System Folder. b. Open the System Setup Folder. c. Open the System object. d. When the Settings notebook (for OS/2 3.0) or System Properties (for OS/2 4.0) appears, select the Screen tab. If your monitor has been detected as Plug and-Play (DDC) compatible, go to step 9. 8. If your monitor has not been detected as DDC compatible, on page 2 of Screen Tab, select your display from the display list. If your display does not appear in the list, select Default. Restart your computer to ensure all refresh rate options are available. 9. When the system has restarted: a. Open the System object and select page 1 of Screen Tab, as in step 7. b. Select the desired screen resolution and a screen refresh rate. c. Close the Settings notebook or System Properties. d. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer. NOTES: o If the selected vertical refresh rate is not supported by your monitor, delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file and reboot. This will set the refresh rate to the default value. A new refresh rate can then be selected using the procedure described above. o During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the OS2\INSTALL directory. These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated and indicate whether the installation was successful. The contents of these files might be useful if you need to report an installation problem to IBM. o The display driver should be re-installed with any changes in video hardware configuration. Not re-installing the driver might result in serious system problems. o When starting a WIN-OS/2 session it is recommended that the user launch the session via one of the WIN-OS/2 icons located in the "Command Prompts" Folder within the "OS/2 System" icon. For additional information see section 9.0 Known Limitations. 7.0 Installing in a CID Environment ____________________________________ NOTES: o The server must contain a directory named S3_DRVS on the same drive where the OS/2 diskettes reside. The S3_DRVS directory must contain all of the files from the display device driver diskette. o OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the client using the CID (Configuration Installation Distribution) method. To install the S3 display device driver using CID, use the following information to modify your LCU command file. NOTE: The following information is meant as a guide. Your LCU command file might be different. /*****************************************************/ /* LCU PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . x.s3video = 15 x.15.name='S3 Video' x.15.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.15.name x.15.instprog = 'x:\img\s3_drvs\SETUP.CMD', ' /u /res:640x480x256' x.15.rspdir = '' x.15.default = '' /*---------------------------------------------------*/ /* NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SET UP IN THE */ /* PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*---------------------------------------------------*/ NUM_INSTALL_PROGS = 15 /*****************************************************/ /* INSTALLATION SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . when OVERALL_STATE = 2 then do if RunInstall(x.s3video) == BAD_RC then exit Call RebootAndGotoState(3) end when OVERALL_STATE = 3 then do if RunInstall(x.s3dspinstl) == BAD_RC then exit Call CheckBoot end . . . /******************************************************/ /* ROUTINE SECTION */ /* The following information should already exist in */ /* the LCU command file. */ /******************************************************/ . . .

NOTES: o To select a refresh rate, SVGA.EXE can be executed again separately after DSPINSTL. Example, SVGA ON INIT 1024 75 This will create another \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file with 75Hz as the default at 1024x768 resolution. The prior \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file should be deleted first. o After the S3 display device driver has been successfully installed on the client machine using the CID method and the client machine is restarted, the resolution will be that specified by command line argument. o After the CID installation, refer the end user to section 6.0 "Installing the S3 Display Driver from Diskette," step 7. 8.0 Selecting Small or Large Fonts for Windows _______________________________________________ The default font sizes for Windows sessions are listed below. Resolution Default Font Size Available Fonts ---------- ----------------- --------------- 640x480 Small Small 800x600 Small Small/Large 1024x768 Large Small/Large 1280x1024 Large Small/Large 1600x1200 Large Small/Large Use the following procedure to change fonts for Windows sessions. 1. Open the OS/2 System Setup Folder and select the "S3 Windows Font Size" object. 2. Select the radio button next to the desired font size. 3. Select OK. 4. A dialog box appears with the message that the new settings will take effect the next time you restart your Windows session. Current open sessions will not be affected by the new settings. 5. Click OK. 6. Start any WIN-OS/2 window or full-screen session. Selected settings remain in effect until explicitly changed, or the display resolution or driver is changed. 9.0 Known Limitations ______________________ 1. CID install pauses due to SVGA.EXE loading in the background. Workaround: In the CID install script, do not initiate any other processes until DISPINSTL completes execution. Ensure that no other processes are running during CID install. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to the CONFIGSYSLINE keyword of the CID response file: SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY 2. During CID installation of IBM AntiVirus when using NetView DM/2, the OS/2 full screen is displayed as a black screen. Workaround: Perform CID install under VGA. 3. DISPINSTL does not allow CID selection of monitor and refresh rate. The workaround is as follows: a) Create a master cfg file using a system with the same graphics card and monitor configured with the S3 driver, the correct display type, and the desired resolution and refresh rate. b) Copy the video and display data files containing information about the display type, resolution and refresh rate to the CID server (\img\svgadata). > copy \os2\svgadata.pmi x:\img\svgadata > copy \os2\video.cfg x:\img\svgadata c) Create a CID Command file to copy svgadata.pmi and video.cfg to the client system's \os2 directory via CID. d) Execute the CID file. e) Reboot the client system. The client system will be configured with the correct driver, display type, resolution and refresh rate. 4. In OS/2 3.0, when attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from a DOS Full screen or DOS Window using the "WIN" command, be sure that the video settings of the session are set to enable this feature: a) Click, using the Number 1 mouse button, on the DOS Full Screen icon (or any DOS session icon you want to alter). A context sensitive menu will appear. b) Select Settings. The DOS Full Screen (or Window) Settings Notebook will appear. c) Select the Session tab. The DOS Full Screen or DOS Window Radio Button should already be selected. If not, select the desired radio button. d) Select the DOS Settings push button. e) Select the DOS Video Settings radio button. f) Select the OK push button. The DOS Settings - DOS Video Settings window will appear. g) From the list of settings which appear ensure that "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" is switched OFF, AND "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" is switched to ON. h) Select the Save push button. i) Close the DOS Full Screen (or Window) Settings Notebook. NOTES: o See notes below following item 5. 5. In OS/2 4.0, when attempting to start a WIN-OS/2 session from a DOS Full screen or DOS Window using the "WIN" command, be sure that the video settings of the session are set to enable this feature: a) Click, using the Number 2 mouse button, on the DOS Full Screen icon (or any DOS session icon you want to alter). A context sensitive menu will appear. b) Select Properties. The DOS Full Screen (or Window) Properties Notebook will appear. c) Select the Session tab. The DOS Full Screen or DOS Window Radio Button should already be selected. If not, select the desired radio button. d) Select the DOS Properties push button. e) Select the DOS Video Settings radio button. f) Select the OK push button. The DOS Settings - DOS Video Settings window will appear. g) From the list of settings which appear ensure that "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" is switched OFF, AND "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" is switched to ON. h) Select the Save push button. i) Close the DOS Full Screen (or Window) Settings Notebook. NOTES: o Any session started with this altered icon will support a Windows session started with the WIN command. o Some DOS games will not run properly with these altered settings. Therefore, it is recommended that you reset the altered settings to their defaults first. o If a WIN-OS2 session is started without changing the "VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP" or "VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION" options, and the WIN-OS2 session hangs, use the following recovery procedure rather than powering off your system: a) Press Ctrl+Esc. This displays the OS/2 Window List. b) Click, using the Number 2 mouse button, on the DOS session which has the WIN-OS2 session running. A context sensitive menu is displayed. c) Click, using the Number 1 mouse button, on the Close option. A DOS Window (or Full Screen) message is displayed stating that this session may have an active program and asking if it should be closed without saving your data. d) Click on the YES push button. The WIN-OS2 Session and the DOS Window (or Full Screen) will be closed. (End of Document)
