=============
FOR: ALG2228/2301 CHIPSET
=========================
The driver set consists of the following disk:
- Display Driver Diskette 1 (volume label DISP 1)
- Display Driver Diskette 2 (volume label DISP 2)
INSTALLATION:
-------------
The OS/2 installation procedure is as follows:
1- Under OS/2 desktop select icon: OS/2 System and then
icon: Command Prompts.
2- Select OS/2 Window (either Desktop or FullScreen).
3- Insert the driver diskette 1 into the floppy drive. (e.g. drive A:)
4- Run INSTALL.BAT or INSTALL.CMD. (e.g. if the floppy drive
is A: and OS/2 is installed on C: then type "A:\install a c")
For help on INSTALL.BAT, just type "A:\install".
This will load necessary files needed for OS/2 installation on
the hard disk.
Steps 1-4 are required only for the first time installation of
Avance Logic drivers. On subsequent installation of drivers
you may skip the steps 1-4.
5- On OS/2 window (under Command Prompt) run DSPINSTL.
6- Select "Primary Display" and click on "OK".
7- Select "Avance Logic, Inc." in the driver selection menu.
8- Select "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" in the
menu "Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility".
9- Select desired display resolution.
10- Use Disks: Display Driver Diskettes 1 and 2 when prompted.
NOTE:
-----
- Please note the volume label of "Display Driver Diskettes" are
"DISP 1" and "DISP 2", respectively. If you make copies of these
disks, make sure you give correct volume labels. (Use
DOS command "LABEL" to change the volume label of a disk.)
- To change resolution of the installed drivers, it is necessary
to perform the installation steps 5-10 as stated above.
- Under OS/2 desktop, if you are running Windows Seamless session
it is possible that the shades of colors may change in the
OS/2 desktop. This may happen because of palette change and it
is quite O.K. To refresh the screen click mouse on OS/2 desktop
with Button 2 (just like you do the system shutdown) and choose
menu item "Refresh Now". This will refresh the OS/2 desktop
with correct color shades. However, this will not correct any
palette problem for applications running under Windows Seamless.
- While installing Avance Logic, Inc. SVGA drivers, you may get
a message saying "...target file *.* is newer than the source
file...Select O.K. to overwrite...". On this message
select "OK".
DE-INSTALLING DISPLAY DRIVERS:
------------------------------
- It is important to note that you must de-install Avance Logic, Inc.
drivers and load SVGA (Super VGA) drivers before you change the
video board on the system. To change to SVGA drivers follow the
following steps.
- If you want to remove Avance Logic, Inc. display drivers,
follow steps 5-10 and select "Super VGA (SVGA)" instead of
"Avance Logic, Inc." when prompted at step 7. Use IBM's OS/2
original disks during this installation. During this
installation you may get a message saying "... File BVHSVGA
is newer than source file ...". Press O.K. to this dialogue
box. It is not necessary to perform shutdown at this point.
Open either DOS or OS/2 window. Insert Avance Logic's driver
diskette 1 in the floppy drive and run "DEINSTAL". For instance,
if OS/2 has been installed on drive C then type: "A:\deinstal c".
This will restore the original files changed during installation
of Avance Logic drivers. For help on "DEINSTAL" just type
"A:\deinstal".
Perform system shutdown now, for the changes to take effect.
Please note that if your copy of OS/2 is on CD-ROM, make copies
of "Display Driver Diskettes" from CD-ROM to floppy disks before
you perform the de-installation steps as you need the said disks.
Check OS/2 user manual for instructions as to how to make copies
of OS/2 diskettes from CD-ROM to floppy disks.
