* 1. CONTENTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE
************************************************************
The Intel(r) 810 Chipset GRADD display driver provides unaccelerated display graphics for
PM and WinOS2 applications in SVGA color depths and resolutions. It
also provides monitor selection and refresh configuration capability.

The Intel 810 GRADD display driver includes system components required for
GRADD operation as released by IBM on 11/17/1998 as
"BBS Video Build Level 0.079". The installation will not replace GRADD system
components from a more recent build, as checked by the date of the
top component \os2\dll\gre2vman.dll

************************************************************
* 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
************************************************************

1. The system must contain one of the following Intel
chipsets:

Intel(r) 810 Chipset

2. The following operating system must be installed on the
system:
OS/2 Warp v4.0 with fixpack5 or later
OS/2 Warp v3.0 with fixpak 35 or later
OS/2 Warp v4.0 for Japan with fixpack5 or later
OS/2 Warp v3.0 for Japan with fixpak 35 or later

4. This software has been designed solely for use with
OS/2 Warp v4.0 fixpack5 or later
OS/2 Warp v3.0 fixpak 35 or later
OS/2 Warp v4.0 for Japan with fixpack5 or later
OS/2 Warp v3.0 for Japan with fixpak 35 or later

5. The system must be setup in VGA mode. For instructions, refer to
"How to Deinstall software" section.

To determine the level of OS/2 running, execute SYSLEVEL command from
any OS/2 command prompt.

Future fixes and updates for the OS/2 fixpacks and GRADD system
components can be found via the internet at:

http://service5.boulder.ibm.com/pspfixpk.nsf

************************************************************
* 3. INSTALLING AND EXECUTING THE SOFTWARE
************************************************************

INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE
__________________________

1. Check the System Requirements. OS/2 must be fully
installed and running on the system prior to running this
software. The system must be in VGA mode. If installing additional
fixpacks, do so while the system is in VGA mode. For instructions
on setting the desktop in VGA mode, refer to "Deinstalling the
software" section. All WinOS2 sessions must be closed prior to
installing this driver.

1. Insert the Intel GRADD driver diskette into drive A (or any other diskette
drive).
2. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session.At the OS/2 command prompt,
change to A: drive.
3. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all
necessary files to the OS/2 drive:

SETUP <SrcPath> <BootDrive> [/u]

<SrcPath> is the diskette drive

<BootDrive> is the drive where OS/2 is installed.

[/u] is optional and is used to indicate unattended install
such as for CID installations. A CID response file is
not required.

Page 4

Then press Enter.
A number of system files will be transferred if the ones found on the
system are older. When a popup asking for Monitor configuration choice
pops up, accept "Use monitor defaults" choice.
The installation will then blank the screen while testing VESA modes and
if successful, it will transfer driver files.
4. When prompted to do so, remove the diskette from drive A, perform a
shutdown, and then restart your computer.
5. When the system reboots, do the following:
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.
e. Select a resolution from the page 1.
f. Select a monitor from page 2.
g. Select refresh setting from the page 1 of the Screen tab.
h. Close the Settings notebook.
i. The selected resolution will be in effect upon the next boot.

INSTALLATION IN A CID ENVIRONMENT
_________________________________

1. Create a directory on the server (i.e. GRADDS). Copy the files from the
Intel GRADD driver diskette to the GRADDS directory.
2. OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the client using the CID
(Configuration Installation Distribution) method.

To install a GRADD 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.

************************************************************
* 4. VERIFYING INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE
************************************************************
1. Open the OS/2 System folder.
2. Open the System Setup folder.
3. Open the System object.
4. When the Settings notebook appears, select the Screen tab.
5. Select Configuration from the page 2.

************************************************************
* 5. TROUBLESHOOTING
************************************************************

This section provides troubleshooting information.

Installation problems
---------------------
1. 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 Intel.

2. Installation of the GRADD uses the Dspinstl utility shipped with OS/2 4.0.
This utility can fail if if finds a "*.dsc" file which is not a dspinstl
description file. During testing, it was found that installation of
SystemView for OS/2 client may leave behind a file called "commonag.dsc"
on the root of the bootdrive. This file is not a Dspinstl description
file and will cause Dspinstl to fail. If you have this problem, simply
rename or delete the problem file. If an incorrect description file is
encountered, it will be noted in the above log(s).

How to determine if the Intel 810 Chipset OS/2 GRADD
Display Driver is loaded
-------------------------------------------------------
Refer to section 4: Verifying installation of the software.
Refer to section 7: Identifying the software version number.

************************************************************
* 6. DE-INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
************************************************************
Use the following procedures to return to VGA mode and deinstall the software.

1. Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, press
Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart it.
2. When a small white box appears in the upper left-hand corner of your
screen, press Alt+F1.
3. When the Recovery Choices screen appears, press function key F3.
4. Your desktop will now boot in VGA mode.

This de-installation procedure is specific only to the
version of the driver and installation file included in this
package.

************************************************************
* 7. IDENTIFYING THE SOFTWARE VERSION NUMBER
************************************************************
You may execute bldlevel command as follows:
cd \os2\dll
bldlevel intgradd.dll

The "Vendor" string should say "INT" and "Revision" string should be
the same as Revision value of this readme. The vendor and revision
strings can also be found in the build.lvl file on the installation diskette.
