OS/2 Video Device Driver for the
teleGRAPHICS 64V+/V2/DX/3D/3DX
Driver Version 3.03.01
1.0 Compatibility
This graphics-accelerator device driver is compatible with OS/2
2.11, and OS/2 Warp 3.0.
2.0 Preliminary Steps
The following steps must be performed before you install the
teleGRAPHICS 64V+/V2/DX/3D/3DX 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 "teleGRAPHICS 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
teleGRAPHICS 64V+/V2/DX/3D/3DX
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.
3.0 Setting Your Display to VGA Mode
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 If you are installing this driver on OS/2 Warp, do the
following:
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 V.
Your display adapter is restored and can work in VGA mode. If
you want to install a new display adapter or video device
driver, refer to Chapter 16, "Video Procedures," in the User's
Guide to OS/2 Warp.
o If you are installing this driver on OS/2 2.11 or OS/2 for
Windows, and you installed from diskettes, do the following:
1. Before running RSPDSPI, delete the following file:
[OS2 DRIVE]:\OS2\INSTALL\TRIOV1.DSC
2. Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL directory. If it
is, go to step 3. If it is not, insert 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.
3. Type C: and then press Enter.
4. Type CD C:\OS2\INSTALL and then press Enter.
5. Type the following:
RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:C:
In /T:C:, C: is the target drive where OS/2 is installed. In /S:A:,
A: is the source diskette drive for installing the device driver.
Then press Enter.
o If you are installing this driver on OS/2 2.11 or OS/2 for
Windows, and you installed from CD-ROM or a LAN, do the
following:
1. Before running RSPDSPI, delete the following files:
[OS2 DRIVE]:\OS2\INSTALL\TRIOV1.DSC
2. Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL directory. If it
is, go to step 3. If it is not, 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. Type the following:
RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:E:\OS2SE21\ /T:C:
In /T:C:, C: is the target drive where OS/2 is installed. In /S:E:,
E: is the source CD-ROM or LAN drive.
Then press Enter.
4.0 Installing from CD-ROM
To install the teleGRAPHICS 64V+/V2/DX/3D/3DX device driver
from CD-ROM, do the following:
1. If system is not in VGA mode, select VGA mode.
2. Insert the CD-ROM into CD-ROM 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:
D:\TGVDX\OS2\SETUP
(Assume CD-ROM is on drive D:)
Then press Enter.
Setup will then identify your chipset. When prompted to do so, press
Enter to continue.
5. 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.
6. Open the OS/2 System folder.
7. Open the System Setup folder.
8. Open the Display Driver Install object or enter "dspinstl" at
an OS/2 command prompt. When the Display Driver Install window
appears, select Primary Display Driver and then select OK.
9. When the "Primary Display Driver List" window appears, select
"teleGRAPHICS 64V+/V2/DX/3D/3DX" [32Bit] Version 3.03.01" to
install the video driver.
10. When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears,
the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" choice is
preselected. You can accept this choice or select "Install
Using Display Adapter Utility Program" to choose a different
refresh rate. Then select OK.
If you select the "Install Using Display Adapter Utility
Program" choice, you must have the DOS monitor utility program
that came with your display adapter. Contact the display
adapter manufacturer's technical support for information on how
to use the monitor utility program under OS/2.
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.
11. When the Source Directory pop-up window appears, insert
"teleGRAPHICS 64V+/V2/DX/3D/3DX" diskette into drive A.
Then select Install.
12. When the installation is complete, shut down your system, remove
the diskette, and restart your computer.
13. 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 15.
14. 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.
15. When the system has restarted:
a. Open the System object and select Screen page 1, as in step
13.
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 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.
