This file tells how to install the Windows drivers on your computer.


NOTE:  If you select a driver that requires more video memory than is
       available in the video subsystem, Windows will not operate 
       correctly.  Run Windows SETUP and select a driver with the 
       appropriate video subsystem memory requirement.




Installing the Video Drivers and Power Management Feature Under Windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Graphic Installation Interface lets you easily install the Trident
display drivers and power management feature from within Windows.
Follow these steps:

1. First install MS Windows 3.1 using the standard IBM VGA driver.

2. Make sure Windows 3.1 is working properly.  Have your Windows 3.1
   Setup diskettes on hand, as the installation process requires them.

3. Run Windows 3.1 and select the MAIN group in the Program Manager.

4. Insert the this diskette in a floppy drive, such as drive A.

5. Select FILE MANAGER in the MAIN group, then select the floppy drive
   that this diskette is in ( e.g., drive A:).

6. Double-click on the file TINSTALL.EXE, which resides in the \WIN
   subdirectory of this diskette.  TINSTALL copies ALL driver files
   into a subdirectory named TRIDENT on your hard disk.  If desired,
   you can use another directory name instead of the default name,
   TRIDENT.  TINSTALL also copies the font files that the drivers use
   from your Windows Setup diskettes to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

   NOTE:  TINSTALL expects to find certain font files on certain Windows
	  Setup diskettes.  If you have a European-language version of Windows,
	  such as German, some font files are on different diskettes.  When 
	  the program does not find a file on a diskette, a Check Diskette 
	  window opens.  Select the "As It Was" option in this window.  Then 
	  continue with the installation, inserting Windows Setup diskettes 
	  in the floppy drive in sequential order, until the program finds 
	  all the files it needs and finishes the installation.

   The program creates a program group named GRAPHICS DRIVER & UTILITIES.  
   This window contains DRIVER SETUP, UINSTALL and POWER MANAGEMENT icons.
   (The POWER MANAGEMENT icon occurs only on TGUI9400CXi and the later chips,
   it does not occur on the 8900/9000 series chips.)

7. Click DRIVER SETUP, then the SELECT button to choose a crivers set. Select a suitable 
   driver and click Setup.  Follow the instructions to finish Setup.



VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)
-----------------------------------------------
The POWER MANAGEMENT program, in the DRIVER & UTILITIES program group,
is designed for energy-saving monitors that conform to the VESA Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) standard. If your monitor meets the VESA
DPMS specification, you can use POWER MANAGEMENT to decrease monitor energy
consumption.  The program offers three power-down modes:
 1.  Standby (minimum power saving)
 2.  Suspend (substantial power saving)
 3.  Off state (maximum power saving)

The program monitors mouse and/or keyboard activity.  When it detects no
activity for a specified delay period, the program signals the monitor to
enter the selected power-down mode.

NOTE:  1. Be sure your monitor supports the VESA DPMS standard before using the
          POWER MANAGEMENT program.  If your monitor does not support DPMS, it 
          may malfunction or operate unpredictably when you enable the program.

       2. Power Management Program ONLY supports TGUI9400CXi and the later
	  chips, it does not run correctly on the earlier TVGA chips.


		Power Management Program Options
		--------------------------------
Delay Time -   First, DISABLE the program (click the Enable/Disable button
	       at the bottom of the window so Enable shows, indicating that
	       the program is Disabled).  Then set a delay time, from 0 to
	       999 minutes, for each mode.  The monitor first enters the
	       power-down mode with the shortest delay time.  When it reaches
	       the next-shortest delay time, it enters the corresponding mode.
	       And last, it enters the power-down mode with the longest delay
	       time.  We recommend that you leave OFF STATE with the longest
	       delay time, because the monitor cannot enter any other mode
	       from OFF STATE.
	
Clock On/Off - Turns the delay timer display (the digital display in the
	       upper left of the window) on or off.  The display shows only
	       when the program is ENABLED.
	
Clock Alarm -  When the alarm is set, the computer beeps for 5 seconds before
	       entering a power-down mode.

Touch Types -  Selects which device(s) to monitor for activity.  The delay
	       timer will reset to the specified delay time when activity is
	       detected on the selected device(s).

Password -     After you select a password and ENABLE the option, you must enter
	       your password before the monitor can exit any power-down mode it
	       has entered. USE THIS FEATURE WITH CARE! If you forget the 
	       password, you may be "locked in" at one power down mode.


Auto Start/ - Auto Start automatically loads the program in a minimized icon
Uninstall     at the bottom of the Windows desktop each time you start Windows.
	      Uninstall cancels the automatic start feature.  Keep in mind that
	      the button label is the OPPOSITE of the active state.

Test -        Lets you test the sequence of power-down modes.

Enable/  -    Enables or disables the Power Management program.  Keep in mind
Disable       that the button label is the OPPOSITE of the active state.

Exit  -       Closes the program window.



Selecting a Driver Through Windows SETUP
----------------------------------------
If you don't want the DISPLAY DRIVER & UTILITIES program group in your
Windows Program Manager, you can select a high-resolution driver with
Windows SETUP.

1. First install MS Windows 3.1 using the standard IBM VGA driver.

2. Make sure Windows 3.1 is working properly.  Exit Windows.

3. Change to your Windows 3.1 directory (e.g., c:\WINDOWS).

4. At the DOS prompt, type SETUP.  When the program opens, highlight
   the Display field under System Information.

5. Insert this disk in your floppy drive and select the display driver
   option "Other (requires diskette...)".

6. When prompted, enter the path of this disk (e.g., A:\WIN).

7. Select a suitable driver.

8. Follow the program instructions to finish SETUP.




Installing the Trident Drivers Over a Network
---------------------------------------------

You cannot install Windows drivers on a network with SETUP/N,  using the
SETUP method described previously.  The driver files are not copied
correctly to the network Windows directory or the local Windows directory,
because the standard SETUP program uses Microsoft COMPRESS to expand
the compressed files, while SETUP/N does not.

Here is the solution:

1.  Expand the five Windows 3.1 disks to your network Windows
    directory, following the directions in "Getting Started with
    Microsoft Windows," pages 6-9.

2.  Use the same method to expand the Trident Windows drivers
    to the same network Windows directory.

3.  Run SETUP/N to install Windows, following the directions in the
    "Getting Started" manual.  Select "Other" as the Trident Display Driver.

4.  Enter the path of the TRIDENT drivers (i.e., your Windows 
    network directory).

5.  Select a suitable TRIDENT driver.

6.  Follow the program instructions to finish SETUP/N.
