the OS/2 Warp V3 only. These drivers will NOT work correctly
on OS/2 Version 2.x.
Requirements

Before You Start
Before installation of this display driver, the system
display should be set to VGA mode. VGA is the default video
mode enabled when OS/2 is first installed.
If the current system primary display is not VGA, or if a
previous version of this driver is being used, the system
should first be returned to VGA mode. To restore VGA mode,
use Selective Install and select VGA for Primary Display.
