INSTALLING OS/2 VIDEO SUPPORT

Requirements 
============

     * HP OmniBook 2000/5700 with OS/2 Warp 4.0.

     * HP OmniBook drivers for Video.  This driver is located on the World
       Wide Web at http://www.chips.com.

     Note:    You must install the Video drivers from floppy disk.  To create
              an OS/2 OmniBook 2000/5700 Video drivers disk do the following:  
  
              1. Copy the contents of C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\OS2\VIDEO to the
                 root directory of a blank floppy disk.
    
              2. At an OS/2 or DOS prompt type LABEL A: CTDISP 1.  Label the
                 Diskette OS/2 OmniBook 2000/5700 Drivers Disk.

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. For more information on this procedure,
see the section on Changing Display Adapter Support in the OS/2 Users Guide.
