The following are the instructions to load the E&S drivers and also
to ensure that OGL indirect is ready to go.
Task 1 - load the E&S drivers via the Display Applet
NOTE: some steps may vary
1. double click on "Display" in the "Control Panel" window
2. select "Display Type..."
3. select "Change..."
4. select "Have Disk..." (lower right) in the "Select Device" window
5. enter path to directory of driver version to install
6. select "OK"
7. select appropriate driver according to your REALimage board version:
select "AGP" for AGP boards
select "Domino" for 1.3 boards
select "nonDomino" for 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 boards
8. message about Third-party drivers is displayed, select "Yes"
9. message about success of installation is displayed, select "OK"
10. select "Close" in the "Display Type" window
11. now, if desired, select options in the "Settings" tab
12. now, if desired, select options for this card in "REALimage (tm) Settings" tab
13. select "Close"
14. select "Yes" twice to reboot the system
Release Notes:
The current software has DISCONTINUED support for the following hardware:
EAP boards: 0.1 (PN 217215-100), 0.8(PN 217215-101),
Memory cards: FPGA (PN 217217-100)
Supported hardware includes:
Graphics Boards: 1.0 (PN 217215-102), 1.1, 1.2 (PN 217215-103), or 1.3 (PN 217215-104)
Memory cards: Video Gate Array (PN 217218-100), (PN 217218-101), (PN 217218-103)
Another way to tell board configuration is through the REALimage (tm) Settings tab.
The following is supported
DMA Rev 2, DMA Rev 3, or DMA Rev 4
REALimage Rev 2
Video Formater 1/TI 3026 or Video Formater 2/TI 3026
The following are no longer supported
DMA Rev 0 or DMA Rev 1
REALiamge Rev 0
FPGA/Ti 3026
-----------
REALimage (tm) Settings
active options:
Gamma Corrected Visuals
(recommend enabled unless want overlay)
4-bit Overlay Planes
(enable overlay visuals, recommended for SoftImage)
Stencil Planes
(instead of overlay planes, have OpenGL hardware stencil planes)
( SDRC I-DEAS users should have this set)
Texel 32 Bit Default (instead of 16 Bit)
(determines the color resolution of OpenGL 1.0 texture maps where
application does not specify size. This increases memory usage since
each texel is double in size. This is necessary to enable for running
conformance for the conformance test expects texture maps to be color resolution
at least as great as frame buffer color depth.)
Minimize Flicker (sync window swap with vertical retrace)
(recommend disable for maximum ViewPerf performance)
SoftImage Customizations
(enable to run SoftImage ONLY)
Force Hardware Cursor
(do not allow software cursors, this is recommended since this system has
independently swappable windows. Recommended to have 3D Studio Max to run well)
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
