3.      Installation

3.1     Installing ELSA graphics board for Windows 95/98

        Remove your "old" VGA and put the ELSA graphics board into your
        computer. If your ELSA graphics adapter contains a VGA-switch, 
        be sure that it's position is set to the "1" position (VGA 
        enabled). 
        On startup Windows 95/98 detects the ELSA graphics board as
        "PCI early VGA Device" or a "PCI standard VGA adapter" and 
        prompts for a manufacturer disk. Now browse through the ELSA CD 
        and select the proper display driver subdirectory (eg. VICTORY2\
        WIN9x). Windows will copy the driver files and prompt you 
        to reboot the computer. After restarting, Windows is running 
        with the ELSA display drivers active. If your ELSA graphics 
        adapter is not the primary display adapter, you have to 
        activate it by clicking on the connected monitor bitmap in 
        the global windows display settings. The installation routine 
        will additionally create the ELSA Settings and ELSA DirectX 
        Settings property pages.

        In all following Windows sessions you can change the
        resolution without rebooting your system.

5.      Release notes

        DirectDraw/Direct3D support

        The display driver do support DirectDraw/Direct3D, but to
        use it in an application, you must install DirectDraw/
        Direct3D. The Microsoft DirectDraw/Direct3D components are
        not included in the standard retail version of Windows 95.
        You need an installation of DirectX 6.

        To install DirectDraw/Direct3D start the program DX6ENG.EXE in
        the directory \MSAPPS\DIRECTX6\WIN95\ENG on the ELSA CD.

        This section documents known anomalies or problems and gives
        hints on work arounds.

        Switching Duke3D between fullscreen and windowed mode
        (using ALT-ENTER) sometimes crashes the system.

        This display driver is for singlescreen use only in Windows98.
