Installing and Running INGRS3DRV
---------------------------------
The Intergraph S3 display driver utilizes the S3 928 display
adapter present in the TD1 platforms. This driver will not
run on the Intergraph 433 or 466 machines since these machines
do not have the S3 928 graphics subsystem.
WINDOWS NT 4.0 SETUP
--------------------
1) Log into the system as Administrator.
2) To select the Intergraph S3 display driver, click the right mouse
button in the desk top and select "Properties" in the pop-up menu
to activate the "Display Properties" dialog.
3) Select the "Settings" Tab.
4) Select the "Display Type..." button.
5) Select the "Change..." button beside the Adapter Type string.
6) Insert your diskette with the INGRS3DRV product files on it
into the floppy drive and select "Have Disk..." from the
"Change Display" dialog.
7) A dialog will appear asking for the full path for the OEM
display driver files. The default path given will be A:\
Select "OK" when ready.
8) A dialog will appear indicating the driver to be loaded. The
selection should be "Intergraph S3 Display Driver". Select "OK."
9) A dialog will appear asking to proceed with the third party
driver installation. Select "YES".
10) A dialog box should appear telling that the drivers were
successfully loaded. Select "OK."
11) Eject the diskette from the floppy driver and select the
"Close" button on the "Display Type" dialog.
12) Select the "Close" button on the "Display Properties" dialog.
13) A final dialog box pops up at this point with the message
that the display settings have changed and restarting
Windows NT will be necessary for the new settings to take
effect. Select either "Yes" to restart now or "No" to defer
restarting the system.
14) The Intergraph S3 Display Driver will be loaded during system
boot and will be in the default (1024 x 768 x 8) resolution.
After logging on, the resolution can be changed in the "Display
Properties" dialog.
15) Following the system shutdown and subsequent logon, a dialog
will appear stating that the current settings are invalid.
This dialog appears the first time you logon every time you
change the display driver. Select OK and configure the
display settings as desired.
S3 Resolutions
==============
The resolution can be changed in the "Displays Properties" dialog.
1) Choose the Display icon in the Control Panel.
2) Choose the "Settings" Tab.
3) The Display applet will limit the resolution/refresh rate choices
to those supported by the S3 Display Driver.
The S3 Display Driver will support standard multisync monitors,
however some multi-sync monitors may not sync at the higher refresh
rates at higher resolutions (eg. 72 Hz instead of 60 Hz). In other
words, lower performance monitors will require the slower 60 Hz
vertical refresh. The recommended procedure is to test any new
resolution settings before selecting "Apply" or "OK" in the
Settings display properties page.
Single Screen Configurations
----------------------------
The Intergraph S3 driver supports the following resolutions:
Resolution Colors Frequency Video Memory
640x480 256 72 Hz 2 Meg
640x480 65536 72 Hz 2 Meg
640x480 16.7M 72 Hz 4 Meg
800x600 256 72 Hz 2 Meg
800x600 65536 72 Hz 2 Meg
800x600 16.7M 72 Hz 4 Meg
1024x768 256 70 Hz 2 Meg
1024x768 65536 70 Hz 2 Meg
1024x768 16.7M 70 Hz 4 Meg
1280x1024 256 60 Hz 2 Meg
1280x1024 65536 60 Hz 4 Meg
The following resolutions are available on a 19" monitor only:
1280x1024 256 72 Hz 2 Meg
1280x1024 65536 72 Hz 4 Meg
The 1280x1024 resolutions must run at 60 Hz on the 17" monitors.
The software, however, cannot prevent the user from selecting the
72 Hz refresh rate. If this happens, the monitor will not be able
to syncronize after the system is rebooted. See the section entitled
"Trouble Shooting" for further discussion.
Dual Virtual Screen Configurations
----------------------------------
The following virtual screen configurations are supported:
Resolution Colors Frequency Video Memory
(1024x2)x768 256 70 Hz 2 Meg

1024x(768x2) 256 70 Hz 2 Meg
1024x(768x2) 65536 70 Hz 4 Meg
(1280x2)x1024 256 60 Hz 4 Meg
1280x(1024x2) 256 60 Hz 4 Meg
The following resolutions are available on a 19" monitor only:
(1280x2)x1024 256 72 Hz 4 Meg
1280x(1024x2) 256 72 Hz 4 Meg
NT recognizes the screen as a contiguous canvas for the dual virtual
screen resolutions.
Dual Physical Screen Configurations
-----------------------------------
The following dual physical screen configurations are supported:
Resolution Colors Frequency Video Memory
(1024x2)x768 256 70 Hz 2 Meg
(1024x2)x768 65536 70 Hz 2 Meg
(1024x2)x768 16.7M 70 Hz 4 Meg
1024x(768x2) 256 70 Hz 2 Meg
1024x(768x2) 65536 70 Hz 2 Meg
1024x(768x2) 16.7M 70 Hz 4 Meg

1280x(1024x2) 256 60 Hz 2 Meg
1280x(1024x2) 65536 60 Hz 4 Meg
The folowing resolutions are available on a 19" monitor only:

1280x(1024x2) 256 72 Hz 2 Meg
1280x(1024x2) 65536 72 Hz 4 Meg
Single screen modes are still valid for systems with two graphics
boards. The second monitor will remain blank.
NT recognizes the screen as a contiguous canvas for the dual physical
screen resolutions.
Trouble Shooting
================
IF YOU BOOT NT AND THE SCREEN DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE
PROPERLY, DO THE FOLLOWING:
Reboot the system to NT, but hit the space bar immediately
when prompted. Select "Use Last Known Good" in the
Configuration Recovery Menu. This approach assumes the last
configuration was a valid configuration, however.
If the "Last Known Good" method does not apply to your case,
try selecting the VGA option from the system boot menu.
Selecting this option will boot NT with the VGA driver
instead of the S3 Display Driver. At this point you can
reinstall the S3 Display Driver.
If all else fails:
Reboot the system to DOS and remove the file S3INGR.SYS in
directory \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Reboot the system again
to NT. Since the Intergraph S3 Display Driver has been
removed, NT will use the Microsoft standard VGA driver.
A proper resolution can then be selected through NT Setup,
which will re-install the S3 Display Driver.
If your system does not have DOS (NT only), and your
installation of NT uses the standard DOS file system
(FATFS), you may boot from floppy then remove this file
from the system drive. If your NT system was built on OS/2,
or if your NT resides on HPFS, you may boot from an OS/2
system recovery (boot) floppy and remove the file. If you
have an NTFS-formatted system disk, you will need to reload
the NT Operating System (you should choose to not reformat
your system disk during reinstallation, in order to preserve
your software and data).
