To install the Savage display driver from diskette, do the following: 1. If the system is not in VGA mode, select VGA mode (See Section 5 for instructions on how to set your display to VGA Mode). 2. Insert the Savage diskette into drive A: Note: S3 DRV1 must be the volume label of this diskette. To verify the label, type Label A:. 3. Open an OS/2 window session. 4. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive: A:SETUP where A: is the diskette drive. Then press Enter. Setup will then identify your chipset. When prompted to do so, press Enter to continue. Due to the limitations with a single pass installation. A dialog box may come up during installation with the message, The installed adapter does not support the selected display driver. Do you wish to continue? Continue the installation by selecting the Yes button. 5. When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type choice is preselected. Select OK. Do not select Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program since this method of setting refresh rate is no longer supported. NOTE: DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file. If the \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be supported. This process can take several seconds and will blackout the screen. 6. When the Source Directory pop-up window requests the Savage diskette insert the diskette labeled S3 DRV1. 7. When prompted to do so, select OK to perform a shutdown, and then restart your computer. Make sure the diskette has been removed from the install drive. 8. When the system has restarted: a. Open the OS/2 System folder. b. Open the System Setup folder. c. Open the System object. d. When the Settings notebook appears, select the Screen tab. If your monitor has been detected as Plug and-Play (DDC) compatible, go to step 10. 9. On Screen page 2, select your display from the display list. If your display does not appear in the list, select Default. It might be necessary to restart your computer to have all refresh rate options available. 10. When the system has restarted: a. Open the System object and select Screen page 1, as in step 8. b. Select a screen resolution and a screen refresh rate. c. Close the Settings notebook. d. Perform a shutdown and restart your computer. NOTES: o If the selected vertical refresh rate is not supported by your monitor, delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file and reboot. This will set the refresh rate to the default value. A new refresh rate can now be selected using the procedure described above. o During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the OS/2\INSTALL directory. These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated and indicate whether the installation was successful. The contents of these files might be useful if you need to report an installation problem to IBM. o If the video memory size is changed after the device driver is installed, the device driver must be reinstalled in order for the system to recognize the change. Not reinstalling the driver might result in serious system problems.
