IBM PC300GL - Monochrome monitor fails to display gray shades

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
IBM PC 300GL Series 6272 and 6282 systems running OS/2 2.11, OS/2 WARP 3.x or 4.x may fail to display 16 shades of grey on a monochrome monitor with the Cirrus video device drivers installed.

Problem Isolation Aids :
In graphic applications running on a monochrome monitor, areas of the displayed image do not appear correctly or are visible at all.

Fix :
Use the native OS/2 VGA or SVGA drivers in place of the Cirrus video drivers.

An updated version of the Cirrus video device driver is being developed to eliminate the problem.
