  PRELIMINARY STEPS
  _________________
 
  The following steps prepare your computer for the
  Cirrus Logic device driver:
 
  1.  You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed in order
      to install this driver.
  2.  The OS/2 ATTRIB command is used during
      installation of the device driver.  If you
      elected not to install the OS/2 Optional System
      Utilities or you have deleted the ATTRIB command,
      use Selective Install and select Change File
      Attributes to restore the ATTRIB command before
      continuing.
  3.  If you previously installed SVGA support, return
      to VGA resolution using the procedures in
      "Setting Your Display to VGA Mode" later in this
      README before you install this driver.
 
 
  INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE
  __________________________
 
  To install the Cirrus Logic device driver from
  diskette, do the following:
 
  1.  Insert the Cirrus Logic diskette into drive A (or
      any other diskette drive).
  2.  Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session.
 
 
                                           Page 5
 
 
  3.  At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following
      command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2
      drive:
 
             A:SETUP A: C:
 
      (where A: is the diskette drive, and C: is the
      drive where OS/2 is installed.)
 
      Then press Enter.
  4.  When prompted to do so, remove the diskette from
      drive A, perform a shutdown, and then restart
      your computer.
  5.  Open the OS/2 System folder.
  6.  Open the System Setup folder.
  7.  Open the Display Driver Install object.
 
      When the Display Driver Install window appears,
      "Cirrus Logic" should be the default choice.  If
      not, select it.  Then select OK.
  8.  When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility
      window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for
      Monitor Type" choice is preselected.  You can
      accept this choice or select "Install Using
      Display Adapter Utility Program" to choose a
      different refresh rate.  Then select OK.
 
 
                                           Page 6
 
 
      If you select the "Install Using Display Adapter
      Utility Program" choice, you must have a DOS
      monitor utility that came with your display
      adapter.  Contact the display adapter
      manufacturer's technical support for information
      on how to use the monitor utility under OS/2.
 
      NOTE:  At this point, 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.
 
  9.  When the Source Directory pop-up window appears,
      insert the Cirrus Logic diskette into drive A.
      Then select Install.
  10. When the installation is complete, do the
      following:
      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.  Then go to Screen page 2.
      e.  On Screen page 2, select your display from
          the display list.  If your display does not
          appear in the list, select Default.
 
 
                                           Page 7
 
 
      f.  Return to Screen page 1 and select a screen
          resolution and a screen refresh rate.
      g.  Close the Settings notebook.
      h.  Perform a shutdown and restart your computer.
 
  Note that during the installation of this driver,
  DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the
  OS2\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.
 
 
  INSTALLATION IN A CID ENVIRONMENT
  _________________________________
 
  NOTES:
 
  1.  The server must contain a directory named
      CIR_DRVS on the same drive where the OS/2
      diskettes reside.  The CIR_DRVS directory must
      contain all of the files from the Cirrus Logic
      device driver diskette.
  2.  OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the
      client using the CID (Configuration Installation
      Distribution) method.

      diskettes, do the following:
 
      1.  Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL
          directory.  If it is, go to step 2.  If it is
          not, insert Diskette 8 into drive A and
          unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following
          command:
 
               C:\OS2\UNPACK A:\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE
 
          (where A: is the drive containing Diskette 8,
          and C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed.)
 
 
                                          Page 16
 
 
      2.  Type C: and then press Enter.
      3.  Type CD C:\OS2\INSTALL and then press Enter.
      4.  Type the following:
 
            RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:C:

          installed.  In /S:A:, A: is the diskette
          drive you use to install OS/2.)
 
          Then press Enter.
 
  o   If you are installing this driver on OS/2 2.1,
      2.11, or OS/2 for Windows, and you installed from
      CD-ROM or a LAN, do the following:
 
      1.  Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL
          directory.  If it is, go to step 2.  If it is
