2.0     Installation Notes for OS/2

Notes:

     a) Before installing the ATI OS/2 display drivers, you must
        set your system to use the IBM supplied VGA driver. Type SETVGA from
        a full screen OS/2 session to accomplish this.

     b) Check the Window List (press CTRL-ESC) to see if you have any
        WIN-OS/2 or DOS sessions iconized. Close them all as the OS/2 device
        driver install will not complete successfully if a WIN-OS/2 or DOS
        session is running.

     c) To complete the install successfully you will require the following
        information:

        *The OS/2 boot drive on which the PM driver is located.
        *The default ATI OS/2 driver directory is C:\MACH_OS2.

After you have set the operating system to use the IBM supplied VGA driver:

1) Open an OS/2 Window or Full Screen command prompt, insert disk #1 of the
   ATI Rage Pro diskettes.  Change to the drive containing the ATI disk
   and type OS2INST.

2) When the main selection menu appears,

   a) Select Drivers Installation and press <Enter>.
   b) From the Install Enhanced Drivers menu select IBM OS/2 and
      press <Enter>
   c) Follow the on screen prompts until this portion of the installation
      process complete.

3) When the files have been successfully copied to your hard disk, open an
   OS/2 session and type DSPINSTL, then press <Enter>.

4) When the Display Driver Install panel appears, select Primary Display
   and click OK to bring up the Primary Display Driver List.

5) Select "ATI Rage Pro (Enhanced x.xx)" from the list and click OK.

   Note: Users of OS/2 WARP will be presented with a Monitor
   Configuration/Selection panel.  Select "Install Using Defaults
   for Monitor Type".

6) When the source directory panel appears, select 'Change' and enter:
   X:\MACH_OS2  (Replace X with the drive letter of your boot drive
   and, if you specified your own driver directory, use the name of that
   directory instead of MACH_OS2).
   Next, click 'Set' and then 'Install'. After the files are copied,
   exit the OS/2 window or full screen session. Shut down and restart
   your system.

7) The PM driver will first come up in 640x480, 256 colors mode.  Use the
   following steps to change the screen resolutions or number of colors:

   a) Open 'OS/2 System' folder.
   b) Open 'System Setup' folder.
   c) Open 'System' object.
   b) Select the 'Screen' tab.
   e) Select the desired resolution and number of colors from the list.
   f) Double click on the system menu icon or select close from the system
      menu to close the window.
   g) Shut down and restart your system.
