  1.4  DDC Monitor Support

  VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) 1 and 2B protocols are supported,
  allowing similarly enabled computers and operating system software
  to identify the monitor and its capabilities.  This device driver
  automatically detects DDC monitor capabilities and sets the monitor
  to the maximum refresh rate which it supports.  If, after
  installing this device driver, you switch from a non-DDC monitor to
  a DDC monitor or switch to a different DDC monitor, you must run
  the DDC Display Setup program in the System Setup folder.

  Use the following procedures when installing a DDC monitor.

    1. Reset the monitor to the lowest refresh rate available.  This
       will prevent the system from setting a refresh rate higher
       than that supported by the new monitor.
    2. Shut down your computer and install the new monitor.
    3. Restart your computer.
    4. Select the "DDC Display Setup" icon in the OS/2 System Folder.
    5. When you are instructed to do so, shut down your system and
       restart it.

  1.5  Selecting Small or Large Fonts for Windows

  The default font sizes for Windows sessions are listed below.

    Resolution      Default Font Size
    ----------      ---------------------------
    640x480             Small
    800x600             Small
    1024x768            Large
    1280x1024           Large
    1600x1200           Large

    NOTE: Large fonts are not available for the 640x480 resolution.

  Use the following procedures to select small or large fonts for
  Windows sessions.

    1. Select the "S3 Windows Font Size" object in the OS/2 System
       Setup Folder.

    2. Click on the radio button next to the font size you wish to
       select.

    3. Click on the OK button.

    4. A message will display saying that the new settings will take
       take effect the next time you restart your Windows session.
       Currently open sessions will not be affected by the new
       settings.

    5. Click on the OK button.

    6. Start any WIN-OS/2 window or full-screen session.

  The setting you select will remain in effect until you explicitly
  change it, you change your display resolution, or you install a
  new display driver.


  2.0  Preliminary Installation Steps
  ___________________________________

  The following steps must be performed before you install the
  graphics-accelerator device driver:

  1.  You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed.
  2.  If you previously installed SVGA support, you must reset the
      resolution to VGA mode, using the procedures in the
      following section.
  3.  The two device driver installation diskettes must contain the
      diskette volume labels of "S3 DRV1" and "S3 DRV2", respectively
      (without the quotation marks).  These volume labels may be applied
      using the OS/2 LABEL command.
  4.  After driver installation, the OS/2 SYSLEVEL command can be
      used to confirm the new driver version level.  Following
      execution of the SYSLEVEL command, look for SYSLEVEL.VID.
      For example:

      C:\OS2\INSTALLATION\SYSLEVEL.VID
                                        Vision868/968/Trio32/64/64V+/64V2/3D
      Version 3.03     Component ID 562107701
      Current CSD level: S330329
      Prior   CSD level: S330329

      In this case the current version level is S3 3.03.29.

  2.1  Setting OS/2 Warp/Merlin to VGA Mode

  If you are installing this driver on OS/2 Warp/Merlin , do the following:

          In /S:E:, E: is the source CD-ROM or LAN drive.

          Then press Enter.

      7.  Perform a shutdown and restart your computer.

  3.0  Installing from Diskette
  _______________________________

  To install the graphics-accelerated device driver from diskette, do
  the following:

  1.  If system is not in VGA mode, select VGA mode.

  2.  Insert the driver installation diskette into drive A (or any
      other diskette drive).  In the following sequence the A drive
      is assumed.

  3.  Open an OS/2 full-screen or 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 which contains the device driver
      installation diskette.

      Then press Enter.

      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?".
      Please 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 rates is not
      supported anymore.

      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 black-out the screen.


  6. When the Source Directory pop-up window appears, insert the prompted
     graphics-accelerator driver diskettes into drive A.  At this
     point the source directory must specify the drive containing
     the installation diskette (e.g. A:).  If necessary change the
     source directory, then select Install.

  7. When the installation is complete, shut down your system,
     remove the diskette, and restart your computer.

  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.

   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.

   o When starting a Windows session from a DOS command line, use the
     WINOS2 command rather than the WIN command.  Additionally, you
     must modify the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Place the following line
     anywhere after the "@ECHO.OFF" line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT:
     COPY C:\WINDOWS\WINOS2.COM C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM


  4.0  Installing in a CID Environment
  ____________________________________

  NOTES:

   o The server must contain a directory named S3_DRVS on the same
     drive where the OS/2 diskettes reside.  The S3_DRVS directory
     must contain all of the files from the graphics-accelerator
     device driver installation diskette.
   o OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the client using
     the CID (Configuration Installation Distribution) method.

  To install the graphics-accelerator device driver using CID, use
  the following information to modify your LCU command file.

  NOTE:  The following information is meant as a guide.

  Following is an explanation of the line that is executed in the LCU
  command file:

    C:\OS2\INSTALL\DSPINSTL /pd:c:\os2\install\00S3.DSC
    /S:X:\img\s3_drvs /T:C: /res:640x480x256 /u

       /pd:c:\os2\install\00S3.DSC
        is the dsc laid down during setup phase.

       /S:X:\img\s3_drvs
        where X:\img\s3_drvs is the redirected source path.

       /T:C:
        where C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed.

       /res:640x480x256
        is a resolution/color depth from the list of "Supported
        Resolutions" that appears earlier in this README.  In this
        example 256 colors is specified.  Enter "64K" to specify
        65,536 colors or "16M" to specify 16,777,216 colors.

       /u
        means Unattended installation.

  NOTES:

   o  After a CID installation the end user should go to section 3.0
      "Installing from Diskette" and continue with step 8.

   o  Be sure you have the stated video memory required, as listed in
      "Supported Resolutions" earlier in this README.  A safe choice
      is 640x480x256.  Any of the listed resolutions can be selected,
      but your display might be damaged if you select a resolution
      that your display does not support.

   o  To select a refresh rate, SVGA.EXE can be executed again separately
      after DSPINSTL. Example, SVGA ON INIT 1024 75
      This will create another \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file with 75Hz as the default
      at 1024x768 resolution. The prior \OS2\VIDEO.CFG file should be
      deleted first.

   o  After the graphics-accelerator device driver has been
      successfully installed on the client machine using the CID
      method and the client machine is restarted, the resolution
      will be as specified by command line argument.


  5.0 Liminations
  _______________

  1. CID install pauses due to SVGA.EXE loading in the background.
     Work around: In the CID install script, do not initiate any other
     processes until DISPINSTL completes execution.  Ensure that no
     other processes are running during CID install.  This can be
     accomplished by adding the following line to the CONFIGSYSLINE
     keyword of the CID response file:

     SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY

  2. DISPINSTL does not allow CID selection of monitor and refresh
     rate.
     WORK AROUND:

        Requirements:
        * A system with the same graphics subsystem and monitor
          configured with this graphics-accelerator device driver,
          the correct display type, the desired resolution and
          refresh rate.

        Step 1: Copy Configured Video/Display Data Files
        * copy the video and display data files containing information
          about the display type, resolution and refresh rate to the
          CID server (\img\svgadata).

          > copy \os2\svgadata.pmi x:\img\svgadata
          > copy \os2\video.cfg x:\img\svgadata

        Step 2: Create CID Command File
        * create a command file to copy svgadata.pmi and video.cfg
          to the client system's \OS2 directory via CID.
        * reboot the client system.
        * the client system will be configured with the correct
          driver, display type, resolution and refresh rate.

     Another work around is to delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG and to execute
     SVGA.EXE again after DSPINSTL completes. Example: SVGA ON INIT 1024 75
     to set 75Hz as the default refresh rate at 1024x768.

  3. In all modes, video corruption or out-of-sync screen is
     displayed when using  Alt+Esc to switch between WIN-OS/2,
     OS/2, DOS window and DOS full-screen sessions started from
     the Startup folder.  To avoid this situation, do not start
     sessions from the Startup folder or press Alt+Esc several
     times to restore.

  4. Some programs, such as WINBENCH95, WINBENCH96, and After Dark
     3.0. were written specifically for the Windows environment.
     In the Windows environment, these programs prevent any
     keystrokes from interfering with their proper execution.
     However, in the OS/2 environment, it is possible to switch
     context away from the Windows session without notifying these
     programs.  General Protection Faults (GPSs) may result.
     Therefore, context switching during the execution of
     WINBINCH95 and WINBENCH96 tests is not recommended.  Also,
     context switching during the execution of the After Dark 3.0
     demo is not recommended.
