You must have OS/2 DOS Support installed in order to install this driver. 2. 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. 4.0 INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE _______________________________ To install the Tseng ET4000/W32, /W32i, or /W32p device driver from diskette, do the following: 1. Insert the Tseng ET4000/W32, /W32i, or /W32p diskette into drive A (or any other diskette drive). Note: This diskette should have a volume label of "TLIW32 1". To verify, use "Label A:". 2. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session. 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, select Primary Display Driver and then select OK. 8. When the Display Driver Select window appears, select "Tseng Laboratories ET4000/W32, /W32i, /W32p (IBM BBS)" to install the BBS video driver. 9. 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. If you select the "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" choice, you must have the 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. This process can take several seconds and will black-out the screen. 10. When the Source Directory pop-up window appears, insert the Tseng ET4000/W32, /W32i, or /W32p diskette into drive A. Then select Install. 11. 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. f. Return to Screen page 1 and select a 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. 5.0 INSTALLATION IN A CID ENVIRONMENT ______________________________________ NOTES: 1. The server must contain a directory named TS_DRVS on the same drive where the OS/2 diskettes reside. The TS_DRVS directory must contain all of the files from the Tseng ET4000/W32, /W32i, or /W32p device driver diskette. 2. OS/2 must have been successfully installed on the client using the CID (Configuration Installation Distribution) method. 3. To configure resolution, monitor selection and refresh rate, refer to the file "README.CFG" in this package. To install the Tseng ET4000/W32, /W32i, or /W32p device driver using CID, use the following information to modify your LCU command file. NOTE: The following information is meant as a guide. Your LCU command file might be different. /*****************************************************/ /* LCU PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . x.tsvideo = 15 x.15.name='Tseng Video' x.15.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.15.name x.15.instprog = 'x:\img\ts_drvs\SETUP.CMD', ' x:\img\ts_drvs ' || bootdrive || ' CID' x.15.rspdir = '' x.15.default = '' x.tsdspinstl = 16 x.16.name='Tseng CID Dspinstl' x.16.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.16.name x.16.instprog = bootdrive || '\os2\install\DSPINSTL.EXE', ' /pd:' || bootdrive || '\os2\install\tliw32bb.dsc', /* note that comments must be done like this with the comma */, ' /s:x:\img\ts_drvs', ' /t:' || bootdrive, ' /res:640x480x256', ' /u' x.16.rspdir = '' x.16.default = '' /*---------------------------------------------------*/ /* NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SET UP IN THE */ /* PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*---------------------------------------------------*/ NUM_INSTALL_PROGS = 16 /*****************************************************/ /* INSTALLATION SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . when OVERALL_STATE = 2 then do if RunInstall(x.tsvideo) == BAD_RC then exit Call RebootAndGotoState(3) end when OVERALL_STATE = 3 then do if RunInstall(x.tsdspinstl) == BAD_RC then exit Call CheckBoot end . . . /******************************************************/ /* ROUTINE SECTION */ /* The following information should already exist in */ /* the LCU command file. */ /******************************************************/ . . .

NOTES: 1. 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. 2. After the Tseng ET4000/W32, /W32i, or /W32p 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. 3. After the CID install, refer the end user to section 4.0 INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE step 11. 6.0 FUNCTIONAL RESTRICTIONS ____________________________ o After Dark** for Windows** images that move from left to right do not perform properly at 640x480x16M resolution. o To avoid a general protection fault while loading Ventura Publisher** for Windows, be sure it is in one of the 256 color resolutions. o To avoid a trap in Lotus** 1-2-3** for OS/2, do not attempt to run the program at 16.7 million colors. o WordPerfect** Versions 5.1 and 5.2 for Windows produce a general protection fault when the "Print Preview" option is selected while using 800x600x64K or 600x480x16 million color mode. o Users of the software motion video feature of MMPM/2* should expect satisfactory results in 256-color modes. However, in 64K-color modes, OS/2 2.1 users of the feature will experience unusual results. An OS/2 pervasive-fix package is available as Fix Package XR06200 for APAR PJ11051. OS/2 versions 2.11 and above have this fix. The software motion video feature is not supported in 16-million color modes. o CorelDRAW** 2.0 will not run in a WIN-OS/2* window session. It must be run in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session. o Micrografx** Charisma 2.1 will not run in a WIN-OS/2 window session. It must be run in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session. o Distributed Console Access Facility (DCAF) is supported in 256-color modes only. o Systems with Pentium 100Mhz processors and faster may lock up switiching between Win-OS/2 sessions (seamless or full-screen) using Alt-Esc. This is a hardware restriction. 7.0 SETTING YOUR DISPLAY TO VGA MODE _____________________________________ Use the following procedures to return to VGA mode. o If you are installing this driver on OS/2 Warp, and you do not have a usable OS/2 Desktop, use the following procedures to return to VGA mode.
