OSVIWM64 - SETTING UP THE MACH 64 TO RUN IN OS/2 WARP 01/25/96 ======================================================================= Setting Up the Mach 64 to Run in OS/2 Warp ======================================================================= Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures -------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION 1. If the Mach 64 card was not set up before you installed OS/2 Warp, select VGA as the primary display during installation. When you start the system in VGA, follow the General Setup procedures. 2. If the Mach 64 card replaces a previously installed card in a system, return the system to VGA (640x480x16 using the VGA drivers, not the 640x480x256 SVGA driver) before placing the Mach 64 card in the system. Restart the system, and follow the General Setup procedures 3. If the Mach 64 card was set up before you installed OS/2 Warp for the system/monitor, you should not need to set up the card. If you do have problems, follow the General Setup procedure. 4. If you are replacing the monitor: a. Select the 640x480x256 resolution from the System icon. b. Shut down and turn off the system. c. Replace the monitor; then restart the system. d. Follow the General Setup procedure, but skip the step to install video drivers. Instead remake the SVGADATA.PMI file, as described under "Capturing the Display Configuration" in the User's Guide to OS/2 Warp. RESOLUTION Video Cards with the Mach 64 Chip Set (Available as of 10/25/94) ---------------------------------------------------------------- * ATI Graphics Pro Turbo * ATI Graphics Xpression * ATI WinTurbo (VRAM Based Pro Turbo) * ATI WinBoost (DRAM Based Xpression) Set up the ATI Mach 64 Graphics Adapter to run with SVGA Mach 64 drivers provided for OS/2 Warp: 1. Start a DOS Full Screen session. Use a DOS startable diskette if there are no memory-management programs. 2. Insert the ATI Installation Diskette in drive A. 3. Type A: Install and press Enter. 4. Highlight Quick Setup on the main menu and press Enter. READ THE WARNING. Be sure not to set up the monitor beyond its capability. Check the monitor documentation for more information. The ATI manual describes Custom Setup in the "Hardware Installation/Quick Setup/Custom..." section. If you are not sure what needs to be done, refer to the documentation. Note: All resolutions, except Other..., are supported with the Mach 64 drivers that come with IBM OS/2 Warp. 5. Select the system's monitor or a compatible one. If there is no compatible monitor, select Custom: * 640x480 (needs to be 60 Hz or IBM Default) * 800x600 * 1024x768 * 1280x1024 6. Select the refresh rate and press Enter. See the monitor specifications for the vertical refresh rates. 7. Press Esc; then select Y. 8. Press F10 to save the changes; the monitor flickers while the EPROM is being programmed. 9. Press Esc until you exit the program. 10. Shut down and turn off the system; then restart it. For more specific information, see the ATI documentation or call ATI. Installing OS/2 Warp Display Drivers for the ATI Mach 64 -------------------------------------------------------- Note: Additional information is available in the OS/2 Warp documentation. To set up OS/2 Warp to run the ATI Mach 64 drivers after OS/2 Warp is installed: 1. Start the system after the card has been set up. 2. Move the mouse pointer to a blank area of the Desktop and press mouse button 2 to display the Desktop pop-up menu. 3. Select System Setup. 4. Select Selective Install. 5. Select Primary Display. 6. Select ATI MACH64. 7. Select OK. 8. Select OK again; then select Install. 9. Follow the instructions on the screen. 10. When installation is complete, shut down and then restart the system. When the system restarts: 11. Move the mouse pointer to a blank area of the Desktop and press mouse button 2 to display the Desktop pop-up menu. 12. Select System Setup. 13. Select System. The first page of information is the screen resolution. 14. Scroll through the resolutions until you reach the one you want. 15. Select the correct resolution with mouse button 1. 16. Shut down and then restart the system. Note: The ATI drivers are supported by IBM OS/2 Warp or later. Earlier versions of OS/2 support only the MACH64 chip set in VGA (using the IBM VGA drivers). ______________________________________________________________________ IBM disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including without limitation, warranties of fitness and merchantability with respect to the information in this document.
