1.0     Introduction

The OS/2 device drivers supplied here are for OS/2 Warp3 and Warp4. They
can be used with the following ATI graphics controllers:

-Rage LT Pro
-Rage Pro (AGP/PCI)
-Rage IIC (AGP/PCI)
-Rage II/II+
-Rage
-VT

2.0     Installation Notes

The ATI OS2 driver bundle consists of two disks: Disk1 contains the ATI OS2 Install
Program OS2INST, Disk2 contains the CID based ATI display driver. In a typical
installation process you'd want to configure your display modes as a first step,
then load your display driver as the second step. In the first step, Disk1 is used
to configure the display modes. Disk2 is employed in the second step to load the
display driver. If configuration of the display modes is not required, you may skip
steps 1 to 8 of the "OS/2 DISPLAY MODE CONFIGURATION/CUSTOMIZATION" process and start
with the "OS/2 DRIVER INSTALLATION" process.


OS/2 DISPLAY MODE CONFIGURATION/CUSTOMIZATION

Note: The ATI configuration utility OS2INST must be run from VGA. If OS/2 is not
      configured with the VGA driver, start at step 1. If the VGA driver is already
      installed, go to step 5.

1)  Shutdown OS/2 and press "CTRL ALT DEL" to restart the system.
2)  At the "white block OS/2" message in the top left hand side of the screen 
    press "ALT F1".
3)  For Warp3 press "V" to reset the primary video display to VGA.  For Warp4
    press the "F3" function key.
4)  After the system comes up into OS/2 with the VGA driver, shutdown OS/2 again
    and reboot.
5)  Open an OS/2 Full Screen, insert Disk1 into floppy, switch to floppy and type
    OS2INST.
6)  From the Main Menu, select Quick Setup.
7)  From the Monitor Selection Menu, select the monitor that matches your monitor
    and proceed as prompted. For example, if a DDC monitor is connected, select
    DDC1/2B Monitor (see Note below). If non of the menu entries matches your 
    monitor, select "Custom...".
8)  When done with display configuration, exit ATI Install, remove Disk1 from floppy
    and follow the steps below to install the driver. 

Note: When a DDC capable monitor is connected and "DDC1/2B Monitor" is selected, 
      step 7 creates the configuration file EEDATA.EE_ in the root directory of 
      the system hard drive. The EEDATA.EE_ file contains the display mode information
      (EDID) read from the monitor.


OS/2 DRIVER INSTALLATION

Note: This procedure runs from within an OS/2 Full Screen session. Simply open an OS/2
      Full Screen session from the OS/2 Command Prompts and execute steps 1 to 5 below.
      If an error is encountered during installation, abort the process and load the
      VGA driver as prescribed in steps 1 to 4 above. Re-execute steps 1 to 5 below. 

1. Insert Disk2 into floppy and change to directory Os2.
2. Enter SETUPATI from the Os2 directory.
3. When prompted to select the Monitor Configuration, choose "Install
   Using Defaults for Monitor Type". Note: The screen will go blank momenteraly and may
   flash slightly while OS/2 determines valid display modes.
4. When done, shutdown and restart your system.
5. The OS/2 driver will first come up in 1024x768, 256 colors mode.  Use 
   the following steps to change the screen resolutions or number of 
   colors:

   a) Open 'OS/2 System' icon.
   b) Open 'System Setup' icon.
   c) Open 'System' icon.
   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) Shutdown and restart your system.

When the system restarts is will be using the correct refresh rate. If not, 
confirm that the configuration file EEDATA.EE_ is located in root directory 
or your OS/2 hard drive.


OS/2 NETWORK MODE CONFIGURATION
The display modes can be configured over a network, assuming 
that the network is homogenous (i.e. the DDC monitors are identical, 
that is, they use the same EDID). If this is the case, then

1. Follow the above procedure to configure display modes and install 
   the driver in one of the network nodes. 

2. Copy the EEDATA.EE_ file generated on that node to the root
   directories of all the other nodes of the network to be updated.
   
3. Install the driver on the nodes to be updated as per OS/2 DRIVER
   INSTALLATION PROCEDURE above.
