**********************************************************************
3.0  Intel740 Graphics Accelerator Driver Installation Procedure
**********************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------
 Installing the Drivers from floppy disk or hard disk
------------------------------------------------------
Driver Installation 
=================== 

Before installation of this display driver, the system display should be set
to VGA mode. VGA is the default video mode enabled when OS/2* is installed. 

If the current system primary display is not VGA, or if a previous version of 
this driver is being used, the system should first be returned to VGA mode.
To restore VGA mode, use Selective Install and select VGA for Primary Display.
For more information on this procedure, see the section on Changing Display
Adapter Support in the OS/2* Users Guide.


Driver diskette copy 
==================== 
For proper installation of OS/2* drivers, all installation files must be copied to 
a diskette and the diskette must be properly labeled "CTDISP 1". 
 
To copy the OS/2* Display Driver Diskette, follow these instructions: 
 
	Step 1: Copy all files on the OS/2* Display Driver Diskette as you 
		normally would onto another diskette. 
 
	Step 2: Place the diskette copy in drive A.  At the C:\ prompt, 
	        type LABEL A: CTDISP 1 to properly label your diskette.  
                Then store your diskette copy in a safe place. 


To install this driver, do the following steps:
 
  Step 1: Open an OS/2* full screen or windowed session. 

  Step 2: Place the "CTDISP 1" Display Driver Diskette in drive A.

          Type A: <ENTER> to make this the default drive.

          Type SETUP A: C:  <ENTER>

            where A: is the floppy disk drive and       
	          C: is the hard disk partition containing \OS2	
		      
	  Once the Install Program is completed, you will need to shutdown
	  and then restart the system in order for changes to take effect.
	        
	  A log of the information output during the install can be found
	  in <root>:\OS2\INSTALL\DISPLAY.LOG
		
 
  Step 3: After restarting the system, perform the following steps:
        		
	  1) Open the System Setup folder.
	  
	  2) Open the Selective Install Object
	  
	  These steps will execute the Display Driver Installation ( DSPINSTL )
	  utility program to install the new drivers.
 
          3) Follow the instructions on the screen to set up the OS/2* display 
   	     drivers in your system.

	     Select Primary Display from the System Configuration Window.

	     From the list of Primary Display Adapter Types, select Intel i740
	     and then select OK.

After the install program has completed, you will need to shutdown and then
restart the system for the changes to take effect.

The display driver will be initialized for 640x480x256 Color.

To switch to a different video resolution or color depth, do the following:

Change Video Resolution
======================= 

  Step 4: To change the screen resolution or color depth, do the following:
  
	  1) Open the System Setup folder.
	  
	  2) Open the System Object.

	  3) From the list of available screen resolutions, select a new
	     resolution. Point to the title-bar icon and double click. See
	     Changing Screen Resolution in OS/2* Users Guide for more
	     information.
		

        The system must now be shut down and restarted for the changes to take
	effect. 

WIN-OS/2* 
======== 
Please note the following limitations regarding WIN-OS/2*. 
 
	1. The WIN-OS/2* full screen session should be set to Enhanced 
	Capability.  The default setting is Standard Mode.  If this setting 
	is not changed, Windows will not run correctly.
 
	2. WIN-OS/2* should be started by selecting the WIN-OS/2* Full Screen 
	Icon in the Command Prompts folder,  or with the WIN command in a DOS 
	Full Screen or OS/2* Full Screen session. 
 
	3. Do not start WIN-OS/2* in a DOS or OS/2* Window.  The system does 
	not support the enhanced video mode being used in a window, and 
	therefore will not run. 
 
	4. When running a full screen WIN-OS/2* session, do not use ALT-HOME to
	switch to Windowed DOS session.
 
 
BIOS supported modes
====================
This driver utilizes the following BIOS modes for its operation
640x480x256 mode 0x30
800x600x256 mode 0x32
1024x768x256 mode 0x34
1280x768x256 mode 0x38

800x600x16M mode 0x52
1024x768x16M mode 0x54
1280x768x16M mode 0x58

VESA query function 0x4f00 is used to determine hardware configuration and mode support.

**** Verifying Driver Installation

From OS/2* desktop, click on "Selective Install" within the "System Setup" window.
The "Primary Display" should be set to: SVGA (Chips & Tech.) 
If this is not the case, the drivers will need to be re-installed.
