INTRODUCTION................................................. About Arca Noae SNAP Graphics for ArcaOS ---------------------------------------- Arca Noae SNAP Graphics/se for ArcaOS brings Arca Noae's licensed, proven universal device driver technologies to the ArcaOS operating system. Arca Noae SNAP Graphics for ArcaOS incorporates the Arca Noae SNAP Graphics Architecture, which is a cross platform device driver technology enabling the use of the same device drivers in all versions of Arca Noae SNAP Graphics. Sharing the drivers between platforms improves the quality and performance of device drivers for all supported operating systems. Runtime Requirements -------------------- Arca Noae SNAP Graphics for ArcaOS requires ArcaOS 5.0 or later. It is not required to have a FixPak installed, but installing the latest one available may solve some problems. Arca Noae SNAP Graphics for ArcaOS supports the Enhanced Suspend feature of the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep(R) Technology package for OS/2. This support requires certain video BIOS calls to function properly. If you experience problems with this feature, it may be necessary for you to adjust the Enhanced Suspend settings; please refer to the readme file supplied with the SpeedStep(R) package for details about how to do so. Certified Graphics Chips ------------------------ This is a complete list of the various graphics chipsets that have been certified to work correctly with this version of Arca Noae SNAP Graphics. Please note that this list refers to the actual chips being used, not a board-level implementation. Thus you will not see any products from Hercules or STB on the list, but their products are supported because they use S3, Cirrus, Tseng, etc. chips. Also, any card with less than 512KB of memory cannot be supported by Arca Noae SNAP Graphics. Note: Please check the separate list of supported laptop chipsets for more information if you are using this product on a laptop. All laptop chipsets are still listed here as many laptop chipset can also be used in regular PCI/AGP boards. . 3dfx Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3, Voodoo4, Voodoo5 . 3DLabs Permedia, Permedia 2, Permedia 2V, Permedia 3 .

VESA VBE 1.2, VBE 2.0, VBE 3.0 Supported Flat Panel Graphics Chips ----------------------------------- The following is a list of graphics chipsets that are working with digital flat panels. Other chipsets will work with flat panels in analog mode. Please note that if you can't see anything on the display when you boot your machine, Arca Noae SNAP Graphics can't fix this, as it is a hardware problem. Unless otherwise noted, the flat panel interface used is DVI. Also note that digital flat panel monitors do not support refresh rate control, although they may emulate it when running in analog mode. Currently, modes available on digital flat panels are limited to those provided by the video BIOS, which in most cases does not go higher than 1280x1024. The only exception to this is the ATI Radeon chipsets, which now feature native panel programming. . ATI 3D Rage LT Pro (DFP), Rage XL (DFP), Rage 128 Pro, Rage 128 Ultra .

VESA VBE 2.0, VBE 3.0 Supported TV Out Graphics Chips ------------------------------- The following is a list of graphics chipsets that are working with TV Out. Please note that if you can't see anything on the display when you boot your machine, Arca Noae SNAP Graphics can't fix this, as it is a hardware problem. If you are using a laptop, you must use an external CRT monitor, as the BIOS does not support TV Out display when the LCD panel is active. Note that the OS/2 boot messages will not display correctly on the TV; the text mode used at that time does not work on TV screens, and SNAP has no control over this (it's not even active yet). .

NVIDIA GeForce 6600 Series Please note that there are some restrictions imposed for MultiHead: 1. Only CRT (15-pin VGA) output is supported for MultiHead at this time. You may need to use DVI->VGA connectors on some graphics cards. The only exception to this is the ATI Radeon chipsets, which can also do multihead in CRT+DFP configurations, due to native panel programming. CRT+LCD, CRT+TV, and DFP+DFP are all unsupported at this time. 2. You cannot use zooming when the desktop is in a MultiHead mode. 3. When the desktop is in a MultiHead mode and you change the MultiHead settings, you should reboot before switching away from the desktop (i.e. opening any fullscreen sessions), or your desktop will become corrupted. The mouse cursor position may also be incorrect when you are running in this in-between state. 4. On Matrox chipsets, hardware mouse cursor and 256 color modes will not be available; these are hardware restrictions. 5. On older Nvidia chipsets, 16M color modes wider than 2040 will not be available; this is a restriction of the NV1 interface. Only cards where the video BIOS properly initializes both heads (in other words, it boots in clone mode automatically) are supported. Supported Graphics Chips for Overlays ------------------------------------- The following is a list of graphics chipsets that have support for hardware video overlays. Video overlays allow video players to use the graphics card for processing of video data, which decreases CPU utilization and improves the quality of video when stretched. Use of this feature requires a video player with explicit support for it. . ATI Rage IIC, Rage Pro, Rage LT Pro, Rage XL, Rage Mobility, Rage 128 .

S3 SuperSavage/IXC INSTALLATION......................................................... Installation Procedures ----------------------- The following steps prepare your computer before installing the Arca Noae SNAP Graphics/se GRADD device drivers: 1. If your current display drivers came with an uninstall utility, please run it, as uninstalling them may solve some display problems. This step can be safely left out if you already have SNAP installed, in that case you can also skip step 2 below. 2. Reset your system to VGA mode, *before* installing the SNAP drivers. Installing over other display drivers usually works properly, but there may be some that cause problems. 3. Other applications, particularly WIN-OS/2 applications, should be closed so that the device driver installation can replace the driver files which an open application might have locked as read only. To access the Arca Noae SNAP Graphics for ArcaOS installation directory, do the following: 1. Open an ArcaOS command line window session. 2. Mount your ArcaOS installation DVD or ISO. 3. Change to the \CID\SERVER\SNAP directory on the ArcaOS installation DVD or ISO. 4. Use SET LANG= to set the correct language. The language may already be correctly set in your CONFIG.SYS. If not, then at the ArcaOS command prompt, type one of these SET LANG= commands to choose your language: SET LANG=ar_AA for Arabic (English with Arabic graphics formatting) SET LANG=pt_BR for Brazil SET LANG=zh_CN for Simplified Chinese SET LANG=de_DE for Germany SET LANG=da_DK for Denmark SET LANG=es_ES for Spain SET LANG=el_GR for Greece (English with Greek graphics formatting) SET LANG=fi_FI for Finland SET LANG=fr_FR for France SET LANG=iw_IL for Israel (English with Hebrew graphics formatting) SET LANG=it_IT for Italy SET LANG=ja_JP for Japan SET LANG=ko_KR for Korea SET LANG=nl_NL for Netherlands SET LANG=no_NO for Norway SET LANG=sv_SE for Sweden SET LANG=zh_TW for Taiwan SET LANG=en_US for English (default) 5. The SETUP command in the installation directory may then be used to install the proper language dependent files and configuration information from the install directory onto your boot drive. Running SETUP without any options will give brief syntactic help about the SETUP command (described later in detail in this README file) in your chosen or default language. To see this help, at the ArcaOS command prompt, type the following command: SETUP Attended Installation --------------------- To do an attended install of the Arca Noae SNAP Graphics/se GRADD Drivers from the self extracting zip file installation directory, do the following: 1. If you wish to change the language setting, use SET LANG=xx_XX to do so. The language may already be correctly set in your CONFIG.SYS. The section above gives examples. 2. At the ArcaOS command prompt, type the following command to copy all the required files to the ArcaOS boot drive: SETUP SNAP [] [] [/u] Where: for SETUP is required if SETUP is not in the current directory. [] parameter is optional (required if next parameter specified) and is the installation directory. [] is optional and is the drive where ArcaOS is installed. [/u] is optional and indicates an unattended install such as for CID installations. A CID response file is not required. Then press Enter. 3. When prompted to do so, shutdown, and then restart your computer. NOTES: 1) During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created or appended to in the OS2\INSTALL directory. These files identify the ArcaOS system files that were updated and indicate whether the installation was successful and reasons for failure. The contents of these files might be useful if you need to report an installation problem. 2) You may be prompted about whether you want to replace certain files where the target file is newer than the source file. In general, you should answer YES to all the prompts. 4. After the computer reboots, the desktop should be in the 640x480x256 display mode. Do the following to configure correctly for your current display and choose an appropriate resolution and refresh rate: a. Open the System Setup folder or, if present, right-click the XPager. b. Open the Screen object or select Screen from the XPager's context menu. If the monitor listed is correct, you can skip to step d. c. Go to Screen Page 2, and select your monitor. The current version requires you to close the System object and reopen it in order to have your monitor selection affect the list of resolutions and refresh rates available. d. On Screen Page 1, select a resolution, color depth, and refresh rate. Depending on your adapter and display, refresh rates may not be selectable. e. Close the Screen object. f. Shutdown and restart your computer. 5. When you have completed the installation, all the Arca Noae SNAP Graphics command line utilities will be located in the x:\snap directory, where "x:" is your ArcaOS boot drive. Most will also be found in the Arca Noae SNAP Graphics/se folder on your desktop. Installation in a CID Environment --------------------------------- NOTES: 1. Create a directory on the server (e.g. X:\INST\SNAP) and copy the installation files from the \CID\SERVER\SNAP directory on the ArcaOS installation medium to the X:\INST\SNAP installation directory. 2. You must have ArcaOS successfully installed on the client using the CID (Configuration Installation Distribution) method. 3. To configure display selection, resolution and refresh rate, refer to the file "README.CFG" in this package. To install a device driver using CID, use the following information to modify your LCU command file. The example below installs the Arca Noae SNAP Graphics/se GRADD (SDDGRADD). NOTE: The following information is meant as a guide. Your LCU command file might be different. /*****************************************************/ /* LCU PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . x.graddvideo = 15 x.15.name='Arca Noae SNAP Graphics GRADD Video' x.15.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.15.name x.15.instprog = 'x:\inst\snap\setup.cmd', ' sdd', ' x:\inst\snap ' || bootdrive, ' /u' x.15.rspdir = '' x.15.default = '' /*****************************************************/ /* NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SET UP IN THE */ /* PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ NUM_INSTALL_PROGS = 15 /*****************************************************/ /* INSTALLATION SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . when OVERALL_STATE = 2 then do if RunInstall(x.graddvideo) == BAD_RC then exit Call CheckBoot end . . . /******************************************************/ /* ROUTINE SECTION */ /* The following information should already exist in */ /* the LCU command file. */ /******************************************************/ . . .

To revert to GENGRADD, do the following: 1. Boot to an Alt-F1/F2 command prompt mode. 2. Edit CONFIG.SYS file and change the line C1=SDDGRADD to C1=GENGRADD,SBFILTER Remove the line "DEVICE=x:\OS2\SDDHELP.SYS". Remove the line "SET VCFG_NO_DDC=TRUE". 3. Delete or rename the x:\OS2\SVGADATA.PMI file. 4. Shutdown and reboot your system. If that fails you will need to revert to VGA mode and reinstall your prior display drivers.
