Subj : Установка драйвера GRADD
> > > Для ББС собираюсь поставить OS/2 Merlin. Есть дистрибутив, фикспак xr_m015. Винт 20Гб, видеокарта GeForce MX200. Имеется также файл graddbb_a097.exe Вопрос такой (в Оси я новичок, правда ставил Warp3, но это аж в 2000 году): как использовать graddbb_a097.exe для моей видеокарты. И когда использовать: до установки фикспака или после?

Runtime Requirements
--------------------

SciTech SNAP Graphics for OS/2 requires a version of OS/2 Warp 3 or
later in order to run. More importantly, it requires at least Warp 3
with FixPak 35, or Warp 4 with FixPak 5 installed. If you have a version
with earlier FixPaks installed, SciTech SNAP Graphics will refuse to
install. Installing FixPaks later than 35/5 may solve some problems.
Installing on versions of OS/2 newer than Warp 4 (including eComstation)
does not require any FixPak to be installed.

SciTech SNAP Graphics for OS/2 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.

Installation Procedures
-----------------------

To install SciTech SNAP Graphics, simply download and run the
installation executable. The installer is a self installing executable,
and you do not need to unzip any files to your drive. The following
steps should be used for the installation:

1. If your current display drivers came with an uninstall utility,
please run it, as uninstalling them may solve some OS/2 and Win-OS/2
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 the top of some display drivers does not always work
properly. Our drivers should be able to work without this step,
but some people have reported problems.

3. Run the installation archive to install the product. If you are
prompted to overwrite any files, you should select "Yes" unless
you have a specific reason not to do so.

4. Reboot your system

5. The system should then boot up in the 640x480x256 display mode. Once
the system is up and running you can go to the 'Screen' page of the
'System' object to select all the available resolutions and color
depths (you have to reboot for the changes to take effect). You can
also go to the second page of the 'Screen' properties page to select
your monitor, if it has not been automatically detected properly.

When you have completed the installation, all the SciTech SNAP Graphics
command line utilities will be located in the directory you specified
in the installation program.

NOTE: The installation program writes files into the current OS/2 boot
partition, so you *must* boot OS/2 from the same partition that SNAP/2
needs to be installed into. Hence if you wish to install SNAP/2 both
on a regular boot partition and a separate maintenance partition,
you will need to do a complete installation when booted on each
partition. You can however install the shared SNAP files into the
same directory if you wish.


Restoring Your System in Case of Failure:
-----------------------------------------

If SciTech SNAP Graphics does not correctly boot on your system, you
can easily switch back to the GENGRADD drivers to boot your system
to a workable state again. To revert to GENGRADD, do the following:

1. Boot to an Alt-F1/F2 command prompt mode

2. Edit CONFIG.SYS file and change
C1=SDDGRADD
to
C1=GENGRADD

3. Delete or rename the x:\os2\svgadata.pmi file

4. Reboot your system.

If that fails you will need to revert to VGA mode and reinstall your
prior display drivers.

NOTE: Even if you use GENGRADD, you should still be able to run the SNAP
command line utilities, provided that you didn't remove any of the
SNAP files or the DEVICE=X:\OS2\SDDHELP.SYS line from your CONFIG.SYS.
