S3 964 Video Chipset Problems with OS/2 WARP.
----------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS:
     Unable to install high resolution with OS/2 WARP on a
     system with S3 964 video chipset.

     Contact Number 9 or Diamond computer vendor for
     an OS/2 device driver to run in high resolution (SVGA).


Installing S3 964 Drivers on OS/2 Warp
----------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS:

         1.  Installation does not finish.
         2.  Installation hangs.

RESOLUTION:
     1.  Edit the S3INST.CMD file
     2.  Change all references to X:\OS2 to X:\OS2\BOOT.
          (X: = drive where OS/2 resides)

     The drivers in original format do not install because they
     reference the OS/2 directory.  OS/2 Warp installs the drivers
     into the OS2\Boot directory.

PROCEDURES:

      1. Insert the S3 driver diskette in the diskette
         drive.
      2. Type the drive letter, for example A:.
      2. Type:
             E S3INST.CMD
      3.  Change the the following line:

          From:  X:\OS2
          To:    X:\OS2\BOOT
          X: = drive where OS/2 resides
      4. Save the file.
      5. Continue installation.
