Limitations

1.CID install pauses due to SVGA.EXE loading in the background.

Workaround: In the CID install script, do not initiate any other processes until DISPINSTL completes execution. Ensure that no other processes are running during CID install. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to the CONFIGSYSLINE keyword of the CID response file:

SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY

2.During CID install of IBM AntiVirus when using NetView DM/2, the OS/2 full screen is displayed as a black screen.

Workaround: Perform CID install under VGA.

3.DISPINSTL does not allow CID selection of monitor and refresh rate. The workaround is as follows:

Requirements:

A system with the same graphics card and monitor configured with the S3 driver version 2.81.05, the correct display type, the desired resolution, and the desired refresh rate.

Step 1: Copy Configured Video/Display Data Files

Copy the video and display data files containing information about the display type, resolution and refresh rate to the CID server (\img\svgadata).

>copy \os2\svgadata.pmi x:\img\svgadata

>copy \os2\video.cfg x:\img\svgadata

Step 2: Create CID Command File

Create a command file to copy svgadata.pmi and video.cfg to the client system's \os2 directory via CID. Reboot the client system. The client system will be configured with the correct driver, display type, resolution and refresh rate. Another work around is to delete \OS2\VIDEO.CFG and to execute SVGA.EXE again after DSPINSTL completes. Example: SVGA ON INIT 1024 75 to set 75Hz as the default refresh rate at 1024x768.
