Re: Warp/APM woes
Item Subject: Message text
I can confirm Karl's problems with Warp's implementation of
APM. I don't use hibernation, but I do use suspend (or at
least try to) on my TP 750. Suspend completely locks up
the system, necessitating the use of the reset button. I
use a PCMCIA modem (Intel). I called IBM with a few other
concerns today and the guy I talked to didn't know what I
was talking about. He said that they were swamped with
calls (understandable). In any event , I had the same
problem after installing the ServicePak to bring OS/2 2.1
(full version) up to the 2.11 level. The FAQ said the
solution was to reinstall APM off of the original OS/2
diskettes. I don't think that can happen with Warp.
However, if someone is willing to send me their OS/2 2.1
APM drivers via e-mail (using uuencode), I will try to
install them to see what happens. They should be sent to
dunaway@s9000.furman.edu.
I also am having a few other problems with Warp. As the
README indicates, there is Win-OS/2 (seamless) corruption
when using the LCD (black and white). I don't want to use
the VGA driver because I use the TP with an external
monitor most of the time. Also, I don't want to install
the video drivers I used with OS/2 2.1 because they are
slow as Christmas. I guess this is one I'll just have to
live with until the ServicePak comes out.
Also, full-screen Win-OS/2 works alright, but it comes up
only in 640x480 on the external monitor, when Workplace
Shell is set up for 800x600. I tried editing SYSTEM.INI
and referencing fdisplay= to every display driver in the
\windows\system directory that started with wd. One of
them got Win-OS/2 up in 800x600, but there was serious
corruption when using anything other than the Program
Manager. I may try using the driver I used with OS/2 2.1
in this case.
One final concern: the driver for ThinkPad audio doesn't
seem to support MIDI. The new Win-OS/2 audio drivers
don't either.
If there are any hackers out there with solutions to these
problems, I will love you forever if you'll relay them to
me.
