-- [ From: Wesley T. Dunaway * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- I don't know how many people out there are using Warp on 750s with monochrome LCDs. It seems to me that most of you people out there have color screens. I'm jealous. On the other hand, I'll bet most of you don't have 20MB RAM! In any event, there is a documented problem with the default Warp SVGA video drivers on 750s with monochrome LCDs. IBM OS/2 Support doesn't care. When running seamless Win-OS/2 sessions, you're left with all manner of garbage on the screen left over from simple things like pulling down menus. This doesn't afflict you if you use an external monitor. Also, if your CRT was set for 800x600 (or 1024x768 I suppose) and you then used the LCD, your seamless Win-OS/2 windows thought they still had the larger amount of screen real estate to work with; in essence, when maximized, they went off the screen and created more video garbage. I suspect this problem affects all 750 (and 755 and 360, for that matter) users. Finally, there was *absolutely no way* to get full-screen Win-OS/2 up in anything greater than 640x480. I used the ThinkPad video drivers version 1.32 under OS/2 2.1. Those drivers were afflicted by none of these problems. They were, unfortunately, intolerably slow. Well, I got sick of Warp's lame drivers, and installed ThinkPad video drivers version 1.33 over Warp using the instructions for installing over OS/2 2.1 for Windows. They seem much faster than they did under OS/2 2.1, and they don't seem to have any problems at all. I hope this information helps some of you out there, at least until IBM can repair Warp's built-in video drivers. Wesley T. Dunaway (dunaway@s9000.furman.edu)
