I've had sporadic problems with Warp and I'm curious about other people's experiences. My hardware is a TP750 mono with a 340MB HD and 12MB of RAM. I can't get the video to work right between the screen and external monitor. If I boot up with the screen, then switch to an external monitor, half the SVGA display (640x480x256) is missing (blank). If I boot up with an external monitor and switch to the screen, I get a scrambled screen (like someone cut my screen into 8 horizontal sections and glued them back together in the wrong order). Flipping a DOS Windowed session to full screen corrupts the display. 2/3rds of the way down, I get a section of the top of the screen repeated over and over. The problem doesn't happen with a DOS Full screen session flipped to a Windowed session. Possibly related, mode 80,30 doesn't work in OS/2 full screen sessions anymore. It gives me 30 lines, but doesn't fill the LCD. I somehow got this working (along with the DOS boxes) in one of my reinstalls but I've been unable to recreate it. It works fine in VGA as well but now with SVGA. My swapper.dat won't stay above the minimum size. I have in my config.sys SWAPPATH=E:\ 2048 16384 Where E: is a 91MB partition containing OS/2, TCPIP, and Thinkpad stuff (about 35MB free w/o swapper.dat). Upon bootup, swapper.dat is 16MB, but after some use it tends to shrink below the minimum 16384k. I've seen it at 11MB, and even 5MB. I was gonna install the latest FLASH BIOS but the copy I got was corrupt so I'm gonna download it again (10 minutes at 14.4kbps versus 5 seconds over ethernet - *sigh* :-). Does anyone know if that might fix the problems? Otherwise, I'm very impressed with Warp - much faster than the previous versions. Oh, I have the DevCon version which means I don't have a manual. If there are specific instructions for the Thinkpads given in the manual, I'd like to know. -- John H. Kim jokim@mit.edu jokim@uni.uiuc.edu
