I haven't installed Warp yet but twice I have attempted to install SVGA
drivers for OS/2 2.11 and messed it up. First time, OS/2 hung on booting
(just at the point of trying to display the hour glass - the first PM
display) and I was told buy our IS guys I had to reinstall OS/2 from
scratch.
Next time I tried switching back to standard VGA having installed an SVGA
driver, again OS/2 would no longer boot up. Before reinstalling OS/2, I
tried looking in the OS/2 reference (Wow - what a novel idea!). There is a
helpful little entry in the index which reads "VGA Support, restoring mode".
Referring to this section describes the steps required:
Simply boot up with the OS/2 installation diskette (don't ask me what you
CD-ROM users have to do!), and when you get to install disk 1, you elect to
exit to an OS/2 prompt without going any further. Change to your \OS2
directory and enter SETVGA C: (or whatever your OS/2 drive is). Follow
on screen instructions and when you reboot everything works again in
glorious VGA!
It's amazing what you can learn from the manuals. Although I can't speak for
Warp...
