I agree, especially with the ET4000 chipset.  The XGA-2 is fast enough,
but I haven't seen any other drivers I like the speed of.  (Personal 
opinion and not to toot our horn.)

The problem comes when you try and introduce a sophisticated multitasking
system into a market where systems vary tremendously in quality and to
which the "base" operating system has been so unsophisticated.  It's 
amazing to me that OS/2 runs on as many machines with as few problems as
it does.

Count me in that, too.  I want one for my home system permanently, not
the take-home-and-test one.

I've seen the beta, it takes about 15 megs of disk space. The released
product will probably occupy more (more class libraries, online help,
samples, tools etc.) but probably not more than twice tof that amount.

I don't have a good answer for you, but the error message is indicating that
the file VSVGA.SYS was found, but for some reason when the device driver
initialization routine was called, it detected some type of error condition
and returned to the system in error ("Hey I can't load, ignore me").

Subject: Icon formats, etc.
Keywords: Icon
Organization: NAS Program, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 92 19:31:52 GMT

A similar post in .apps resulted in one request for a summary,
and one very partial answer.  Maybe the thread I appended my
questions to was already dying.   Anyway, perhaps someone here
is willing to do better...


When editing icons, I find that it is possible to save
them in any of a number of different formats, and that
many combinations of resolution and number of colors are
possible.

I tried to learn about these formats in all of the online help,
under every name I could think of.  No dice.  Can't find anything
in the FAQ or by lurking in these newsgroups.  If you can help,
please answer:

1) If there is more than one format stored, which one will be
   used in a given situation? (screen resolution/driver, etc.)

2) I see that the icons appear to be about the same size regardless
   of the size of bitmap which is stored.  How is the scaling
   done?  (e.g., if I make a 64x64 icon, and display it on a
   screen where it covers only 20x20 pixels, does it average 
   color values?  throw pixels away?  what?)

3) There is the option of storing the icon in (pardon my faulty
   memory of the terms) forms such as 1.2, 2.0 and 2.0 packed.
   a) is 2.0 incompatible with 1.2 systems?
   b) is 2.0 better than 1.2 for 2.0 systems?
   c) what is "2.0 packed", and why doesn't that button work?

4) It seems that icons can be stored in files like "myicon.ico"
   or in some other way (as part of the extended attributes?).
   how does this work?  I'd just like to know what's going on.

5) Anything else I should have asked.

I'll post a summary if it seems worthwhile, otherwise I'll just
email to those who request it.

Thanks,

No, it's not the seamless drivers. I'm using the non-seamless Trident 
800x600x256 drivers, and my ini file grows like the budget deficit. (I 
shrank it with one of the inicopiers yesterday, but I'm at 950k already...)

One of the machines I take care of at work has a Paradise card with the
WD90C31 accelerator.  Windows is pretty zippy with it, so it'd sure be nice
to see OS/2 drivers.

Do you have a FAX number for Paradise?  I have a standard "I WANT OS/2

their act in gear.  I'd be more than willing to see that Paradise gets a
copy of it.

I think you should have no problem provided you have hardware
handshaking enabled and that you are using the buffered 16550AFN UART,
as you describe.

Incidently, IBM PS/2 systems now have DMA serial and parallel ports,
which really help lift the load off the CPU.

It will certainly help OS/2 -- that much is easy to answer.  I suppose
your real question is how much it will help, and whether that much
assistance is worth it.  The answer, unfortunately, is, "It depends."
If you have return privilege on the device you can try it out and
judge yourself, under your specific setup (mix of hardware, software,
and patterns of use).

In general, the first area you should address when trying to boost
OS/2 system performance is RAM.  OS/2 benefits most from RAM.  The
second area to look at is probably hard disk -- a faster hard disk is
better than a slower one.  A cached hard disk adapter may help in this
area.  Then processor becomes important.

The font and window size should also be reported.  On my system, the 
windowed scrolling speed is directly proportional to the amount of 
display space the window occupies.  A 25 line window with the 16x8 
font on a 1024x768x256 display is about 6 times slower than a full
screen session.  A 50 line window with the same font runs 11 times 
slower.  

If you really want to skew the times, run it in a 2 line window with an 
8x8 font.  Then it runs at close to full screen speed. ;-)
