Subject: Trident OS/2 Fullscreen problems
Summary: Corruption on fullscreen os/2 session after switching
Organization: Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 1992 16:29:29 GMT


I would like some help with some problems i am having with my trident 8900C.

When I switch to a full-screen OS/2 session, I first get a corrupted white 
screen for a few moments, then this is replaced by the correct screen. When I 
switch away from the full-screen session, the WPS-screen is corrupted. 

When I return to the full-screen session screen is completely corrupted.

I don't have any problems with full-screen DOS sessions.

My video setup:

 - Trident 8900C 1024K card             (Bios 3.01)
 - 800x600x16c driver from ftp-os2 (version beta 2.0.01)
 - No patches applied to video

I have tried the 800x600x256c driver with the tr256 fix, this worked for the WPS but not for the full-screen session. With this driver the WPS seems to switch
resolutions very quickly when the move-window of an object is generated.

I did not install the os2ldr + vsvga fix (trid_fix) because I don't have any DOS synch problems

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Does OS2 come with its own disk cache (like Win3.1 comes with Smartdrive 4.0).
I know that my computer does not right now have enough memory, and there is
a lot of disk thrashing.  Is this cached or not?
Also, is Hyperdisk compatible with OS2 (since it comes free with the 
computer I am buying) ?

Hi  All,

Thanks to all that offered help with my scsi tape problems. Below I have
listed the required files (just incase someone down the road wants to do
the same thing w/o the trouble).

	My System:

		486/50 ISA
		16 MB RAM
		3 664 MB Drives
		Adaptec 1542b
		Tandberg TDC3600
		OS/2 2.0 GA with hobbes fixes...

	Files:
		GTAK100.ZOO    209332
		AHA154X.ADD	15962	5-30-92
		IS2ASPI.DMD	 5946   6-19-92

This combo gives me about 5.012 MB/Min w/o using compression on archive files
(.zip, .zoo, .lha), 4.26 MB/Min on the same files w/compression.

It's  nice to have "tar"   back again.........

Can't be done.  With a DOS box, you're emulating a VGA board, and it's
simple to decide whether to put the image up full screen or in a
window.  With an OS/2 session, however, they are two different kinds
of session, not one session with two display options.  

Full screen OS/2 sessions have the ability to access video hardware
directly (after securing permission via some seldom-used VIO API's).
They can directly modify keyboard and mouse parameters (using some
obscure KBD and MOU API calls).  Full-screen sessions run as
independant processes - their parent process is the kernel, itself.

Windowed sessions can't do this - they all run as child process of the
PROTSHELL - namely, Presentation Manager.  Only PM can directly modify
hardware in this environment.

While all window-compatible apps will run full-screen, not all
full-screen apps will run in a window.  There is a flag in the
executable header to tell OS/2 if it must run full-screen or not, to
ensure that you don't try to run a non-window-compatible app in a
window.

Even if you could change the apps's mode (windowed to full-screen
might seem possible, full-screen to windowed would depend on the
application that is loaded, of course), you wouldn't be able to change
the process's parent.  Remember, windowed sessions run as children of
the PROTSHELL, and full-screen sessions run as children of the kernel.

Anyway, this may clear up some of the "why" as well as the "how".

No, you still have multiple processes.  You lose multiple *sessions*.
You can't DosStartSession another program.  You *can* DosExecPgm another
fullscreen program (meaning it runs in your same session)...this is what
CMD.EXE itself must do to run your app (in this environment).  You also can
have detached processes (I think ?) which by definition do not require
sessions.

In short, I suspect (without really knowing) that aside from GUI-ness,
PMSHELL gives you the Session Manager.

Actually, app A *might* support running app B in the middle of A (e.g. if A
lets you shell out to the command line).  It is up to the app.  The point is,
all your processes share the common screen group (session).

Really ?  You can start DOS sessions in this environment ?  Maybe my

Well, after buying OS/2 2 for only A$99 at the PC-Show last week (I knew
the PC show'd be useful for something :-) I've finally got around to
installing it.  Everything installed fine, looked ok running windows,
OS/2 & dos applications concurrently, but I was bored with 16 colours,
so I decided to put the Trident drivers in.

I got the latest drivers I could find (trios22a), & started following
the instructions.  However, I didn't get very far.  I made the usual
back-ups, checked that IOPL=YES was in the config file, and then
went into a full-screen DOS session, to enter "SVGA ON".  Herein
lieth the problem - it not only didn't produce a file by name of
SVGADATA.PMI, it gave me the message:

	SVGA: PMI File Generator (v1.00)
	Usage: SVGA <ON | OFF>

Now I'm stuck.  I can't get SVGA to give me anything but this message
(or a file not found if I try to be stupid and take it literally and
enter "SVGA <ON | OFF>"), so I can't get the file & proceed further.
It just gives me this stupid usage message, which I am following,
no matter what I do.  Anyone else had this problem, or do you think
I'm one of the lucky people who has got a corrupt copy?  It's size
43761, dated 3-30-92 12:00, not that that means much.

I'm running OS/2 as dual boot along with DOS 5, so am using the normal
FAT, not HPFS, and had no problems at all during installation, so I have
no reason to believe that I have a faulty disk - any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It does.  You need to install the ATM fonts for WIN-OS2.  Start a
WIN-OS2 full-screen session.  From the Program Manager, run the ATM
Control Panel.  Click on "Add", and add the fonts.  They are shipped
on the last printer disk (printer disk 5 for 3.5" users)

After adding the fonts, quit and restart all WIN-OS2 sessions.
They'll have ATM active - scalable Times Roman, Helvetica, and Courier
fonts.  You can always load additional fonts later if you have them.

Note also that ATM doesn't run in WIN-OS2's Real Mode.

At least this part is a years old rumour.. The OS/2 database manager is

How do you measure "performance"?

Are you 'wall clock' timing execution?

I typically find a 95-98% speed.

Jeeze I hope Windoze/NotThere crashes and burns.  I'd hate to lose the
workplace
shell and go back to that idiot windows interface.  Since it's Microsoft, it's
probably going to be buggy as hell and crash all the time anyway.  Besides, at
the next release of OS/2, the kernel will be the UNIX MACH 3.0 kernel. 
Probably
the RS6000 will be running that right away, and the SPARK, PA, & MIPS chips
wont
be far behind.

	I would like to know what to do to have OS/2 recognize both
my DOS C: and D: partitions (although they need not keep those names),
so that when I run OS/2, I have three partitions.

Yes.  OS/2 will not let you delete the DLLs when it is running.
Simply copy all of the DLLs to the destination, then delete *.DLL
in the source directory.  The minimum DLL files are left behind
because they are busy.

As for getting a faster system, you may or may not be successful.  Your HPFS
partition may be physically farther away from your data than your FAT
boot partition, so you may not get any real speedup.  Your mileage may
vary...

I think keeping the smallest part of OS/2 on FAT is a good idea so
you can boot with a DOS floppy to edit CONFIG.SYS; booting an OS/2
floppy takes forever!

Is there anyway to get Links 386 Pro to work under OS/2?  It uses the
Phar Lap DOS extender.  I thought this was supposed to be DPMI
compliant.

Just a thought, either OS/2 will REALLY succeed or companies like Phar
Lap will make a killing for DOS users.
