Generic Video Setup Instructions

These have stood me in good stead for nearly three years now, with 
Trident and Cirrus Logic video cards. Hopefully something similar will be 
helpful to you!

1. Boot DOS (for Trident) or open a DOS fullscreen session (Cirrus)
2. Run the manufacturer's setup utility (TVGACRTC for Trident, CLMODE for 
   Cirrus)
3. Set up your video/monitor combination in accordance with their 
   capabilities, and your preferences
4. Quit the setup utility and run SVGA from \OS2: SVGA ON DOS
5. Copy the SVGADATA.PMI from the curret directory to \OS2, shutdown, 
   reboot, and bob's your uncle!
