You have to set up your XGASETUP.PRO file properly. Use DIFINST on the
XGA-2 drivers disk. There's about 25 different video-modes to choose betveen.

The XGASETUP.PRO file is located in directory XGA$DMQS. After having choosen
the mode you want, you can go to OS/2 Setup -> Screen and select the reso-
lution you  want upon next bootup.

If you're using 2.1b you should also be able to choose the video-mode from
OS/2 Setup -> Screen.

Email me, if you're having problems...
