Here is a copy of some email I sent to Diamond tech support.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
------------------------------------------------------------

I am attempting to get my newly installed Diamond Stealth 32 video card to work
correctly with OS/2 Warp and my Videocom monitor.

I tried the 2.1 drivers supplied at your FTP site which not only didn't work
but overwrote my svga.exe with a useless older version.

I tried the ET4000w32 emulation with some success. However I continue to be
unable to get correct horizontal alignment at 1024 x 768 x 256 60hz or above.

When I use setmode to select a monitor with the same specs as mine, I get this
slight alignment problem. When I use setmode to define my own monitor,
I get no option for modes above 800 x 600 and most of the modes I am presented
with (in the system settings notebook) do not work. I am experienced with
monitor specs and have meticulously entered the details from the
manual into setmode.

The procedure I have been following is:
setmode to configure monitor
setmode monitor
cd \os2
svga on
(or alternatively svga on dos)

Please help me to get a properly working setup and please inform as to when
fully operational and functional stealth 32 drivers will be available for warp.
