G'day Robert,

Have a look for a newer installation procedure in comp.os.os2.setup.video
using dejanews. This procedure was dated 06/01/1997. The article subject line
was "Success: ET6000 with Warp 4 (read)". Sorry, but I just printed the
procedure out, and did not retain a copy on disk.

Also obtain the latest drivers from www.tseng.com.

I had the same problem as you, but solved it using the above. 


Cheers Manfred.

:>
:>It appears to me that the problem may be that the svgadata.pmi file in the

:>screen with the same result as the previos paragraph. The command line options
:>I have tried are on monitor, on init and on dos, all with the same result. The
:>svga status produces a list of screen sizes and resolutions.

:>Any help guidance would be much appreciated.
