Make sure you type:

C:\OS2\SVGA.EXE on monitor

then type 

AUTO

when the screen reappears.  After that is all done open a DOS full
screen 
and go to your OS2 directory and type SVGA on DOS.

This creates a svgadata.dos.  Delete the svgadata.pmi and rename it
svgadata.pmi.

Also make sure you use IBM's Warp 4 drivers from:
