I'd try using Matrox's 2.14.054 version of the driver, supposedly they
fixed several problems, and I noticed a difference especially in the chess
game when I upgraded... the new drivers are at http://www.matroxusers.com ,
I think they also fixed some EnDIVE stuff in this release of the driver...

Hi,

I've Escape 2.1 running alright in 1280x1024 with 16 bits (I've also got
it to work with 16M colors).  
Driver version 2.20.055 and BIOS 2.9 although with earlier (2.13 and
2.14 drivers it worked also).

In CONFIG.SYS I've only the following OpenGL 3D settings (Pentium
(?)/Pentium Pro optimizing driver):
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2OGL.SYS
SET OGL_VIDEO_MEM_SIZE=4

Regards,
Ilkka Karppinen

PTW.  Setting Fast Single Buffering Enabled in Escape makes atleast 3D
Lines draw more quickly.

I'm running at 1024x768, 16m colors, 4mb Matrox Mill (and also 8mb on another
machine).  I had to add the following lines to my config.sys

REM *** OpenGL correction for Matrox video driver problem
SET OGL_BIT_COUNT=32
SET OGL_SCANLINE_SIZE=4096


Works fine now.  DIVE and ENDIVE enabled.  Warp Connect, FP35, 2.20.055
drivers.

Needless to say, it runs MUCH faster on my new P-II 400mhz 128meg machine than
on my P133mhz 96meg machine.  But the OGL fixes to config.sys did the trick.

Where did you get OS2OGL.SYS from?
Where did you get Escape 2.1 from?
How did you find out about OGL_VIDEO_MEM_SIZE?
(Probably from one of the first 2, I expect.)

TIA,
Greg

You can find it from WARP 4 Device Driver Pak (probably also from IBM's
corresponding
www-pages).  It's in the \drivers directory on a name OS2OGL.ZIP. 

> Where did you get Escape 2.1 from?

Bought it directly from Snow Storm Software (actually an update from an
earlier version).

The first.  See the inluded OS2OGL.DOC inside the OS2OGL.ZIP.

OS2OGL.ZIP was indeed in the OS2DDPAK directory at the IBM FTP site.
Seems to speed things up, too.  (PP200)  I don't know how you knew
about this in the first place, but thanks anyway!

Got 2.1 from Snow Storm.  (Had 2.0 already.)

Cheers,
Greg
