Installation and Setup

SNAP Graphics/se installs on Convenience Package for OS/2 Warp 4 and
Convenience Package for OS/2 Warp Server for e-business.

To install SNAP Graphics/se:

1. Unzip all the files into a temporary directory, something other than
x:\snap, such as x:\snapinst, where x:\ is your boot drive.

Use the following command and required parameters to unzip the files:

    snapse218 -dir -over

2. Run setup sdd from the directory where you installed the files from
above.

3. Reboot your system.
(The system will boot up in the 640x480x256 display mode.)

4. Once the system is running, go to the second page of the 'Screen'
properties tab and verify that your monitor is selected. If "Standard
monitor types" and "Unknown monitor" is selected or the wrong monitor is
selected, then select your monitor Manufacturer and Model from the lists.

5. Go the 'System Properties' dialog box to select all the available
resolutions and color depths.

6. (Optional) Reboot your system.
(You need to shutdown for the changes to take effect. Reboot you system
now or when it is more convenient.)

When you have completed the installation, all the SNAP Graphics/se command
line utilities will be located in the x:\snap directory, where x:\ is the
drive where you have OS/2 located (i.e. your boot drive).

List of Supported Chips

This is a list of the graphics chipsets most recently supported by SNAP
Graphics/se. For a complete list of all chip sets supported, refer to the
readme.txt file in the package. This list refers to the actual chips being
used, not a board level implementation. Thus you will not see any products
from Hercules or STB on the list, but their products are supported because
they use S3, Cirrus, Tseng, etc. chips. Also, any card with less than
512KB of memory cannot be supported by SNAP Graphics/se.

Recent additions include:

    * GM20:
          o ATI Mobility Radeon X600
          o ATI Mobility Radeon X300
          o NVIDIA GeForce4 MX4000

    * GM19:
          o Intel i915G/GV

    * GM18:
          o Enhanced Acceleration and Zooming Support for Matrox MGA-P650

    * GM17:
          o ATI Radeon 9100
          o ATI Mobility Radeon 9600
          o Matrox MGA-P650
          o NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 8x
          o S3 ProSavage DDR (VIA KM266)

    * GM16:
          o ATI Radeon 9200
          o NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

    * GM15:
          o ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
          o NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 8X


Supported resolutions and color depths are adapter dependent and will vary
depending on the amount of graphics memory, the chip set driver
implementation, and the monitor selected/detected.

Service and Support

If you have purchased an active contract for Passport Advantage with
Software Maintenance, the terms and conditions of that contract will
determine the services to which you are entitled.

OS/2 Service Releases are available only by contacting IBM OS/2 Technical
Support. For U.S. customers entitled to technical support, the driver can
be obtained by calling 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) to open problem
record (PMR). Inform the Service Coordinator that you want to receive the
latest SciTech SNAP Graphics/se for OS/2.

For non-U.S. customers, contact the IBM Support Center in your country the
latest OS/2 Service Release.

In addition, you can report suspected Program defects via fax, mail or
electronically (where available). A defect is defined as a code error that
causes one of the following: (1) data corruption, (2) regression of
supported function, major application or device driver compatibility
error, (3) frequent trap or system hang, (4) serious visual problem or (5)
a significant portion of hardware or software environment is non-
functional. IBM will review your defect report and if IBM, in its sole
discretion, determines that corrective code is required, IBM may issue
corrective code in the form of a Fixpak or Program refresh. IBM does not
guarantee that all defects can or will be corrected. Defect support is
planned to be available for the Program until the service expiration date
of the IBM OS/2 operating system product on which the Program is designed
to run.

IBM reserves the right to modify or withdraw the above referenced support
at any time.

Please refer to the OS/2 Defect Support information in the OS/2 Strategy
for 2003 at http://www-3.ibm.com/software/os/warp/strategy/.
