====================================================================== Diamond Stealth II Series Windows 95 Drivers with InControl Tools 95 ====================================================================== Release Notes ----------------- This is the Diamond Stealth II Series Windows 95 Display Drivers with InControl Tools 95. Installation Notes ------------------ These drivers require the latest version of DirectX 5 to support Direct Draw and Direct3D applications. Installing mini-GL support -------------------------- Note: (We have found that most GL games work great with this mini-GL driver, however, there may be applications that will exhibit some sort of instability. If you encounter problems with applications that utilize the mini-GL driver, we ask that you fill out a Problem Description Report (PDR.txt) located at: ftp://ftp.diamondmm.com/pub/misc/pdr.txt ) This version of the Stealth II S220 Windows 95 drivers includes a mini-GL driver. To activate mini-GL support, follow the below steps: 1. From Windows 95, select Start, then select Shut Down, then select "Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode." 2. Switch to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory by typing: cd \windows\system If you have Windows 95 installed into a different directory, modify the above as appropriate. 3. If you are using Windows 95 build 950 (retail version of Windows 95), skip to step 4. Otherwise, there is a file in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM called OPENGL32.DLL. Rename this file to OPENGL32.BAK by typing: ren opengl32.dll opengl32.bak 4. There is a file in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM called V2KSIIGL.DLL. Rename this file to OPENGL32.DLL by typing: ren v2ksiigl.dll opengl32.dll 5. Reboot your system. The Stealth II S220 mini-GL driver will be active.

When using an Unknown Monitor monitor type, the default refresh rate is 60Hz. 2. Addressed error in Winstone/Winbench 98 at 32bpp. 3. Some monitors were not displaying properly at 640x480 with 85Hz vertical refresh rate. This has been addressed. Known Limitations ------------------ 1. OpenGL screen savers will cause a General Protection fault with the Stealth II MiniGL driver installed. 2. DirectX5 loses dialog focus with the Front-end during DirectX5 installation, thus the Front-end covers up DirectX5 dialog. Use the Alt-Tab key combinations to change the focus and select the OK button to complete the installation of the drivers. 3. DTV 2000 will only display at 640x480.
