This release of the Intense4kDrv Display Driver will only install and run on systems running Windows NT 4.0. This driver supports standard and wide format, 24 inch and 28 inch, monitors. -------------------------- End of Version Information -------------------------- Installation Help ================= The Intense3D Intense4kDrv Display Driver supports the Intense3D Wildcat series display adapters on Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II and Xeon workstations. This driver will not run on any machine which does not have PCI backplane hardware. Some display adapters have been designed to work specifically in the AGP port instead of the PCI bus. Additionally, the machine must have 3.3 volts on the PCI bus (for those adapters that plug into the PCI bus) and provide support in the BIOS for VGA behind a PCI bridge. See MANIFEST.TXT for a list of delivered files. To retrieve this version of the Intense4kDrv Display Driver, use the floppies provided or copy the files from the "disk1" and "disk2" directories to two blank formatted floppies. Note: All previous versions of the "Intergraph Display Driver" and the "Intense3D Display Driver" should be uninstalled prior to loading this version of the Intense3D Intense4kDrv Display Driver. See the Uninstall Help section for additional information on uninstalling these drivers. WINDOWS NT 4.0 SETUP - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! --------------------------------------------- 1.

WINDOWS NT 4.0 UNINSTALL ------------------------ 1. Choose the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel. 2. A dialog will appear listing the software that can be automatically removed by windows. 3. Select "Intense3D Display Driver" from the list and click Add/Remove. 4. A dialog will appear which describes the function of the Intense3D Display Driver uninstall program and you will be prompted to verify the removal of the Display Driver. Screen Resolution and Refresh Rate Table ======================================== To access the list of available screen resolutions and refresh rates, the "List All Modes..." button on the "Settings" page of the Display Properties page must be selected. 1. Choose the Display icon in the Control Panel. 2. Select the "Settings" page. 3. Select the "List All Modes..." button to access the table of supported screen resolutions and refresh rates. Multiple screens are supported as of the 4.3 release of the Display Driver. The desktop may now span up to four monitors horizontally, or up to four vertically or be configured in a 2 x 2 arrangement. The monitor configuration is selected on the "Intense3D Monitor" page in the Display Properties applet. The maximum number of pixels in either the horizontal or vertical axis is 4096. Note: NT 4.0 does not support the "Primary Left/Top" feature that was available with NT 3.51. Monitor Selection ================= The "Intense3D Monitor" page in Display Properties must be used to change the monitor type. 1. Choose the Display icon in the Control Panel. 2. Select the "Intense3D Monitor" page. 3. Select the appropriate monitor type. 4. Reboot for the selection to take affect. Support has been added for DDC monitors. To enable use of DDC information from the monitor, select a monitor type of "DDC monitor". DDC information is only retrieved from the monitor at boot time if "DDC monitor" is selected. Stereo ====== To view the supported stereo display modes, the "Advanced" button on the "Intense3D Settings" page in Display Properties must be selected. 1. Choose the Display icon in the Control Panel. 2. Select the "Intense3D Settings" page. 3. Select the "Advanced" button. 4. Select the "Enable Stereo Display" check box. 5. Select the desired stereo display mode. Only modes supported by the currently selected monitor will be available for selection. 6. Select "OK" to close the "Advanced Configuration" dialog. 7.

Reboot for the selection to take affect. For Frame Sequential Stereo, it is important that the correct Monitor Type (see above for details) be selected before enabling this stereo display mode. If the specific Monitor Type attached to your system is not selected, resolutions that are beyond the capability of this monitor may be available for your selection. If you have not chosen the specific Monitor Type attached to your system, be sure to test an individual resolution before applying it. If you encounter problems, see the "Trouble Shooting" section below. Gamma Correction File Format ============================ A Gamma Correction file must contain a complete gamma correction table as well as a unique numerical identifier and DAC Resolution for verification. An entire valid file consists of 770 lines each containing a single numerical value. The first line contains the unique numerical identifier, or "magic number". This value is 47434446 (a representation of the hexadecimal ASCII code for GCDF; "Gamma Correction Data File"). The second line contains the DAC Resolution which is ten (10). The next 256 lines contain the gamma corrected digital values to be presented to the monitor for Red. These are followed by 256 lines containing values for Green then 256 lines containing values for Blue. These digital values are integers in the range 0 - 1023. A sample excerpt from a gamma correction file is shown below: 47434446 <- Magic Number 10 <- DAC Resolution 0 <- First Red Value 338 388 421 . . . 1023 <- Last Blue Value Context Sensitive Help ====================== Context Sensitive Help is available on the "Intense3D Settings" page, the "Intense3D Monitor" page, and the pop-up dialogs reached from each of these pages. 1. Choose the Display icon in the Control Panel. 2. Select the "Intense3D Settings" or "Intense3D Monitor" page. 3. Select the control for which Context Sensitive Help is desired by pressing the "Tab" key on the keyboard until that control is highlighted. 4. Press the "F1" key on the keyboard. This will cause Context Sensitive Help to be activated. 5. Press the "Esc" key on the keyboard to cancel Context Sensitive Help. The Context Sensitive Help for a button on either the "Intense3D Settings" page or "Intense3D Monitor" page is an overview of the help for the controls on that dialog. To obtain more specific Context Sensitive Help for these items, press the button to display the pop-up dialog; then, activate Context Sensitive Help for the item you prefer.

Trouble Shooting ================ IF YOU BOOT NT AND THE SCREEN DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE PROPERLY, DO THE FOLLOWING: Reboot the system to NT, but hit the space bar immediately when prompted. Select 'Use Last Known Good' in the Configuration Recovery Menu. This approach assumes the last configuration was a valid configuration, however. If the 'Last Known Good' method does not apply to your case, try selecting the VGA option from the system boot menu. Selecting this option will boot NT with the VGA driver instead of the GL Display Driver. At this point you can reinstall the GL Display Driver. If all else fails: Reboot the system to DOS and remove the file GLZMPD.SYS in the directory %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Reboot the system again and boot into VGA mode. Since the Intense3D Intense4kDrv Miniport Driver has been removed, NT will use the Microsoft standard VGA driver. Re-install the Intense4kDrv Display Driver using the Display Properties page, select the appropriate monitor and reboot the system. Following the reboot, select an acceptable resolution using the Display Properties page. If your system does not have DOS (NT only), and your installation of NT uses the standard DOS file system (FATFS), you may boot from floppy then remove this file from the system drive. If your NT system was built on OS/2, or if your NT resides on HPFS, you may boot from an OS/2 system recovery (boot) floppy and remove the file. If you have an NTFS- formatted system disk, you will need to reload the NT Operating System (you should choose to not reformat your system disk during reinstallation, in order to preserve your software and data).
