2 Installation instructions
2.1 Preparation
Note: If there were already other graphics boards
installed, their referring "oemx.inf" and
"oemx.pnf" files (where "x" read as numbers) in
the INF subdirectory of your system have to be
deleted. This is to ensure that the Plug&Play
recognition of Windows 2000 is working properly.
Copy all listed driver files to a formatted disk (or a
temporary directory). Uninstall all display adapter devices
under CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/HARDWARE/DEVICE MANAGER/DISPLAY
ADAPTERS. Remove your floppy disk and reboot your system.
2.2 Installation
Windows 2000 uses Plug&Play functions to recognize your
display adapter. Here is how:
1. Device recognized. The "Found New Hardware" wizard
will guide you.
- click "Next" - choose option
"Display a list of the known drivers ..."
- click "Next"
- choose "Display Adapters"
- click "Next"
- click "Have Disk..."
- choose the directory from (2.1)
- click "Ok"
- choose entry "ELSA Synergy II
- click "Next"
- click "Next"
- click "Yes".
Now the driver will be installed.
- click "Finish.
2. The installtion of the display driver is finished now.
Remove your floppy disk and reboot your system now.
Note: Depending on your monitor at the next reboot
Plug&Play will recognize and install a monitor
device.
2.3 Verification
Open CONTROL PANEL/DISPLAY/SETTINGS. Verify that you can
read "Plug and Play Monitor on ELSA Synergy II".
You should now be able to use a resolution higher than
800x600.
2.4 Adjusting Refresh Frequencies
Click "Advanced" Button on Display Properties Page. Go to
Monitor Properties Page and use the DropDown-List "Refresh
Frequency".
2.5. Display Driver Update with w2ksetup.exe
For easy driver update you can use w2ksetup.exe simply by
doubleclicking on it in Windows Explorer.
After installation the driver will be started automatically.
If this is not possible you will be asked to restart your
computer.
If the driver cannot be installed a messagebox will be
displayed.
2.5.1. Commandline Parameters
You can also control w2ksetup by commandline options.
The following options are available:
SILENT - No dialog boxes are displayed during (un)
installation which would require user
interaction.
REBOOT - After (un)installation the system will be
automatically rebooted if necessary.
UNINSTALL - All ELSA graphics board drivers will be
uninstalled. A dialog box informs at the end if
a restart is required.
SERVICE - Allows the user to specify the service to
uninstall (e.g. EGLIIM).
Without this option all ELSA graphics drivers
will be uninstalled.
This parameter has no influence on installation.
Examples:
Installation:
- W2KSetup.exe SILENT REBOOT
Installs the ELSA driver for Windows 2000
without user interaction. If necessary, the
system will be rebooted automatically.
Otherwise the driver will be started
directly.
Uninstallation:
- W2KSetup.exe UNINSTALL SILENT REBOOT SERVICE EGLIIM
Uninstalls the ELSA display driver for a
GLoria II.
If necessary, the system will be rebooted.
Note: Be careful when using the manual uninstallation.
Wrong usage could lead to an unstable system.
2.5.2. Exitcodes (for automated installation):
The following exitcodes are returned by w2ksetup:
-1 : Something went wrong without the driver being installed.
(e.g. no inf-file found)
0 : (Un)Installation failed. Possible cause: Driver does not
match the graphics board.
1 : Driver was (un)installed successfully.
