README for Diamond Stealth Drivers
- June 16, 1995 -
*************************************************************************
PLEASE NOTE - These drivers are NOT supported by Microsoft. Any problems
with these drivers should be directed to Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc.
See the information at the end of this file on how to contact Diamond.
*************************************************************************
These drivers are provided "as is" by Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc.
They have received limited compatibility testing by Microsoft with the
June beta build of Windows 95, and are not supported by Microsoft.
This Stealth driver is a helper VxD that can be loaded in conjunction
with Windows 95's built-in S3 driver/minivdd to set refresh rates based
on the monitor type selected in Windows 95. This is needed to eliminate
the flickering screen problem often found when using the built-in driver.
Also, the Stealth 64 is particularly bad when using its 1024x768
resolution, since it runs in interlaced mode without the helper VxD.
Using the helper VxD provided here will fix the problem.
The INF file will copy the driver, minivdd, and helper VxD files to your
hard drive. The INF is needed to put a "RefreshRate=-1" entry into the
registry, which tells the minivdd to pass monitor timing data to the
mini/helper VxD to set the refresh rate.
