This new version is a self installing executeable file for OS/2, so you
simply need to download the file and run it.
Changes in BETA 11:
- Brand new installer for professional version. Hopefully all license
registration problems will be fixed by this new installer.
- Added support for selection between small and large fonts and icons
for PM (WinOS/2 support is coming).
- Added support for listing both 32768 and 65536 color depths in the
system properties page. Also fixed problems with WinOS2 display
incorrect colors if 32768 modes were selected.
- Fixed line clipping problem for Y-major lines as seen in the Java
WireFrame demo program (and also in the Speedy benchmark).
- Fixed line clipping problem for horizontal and vertical lines when
dragging windows off the edge of the screen and back on again.
- Fixed memory detection problems for Cirrus Logic 543x/4x chipsets,
causing hardware cursor to disappear for some 2Meg boards.
- Fixed mono bitmap and text functions causing scrolling and BitBlt
corruption on Cirrus 543x/4x chipsets.
- Fixed lockup on booting with Cirrus 5434 chipsets.
- Fixed text corruption problems and other acceleration problems with
the Intel i740. Still working on solving some corruption problems with
high resolution and high refresh rate modes in 16/24bpp.
- Fixed screen corruption problems for Cirrus 543x/4x chipsets when
running high refresh rates with high color depths.
- Fixed hardware cursor glitches at 1600x1200 on Matrox Millenium
boards.
- Removed support for monochrome bitmap acceleration for the original
S3 Virge chipsets, which have hardware corruption that we cannot work
around. All Virge chipsets later than the original do not exhibit this
problem (ie: Virge/DX, Virge/GX, Virge/VX etc).
Changes in BETA 10:
- Added updated BVHSVGA.DLL to solve OS/2 fullscreen session problems.
- Added support for GRADD based refresh control back in, allowing you
to select refresh rates from the system properties page.
- Fixed more bugs in hardware line drawing for clipped lines when
WinOS2 is being used. Checked to ensure that JMark line drawing tests
work properly, as well as the Speedy WinOS2 benchmark (when lines are
clipped).
- Changed PMI driver to list the highest performance mode out of 24
and 32 bit modes, with preference for 32bit modes. Now you should only
see one set of modes show up in the system properties page.
- Fixed PCI retries problems for Matrox, and S3 boards causing
problems with sound getting corrupted when scrolling large screens of
data.
- Fixed problems with 1152x864x16 modes on Matrox Mystique
boards.</li><li>Fixed crash on startup with certain display modes with
the S3 Savage3D/4 based chipsets.
- Fixed problems with some hardware not correctly being detected and
failing to load in Nucleus. Unknown hardware should correctly fall back
on the VBE driver (ala GENGRADD).
- Fixed problems with some revisions of the NVidia boards not being
detected and falling back on the VBE driver. These boards do not have a
VBE 3.0 BIOS and hence refresh control was disabled.
- Added support for AMD K6-2, K6-III and Athlon processor write
combining. AMD systems should get much improved system memory to video
memory performance with this new support.
