IBM IntelliStation M Pro - STB Glyder MAX-2 installation and configuration tips
Applicable to: World-Wide
The following is a list of Hints & Tips when configuring the STB Glyder MAX-2 video adapter under Windows 95 and
Windows NT 4.0 :
Windows 95 "Mars Rover" Color Distortion:
Users may notice that the sky and terrain colors do not blend smoothly, but instead have a choppy appearance when video is set to 800x600 at 64k colors. Download and install the current STB Glyder MAX-2 Windows 95 video driver for machine type 6898.
Windows NT 4.0 README.TXT Installation Errors:
The Windows NT 4.0 README.TXT may incorrectly state that the user must click on the browse button to find the device driver instead of simply clicking on the "Have Disk" button. The README.TXT file may also fail to mention that the second disk is needed to complete the installation. Download and install the current STB Glyder MAX-2 Windows NT video driver for machine type 6898.
Unable to change refresh rates in Windows 95 OSR1:
After selecting "Display Properties," "Permedia Setup," and "Preferred Refresh Rate," the user is unable to change to a new refresh rate after clicking on "Apply" or "OK." The updated driver will notify the user via a pop-up window that the system must be rebooted for the new refresh rates to take effect. Download and install the current STB Glyder MAX-2 Windows 95 video driver for machine type 6898.
Sentences in README.TXT are cut off when printed in Windows 95:
Users may notice that some sentences are cut off when printing the README.TXT file under Windows 95. This formatting error is corrected in the current Windows 95 video driver. Download and install the current Windows 95 STB Glyder MAX-2 video driver for machine type 6898.
640x480x256 at 60HZ not shown in README.TXT:
The README.TXT file may not list 640x480x256 at 60HZ as a valid optional resolution and refresh rate in Windows 95. This resolution and refresh rate is supported. The corrected README.TXT is contained in the current Windows 95 video driver. Download and install the current STB Glyder MAX-2 Windows 95 video driver for machine type 6898.
P201 blacks out at 1024x768x256 with 100Hz refresh rate:
Under Windows NT 4.0, the screen may intermittently black out for several minutes when the resolution and refresh rate are set to 1024x768 at 100Hz. This condition may be seen at all color depths. For resolutions of 1024x768 and 1152x870, the highest supported refresh rate on the IBM P201 display type 6555-803 and 6555-8E3 with the STB Glyder MAX-2 is 85Hz.
Cornerstone displays limited to 640x480 resolution:
Some models of Cornerstone monitors may display corrupted video when configured under Windows 95 OSR1. The condition is most often seen when setting resolutions above 640x480. This condition is corrected in the current Windows 95 video driver. Download and install the current STB Glyder MAX-2 Windows 95 video driver for machine type 6898.
Vertical lines displayed in Hellbender DEMO mode:
When Hellbender is opened and the DEMO button is selected, a row of vertical lines appears across the top of the display. The lines are only seen at resolutions of 320x200 and 320x400. To correct the condition, select 640x480 in the game's setup area, set all options to maximum, and select the "Hardware Accelerator" option.
"Out of Display List Memory" error in Computer Associates:
When attempting to run Computer Associates "Unicenter," the error "Out of Display List Memory" is displayed. The error message is due to Unicenter's use of Texture Swapping. Texture Swapping is not available for the STB Glyder MAX-2 video adapter at this time, but may be included in a future release of the STB Glyder MAX-2 Windows drivers. Contact your
appropriate technical support center for information.
Start-up Color Distortion in DOOM95 and Corel Draw:
When starting the DOOM95 and Corel Draw programs, the screen is discolored. DOOM95 may be discolored at all resolutions. Corel Draw is discolored at 640x480x16 at 75Hz. Download and install the current STB Glyder MAX-2 Windows 95 video driver for machine type 6898.
