IBM Intellistation (Type 6898) - DirectDraw applications do not run with Intergraph adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

SYMPTOM:
Applications utilizing DirectDraw shut down after being started.

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
This tip applies to the IBM IntelliStation M-Pro, machine type 6898, equipped with the Intergraph Intense 3D Pro2200/4T video adapter.

The condition may also be seen on other IBM Commercial Desktop systems equipped with an Intergraph Intense 3D video adapter.

FIX:
None for DirectDraw applications that only assume an 8-bit color depth.

The Intergraph Intense 3D Pro2200/4T video adapter supports a 32-bit color depth. DirectDraw applications written to query the selected color depth should run without errors.

Applications that default to an 8-bit color depth must have a command line, or some other option, enabling them to be set to a 32-bit color depth in order to run with the Intergraph Intense 3D Pro2200/4T video adapter.
