1       Introduction

        This file explains how to configure the ELSA graphics
        driver setup.

1.1     Requirements

        This software only runs on Windows NT 4.0.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

2       Installation

        NOTE:   This software was designed for full functionality
                under Windows NT 4.0 only!

        There are several ways to use the ELSA setup:

        - Using the default setup wizard        (2.1)
        - Using commandline switches            (2.2)

2.1     Using the default setup wizard
      
        This is the option users should usually choose.
        Start setup by double clicking the executable.
        Setup guides the user through the installation process.
        The user is informed if conflicts or problems are detected, 
        and asked for interaction.
        
2.2     Using commandline switches

        This method is for advanced users (System Administrators) 
        to help them setting up machine in a comfortable way.

        WARNING: Using any of the provided commandline switches 
                 is highly dangerous unless you know exactly
                 what you are about to do.

2.2.1   The commandline switches

        All commandline switches do not need leading - or / to 
        function correct. So do not provide these chars otherwise
        setup may not function as desired.
        You may provide the switches in any order. If you enter an
        option twice, the first occurance is used.

        SILENT     Using this option forces the setupwizard to work 
                   without most of the userinteraction.
                   If the setupwizard encounters conflicts or 
                   problems during the installation process, the
                   setup terminates.
                   ( i.e. Graphics adapter and display driver do 
                   not match.)

        FORCE      This option passes any conflicts which have been 
                   detected during the setup process.
                 
        REBOOT     If this switch is given, setup does automatically
                   reboot the system upon finishing the installation
                   process.

        XRES=XYZ   At the next reboot the system will start with the
                   provided horizontal resolution. Where XYZ is the
                   decimal value in pixel.

        YRES=XYZ   At the next reboot the system will start with the
                   provided vertical resolution. Where XYZ is the 
                   decimal value in pixel.

        BPP=XYZ    At the next reboot the system will start with the
                   provided colordepth. Where XYZ is the decial value
                   in bits per pixel.

        HZ=XYZ     At the next reboot the system will start with the
                   provided frequency. Where XYZ is the decimal value
                   in hz.

        STARTMENU  If you provide this switch, setup adds links to 
                   the Readme and the Uninstaller in the Startmenu.
                   The Link is added in the ELSAware group for all
                   users.

        Expecially the switches concerning the predifined resolution
        are extremely dangerous. If your attached monitor or display
        adapter do not function with the provided values, you may 
        even destroy your hardware. Therefore use these switches 
        carefully.

        Example: setup.exe XRES=1024 YRES=768 BPP=32 HZ=75
                 forces the system to start with a resolution of 
                 1024x768 in true color at 75 hz.

2.2.2   The background images

        Setup is capable of displaying background images during the 
        installation process.
        Setup automatically detects if the bitmaps exist and displays
        them.

        The background image must have the name 'background.bmp' 
        and must be copied in the directory with the setup.exe.

        If you want to offer different bitmaps for different 
        resolutions you may do so. The bitmaps must have the following
        names:

        VGA  (640x480)  : BACK_VGA.BMP
        SVGA (800x600)  : BACK_SVGA.BMP
        XVGA (1024x768) : BACK_XVGA.BMP

        For all other resolutions the default bitmap (background.bmp) 
        is used by the setup.

        If the special backgrounds are not found, the default background 
        is taken as well.

        NOTE: In case no display driver has been installed the system
              is running in 640x480 with 16 colors. So it is usefull 
              to design the BACK_VGA.BMP limited to 16 colors.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

3       Deinstallation

        The ELSA Setup utility has prepared an easy way to deinstall your
        display adapter software.

        Call the uninstaller to remove the display adapter driver and all
        related utilities.
        The unistaller can be found in the ControlPanel under Add/Remove 
        Software.

        Double click with the left mousebutton on the entry for the graphics
        adapter you want to deinstall.

        When the deinstalltion process has finished, you are liked to reboot
        the system.
        After the reboot the system comes up using the standard-VGA resolution.
