Rendition®* V1000 Reference Drivers

Version: 2.1 beta2 - November 14th, 1997

These drivers are beta reference drivers. They are not supported by Rendition, Inc. or by board manufacturers. They are provided to users of Rendition based products on an "as is" basis, without warranty. They may not be disassembled or reverse-engineered.

These drivers may not work on your system, or you may lose enhanced functionality provided by your board manufacturer's drivers. Make sure you retain a copy of your existing drivers before installing these drivers.

Check with your board manufacturer to get updated, supported drivers. The fixes present in these reference drivers should make their way into your board manufacturers' next release, dated later than November 14th 1997.

Installation Instructions for v1000 Reference Drivers

Open Control Panel
Open Display
Select the Settings tab
Click the Advanced Properties button
Click the Change button
Click Have Disk button
Click the Browse button
Change to the directory where the drivers are located (i.e. on the CD) Once you have found the proper directory, there should be a "V1000.INF" visible in the left window pane.
Click OK
Click OK again
Click OK again (Rendition Verite 1000 PCI should be visible in the window) At this point, the drivers are being installed. Once they have been installed, you will need to restart Windows (you should be automatically prompted you to do this).

OpenGL Instructions

For any OpenGL game that you want to play (i.e., GLQuake), make sure there is not a file called "Opengl32.dll" located in it's directory. If there is, delete this file. Then copy the "veritegl.dll" include in this zip to your game's directory, and rename it "opengl32.dll".

Trouble shooting

If for some reason you have any problems after installing these drivers, try the following first.

On your CD, there is a program called "PHX2105.COM" (this should be located in the same general vicinity as where you found the drivers. Copy this file to your root directory on your C: drive. Then, edit your "Autoexec.bat" and add the following line:

C:\PHX2105.COM

This will load the TSR version of our latest BIOS. If you wish to disable having this load every time you start your PC, then "REM" out the above line in your he above line in your "Autoexec.bat" file (just add REM in front of the line and save).
