Obsidian 2 Tutorial |
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ARE FOR INSTALLING 3dfx WINDOWS 95/98 REFERENCE DRIVERS WITH THE OBSIDIAN2 S/X GRAPHICS ACCELERATORS. NOTE: Users may install the 3dfx reference drivers while waiting for Quantum3D to release updated drivers. However, Quantum3D's advanced features and functionality will not be available. These advanced features include Property Page settings, TV output, and Performance Tuning. |
1. Download the 3dfx reference drivers for the Obsidian2 graphics accelerator from the 3dfx's web site. |
2. Extract the downloaded file into a temporary directory. Review the 3dfx installation procedure in the readme file. |
3. Remove the Obsidian2 adapter from the Device Manager in the System Properties Dialog. From the Start menu, select Settings and then Control Panel. Double-click on System, select the Device Manager tab. Double-click on the Display adapter, secondary listing. Select the Obsidian2 3D graphics accelerator and click on the Remove button. If you have an X-16 or X-24 Obsidian2, select the second Obsidian2 listing and remove it as well. |
4. Uninstall the Obsidian2 drivers from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. From the Start menu, select Settings and then Control Panel. Double-click on Add/Remove Programs, select the Install/Uninstall tab. Scroll through the list and select the Quantum3D Obsidian2 adapter listed. Click on the Add/Remove button. Restart the computer. When Windows is restarted, the last portion of the removal is done automatically. |
5. Install the 3dfx Reference Drivers as describe in the 3dfx readme file. If you experience display anomalies (corrupted images, purple colors) with the 3dfx Reference drivers, use the following Reg file for the Obsidian2 adapter to resolve these problems. In addition, after uninstalling the 3dfx reference drivers make sure to remove the registry entries as well which were made during installation. the reg file mentioned above: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\3Dfx Interactive] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\3Dfx Interactive\Voodoo2] @="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\3Dfx Interactive\Voodoo2\D3D] @="" "SSTV2_FT_CLK_DEL"="5" "SSTV2_TF0_CLK_DEL"="7" "SSTV2_TF1_CLK_DEL"="7" "SSTV2_SLIM_VIN_CLKDEL"="3" "SSTV2_SLIM_VOUT_CLKDEL"="2" "SSTV2_SLIS_VIN_CLKDEL"="3" "SSTV2_SLIS_VOUT_CLKDEL"="2" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\3Dfx Interactive\Voodoo2\Glide] @="" "SSTV2_FT_CLK_DEL"="5" "SSTV2_TF0_CLK_DEL"="7" "SSTV2_TF1_CLK_DEL"="7" "SSTV2_SLIM_VIN_CLKDEL"="3" "SSTV2_SLIM_VOUT_CLKDEL"="2" "SSTV2_SLIS_VIN_CLKDEL"="3" "SSTV2_SLIS_VOUT_CLKDEL"="2" |
