I got by tp750c one week ago, 8 additional meg 3 days ago,
OS/2 for windows yesterday, and found a few minor limitations
I'd like feedback on. (I appreciate the dialog here, especially
the memory experiences of late. I have RTFMs that appeared
necessary.)
1. In DOS/6+WIN 3.1, I don't wake from hibernation with
the trackpoint alive. Seems to be fine with standby + suspend.
2. I'd like to be able to 'absolutely' mute the speaker. Especially
during system events like going into hibernation or coming out
in public places. Is that possible?
3. TP750C 256 color drivers: Seem to work correctly in DOS/WIN31.
OTOH, under OS/2, I don't get 256 colors in FULL SCREEN win31. Seemless
win31 mode causes the screen to completely lose control. If I Alt/F4
to kill the windows program, the screen/desktop return to normal. I'm
using the video disk that came with the tp750, installed as directed.
I have chosen the sVGA mode at 72Hz with small fonts. (Incidentally,
OS/2 for windows is neat, and, it has clearly changed the operation
of windows under dos. The load takes longer and the fonts feel different.
I haven't fully figured out what OS/2 does with truetype fonts. They
seem to be there but dont't look as good. And, yes, they are installed,
ATM is off, use TrueType is on.)
4. TP750C audio support under windows under os2 does not seem to be able
to get access to the resource under either permutation in the WIN/settings.
The OS/2 native sound (wav & midi) and video work great. I've played
a bit with other config programs to fix it. I haven't resorted to INI
editting.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated including directed RTFM references.
