> How to I go into 1024 x 768 in OS/2 on the TP 750?
Go into the System Settings folder (not the notebook) and start up
Selective Install. When it gives you the choice of display types,
if it's already SVGA, change it to VGA, then back to SVGA, then click
OK. Don't select anything else for the install. It'll ask you to
insert the video drivers that shipped with your TP750 and give you
a choice of resolutions, among which 1024x768x256 will be a choice.
You'll like it. The speed is very near that at 640x480 resolution.
(Then again, I came from a 386/33 with an ET4000 so who knows)
The procedure you're describing about selecting the resolution off
a notebook is rumored to be in OS/2 2.2.

Yes it does. (The above procedure will run dspinstl)

I dunno, all dspinstl is supposed to do is replace your video drivers
and a few fonts (so you don't go blind trying to read tiny letters at
1024x768.
One thing I would like, that OS/2 2.2 might fix, is the ability to
switch between the two resolutions without having to install it off
floppy each time I change resolutions. That way I can run at 640x480
when I'm using the LCD, and when I manage to scrounge a monitor while
on the road, I can bump up to 1024x768 without having to carry half
the OS/2 install floppies with me on the road.
