Installation Help
=================
The Intense3D IntenseDrv Display Driver supports the Intense3D Pro
series display adapters on Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II and Xeon
workstations. This driver will not run on any machine which does not
have PCI backplane hardware. Some display adapters have been designed
to work specifically in the AGP port instead of the PCI bus.
Additionally, the machine must have 3.3 volts on the PCI bus (for those
adapters that plug into the PCI bus) and provide support in the BIOS for
VGA behind a PCI bridge.
See MANIFEST.TXT for a list of delivered files.
To retrieve this version of the IntenseDrv Display Driver, use the
floppies provided or copy the files from the "disk1" and "disk2"
directories to two blank formatted floppies.

3D STUDIO MAX R2.x USERS
------------------------
The Intense3D Heidi Device Driver, glzihdd.hdi, was originally developed
to accelerate 3D Studio Max R1.x based on version 1.0 of the Heidi
Development Kit. This was done to provide 3DSMAX R1.x users with a
custom Heidi driver that could be used in place of the "Software Z
Buffer" driver in order to take advantage of hardware acceleration.
When the developers of 3D Studio Max Release 2.x decided to port the
application to use OpenGL as well as Heidi version 5.0, the Intense3D
driver strategy for 3DSMAX changed to provide hardware acceleration
through the use of OpenGL.
As a result, the Intense3D Heidi Device Driver was not ported to Heidi
version 5.0 and is therefore incompatible with 3DSMAX Release 2.x. The
Heidi Device Driver is currently delivered with the current Display
Driver in order to support those users who are still working with 3D
Studio Max Release 1.x.
3D STUDIO MAX R1.x USERS
------------------------
The Intense3D Heidi Device Driver, glzihdd.hdi, was developed to
accelerate 3D Studio Max R1.x running on systems with the IntenseDrv
Display Driver that accompanies it on the installation media. You
should always update the Heidi Driver to match the current Display
Driver. Using a version of the Heidi Driver that does not correspond
to the version of the Display Driver may result in system hangs or poor
performance.
For example, the Heidi Driver built for Windows NT 3.51 will cause a
system hang if used on a system running the Windows NT 4.0 version of
the Display Driver.
The OEM Setup for the display driver will copy the Heidi Device Driver,
glzihdd.hdi, to your %SystemRoot%\system32 directory. Once 3DSMAX is
installed on your system, move glzihdd.hdi from %SystemRoot%\system32 to
the "DRIVERS" sub-directory of the 3DSMAX product. For example, if you
have installed 3DSMAX to the root directory of your C: drive, you should
copy glzihdd.hdi to C:\3DSMAX\DRIVERS as follows:
> copy %SystemRoot%\system32\glzihdd.hdi C:\3DSMAX\DRIVERS\.

may be available for your selection. If you have not chosen the
specific Monitor Type attached to your system, be sure to test an
individual resolution before applying it. If you encounter problems,
see the "Trouble Shooting" section below.
Gamma Correction File Format
============================
A Gamma Correction file must contain a complete gamma correction table
as well as a unique numerical identifier and DAC Resolution for
verification. An entire valid file consists of 770 lines each
containing a single numerical value. The first line contains the unique
numerical identifier, or "magic number". This value is 47434446 (a
representation of the hexadecimal ASCII code for GCDF; "Gamma Correction
Data File"). The second line contains the DAC Resolution which is ten
(10). The next 256 lines contain the gamma corrected digital values to
be presented to the monitor for Red. These are followed by 256 lines
containing values for Green then 256 lines containing values for Blue.
These digital values are integers in the range 0 - 1023. A sample
excerpt from a gamma correction file is shown below:
47434446 <- Magic Number
10 <- DAC Resolution
0 <- First Red Value
338
388
421
.
.
.
1023 <- Last Blue Value

Trouble Shooting
================
IF YOU BOOT NT AND THE SCREEN DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE PROPERLY, DO THE
FOLLOWING:
Reboot the system to NT, but hit the space bar immediately when
prompted. Select 'Use Last Known Good' in the Configuration Recovery
Menu. This approach assumes the last configuration was a valid
configuration, however.
If the 'Last Known Good' method does not apply to your case, try
selecting the VGA option from the system boot menu. Selecting this
option will boot NT with the VGA driver instead of the GL Display
Driver. At this point you can reinstall the GL Display Driver.
If all else fails:
Reboot the system to DOS and remove the file GLZMPD.SYS in the directory
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Reboot the system again and boot into
VGA mode. Since the Intense3D IntenseDrv Miniport Driver has been
removed, NT will use the Microsoft standard VGA driver. Re-install the
IntenseDrv Display Driver using the Display Properties page, select the
appropriate monitor and reboot the system. Following the reboot, select
an acceptable resolution using the Display Properties page.
If your system does not have DOS (NT only), and your installation of NT
uses the standard DOS file system (FATFS), you may boot from floppy then
remove this file from the system drive. If your NT system was built on
OS/2, or if your NT resides on HPFS, you may boot from an OS/2 system
recovery (boot) floppy and remove the file. If you have an NTFS-
formatted system disk, you will need to reload the NT Operating System
(you should choose to not reformat your system disk during
reinstallation, in order to preserve your software and data).
