HOW TO GET STEREO TO WORK WITH DIAMOND FIRE GL 1000 PRO 
BOARD WITH WINDOWS NT 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------


1) Load the latest driver from Diamond (most files dated 
   2/20/98 or later). As of this writing, this driver which
   supports stereo properly is still a beta driver, and is
   not available from Diamond's web or ftp sites, though 
   both Diamond and StereoGraphics tech support have been 
   sending it out on request. 

   To obtain this driver from the StereoGraphics FTP site:
   From DOS prompt, change to the directory where you want 
   to download to, activate your Internet connection, and 
   type "ftp ftp.stereographics.com", then log in as 
   "anonymous", type your e-mail address as your password,
   change directory "cd Developers", select download mode
   by typing "binary", and then download the file by typing
   "get di1000nt.zip". Finally, "quit" the ftp session.

   DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL DRIVER FILES BY SIMPLY COPYING 
   OVER EXISTING DISPLAY DRIVER FILES.

   To load the driver: First unzip the driver files into a 
   temporary directory. Then bring up the Control Panel, 
   choose "Display", click "Settings" and then "Display 
   Type". From that dialog box, click "Change", and then
   "Have Disk". Click "Browse" and use the resulting 
   file dialog box to locate the temporary directory that
   contains the new driver files. Finally, select the 
   driver installation file, "Dispoem.inf" and click 
   "Open". Follow further installation instructions when
   prompted. 


2) After restarting your system, change the display 
   settings (Control Panel, "Display", "Settings") to 
   800 x 600 x 65536 colors, 640 x 480 x 65536 colors, 
   or 640 x 480 x 16777216 colors, with a refresh frequency
   of 100 Hz or more (or as high as you can get it to work
   if your system has difficulty displaying at the higher 
   frequencies). Stereo will NOT work with this board using
   other display modes, such as 1024 x 768, or 256-color
   modes.


3) Go back to the Control Panel again and select "Display",
   followed by "Diamond Configuration". Under the 
   "Configuration Profiles" section of the dialog box pane,
   click "STEREO" and then "OK". You will then be asked to
   restart the system.


4) To test stereo mode on your system, load the special 
   stereo pipes screensaver, which is available from the 
   StereoGraphics ftp site. Here's how to get it: 

   From DOS prompt, change to the directory where you want 
   to download to, activate your Internet connection, and 
   type "ftp ftp.stereographics.com", then log in as 
   "anonymous", type your e-mail address as your password,
   change directory "cd Developers", select download mode
   by typing "binary", and then download the file by typing
   "get scrsave.zip". Finally, "quit" the ftp session.

   Unzip the file, and move the unzipped screensaver file
   to your C:\winnt\system32 directory, replacing the 
   previous non-stereo screensaver file of the same name.

   To activate the stereo screensaver, go into the Control
   Panel, select "Display" and then "Screen Saver", and 
   select the screensaver named "3D Pipes (OpenGL)". You 
   can now view the stereo screensaver by clicking 
   "Preview".


5) If the above steps failed to get stereo working for you,
   please examine all hardware connections. The emitter 
   should be firmly plugged into the connector on the 
   Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro card. Check through all of the
   above steps to make sure that stereo is configured 
   properly, and that you are in a compatible display mode.

The following text is from Diamond's original "readme" 
file that accompanied the driver:
------------------------------------------------------

This is a beta release of the NT 4.0 driver for the Fire 
GL 1000 Pro wich supports two Z buffers for applications 
which use stereo viewing. Unfortunately this limits the 
highest possible resolution for stereo viewing to 800x600 
in high color, compared to 1024x768 in high color with one 
Z buffer.

The second Z buffer can be disabled by setting the registry 
entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
glint\Device0\OpenGL.Stereo2ndZBuffer to 0 and rebooting 
the machine.

There is a new registry entry to swap the signal on the 
stereo connector. Default is left = high. Setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\glint\
Device0\OpenGL.StereoInvert to 1 will result in left = low.
