Here's my procedure. It assumes  you have a DOS/Windows3.1 partition
with the plain windows3.1 MGA drivers installed somewhere.  (or can grab the
two windows driver files from somewhere..)


1. Install Merlin, install MGA drivers normally, setup high 
   (e.g., 1280x1024) resolution in PM and [automatically] Winos2.
   Hint: when selecting WinOS2 support during install, select advanced,
   and "create new desktop" so Merlin doesn't try to migrate the
   desktop from your DOS partition, which has MGA stuff which won't
   work anyway..
2. copy mgax64.dll and mgax64.drv from your DOS/Win partition's
   windows\system directory to x:\os2\mdos\winos2\system
3. edit x:\os2\mdos\winos2\system.ini:
	change display.drv=smgax64.drv to display.drv=mgax64.drv.

It works well for me.  My 5-year-old daughter's pile of games all
work fine set to WinOS2 Full-screen.
