It has been stated in other posts that Wolf3D uses a special split
screen mode of your video card.  I don't know the details, but
apparently this special mode is the reason that some people have
no problems running Wolf3D under OS/2, and others just can't do it.
I think it has to do with how OS/2 handles your card and chipset.
I have a ProDesigner II (Tseng4000) and have no problems.

Also, try running SVGA ON from a full screen DOS prompt, then rebooting.
That will configure OS/2's vga/svga for your card specifically.
