Is it possible to change the driver from A4988 to DRV8825 and if so what do I need to change in settings?

The subdivision of drv8825 is different form A4988.

After changing a4988 to drv8825, the subdivision will be changed form 1/16 to 1/32,
this means you need to change steps per mm in firmware
refer to this link:
http://prusaprinters.org/calculator/#steppers
the value of steps per mm should be change to double times compared to its initial value.

I am sorry, but the subdivision table is not clear.

I want to use DRV8825, at 1/32 step. On the table, there are 3 values

MS1 MS2 MS3 Subdivision
ON OFF ON 1/32 step
OFF ON ON 1/32 step
ON ON ON 1/32 step

Which one is the correct one ?????
