I know this topic has been discussed here before...

I need to support different ATI Video cards.
During the FBA everything installs fine. I have no problem with
resolution or font size.
But changing the video card screws up everything.
I can't have different builds for different video cards.
Will the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx work for me?

Also I've read in one of the threads that Slobodan posted inf for
supporting multiple nVidia video cards without multple Components. I
would like to see an example of that.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Actually inf file that I have posted long time ago was an example how to make lite driver that do not have dependencies on services
and other high level stuff.
You can just satisfy all dependencies and copy all driver files to their folders and let FBA PnP do the installation process on its
own.

To support all video adapters just extract files from latest catalyst package and make component that will copy them from flat
repository folder to their correct folders in XPe image.


Please read trough following complete thread it will shed some light to this process:

Also if you have problems please examine setupapi.log and attach it here so we might help you.

Slobodan

Slobodan,

I saw your search string in Google :-)

Do you like new Google Beta search UI? I don't :-(

I can't believe that they make it so ugly :-( I just hope that they will do something about this or revert to old short link
convention.

Slobodan,

You can actually make it shorter (the link) and remove the search from the link.

E.g., your link
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded/browse_thread/thread/18f886794b5ed5ff#37830897129cd1e3

or, as a tree,
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded/browse_frm/thread/18f886794b5ed5ff/a6b590cb38cbd984?tvc=1&scrollSave=&&d#a6b590cb38cbd984

But all this requires many more clicks and the default UI is unbelievably worse than old one. One of the major advantages of Google
has always bee a simplicity of their UI. Seems like they are losing it :-(
