Newbie question wrt 3rd party device drivers

Hello.

I'm trying to install the Win XP embedded drivers for our platform - AMD
Geode MediaGX (GX1). The drivers in question are the Video and Sound drivers.

All i have at hand are some INF, SYS and DLLs. I've been poking around in
the help file for the XPE development studio, but i can't figure out where to
start.

I assume i have to create a new component in the component designer, but i'm
not grasping how i'm supposed to "tell" the target designer that this is the
video (or audio) device drivers.

if anyone have a good idea where i should start looking, i'd be very thankful

Popoi,

This is pretty basic stuff. Please read through this tip page:

I haven't yet worked with the Geode chipset, but I know that some driver is
available in http://www.xpefiles.com , search also in this group for
experiences inserting keyword geode

Popoi I have some drivers for Geode. Can you tell me what drivers are
missing when u pull in ur .PMQ file so i can see if i have that driver
componentized for you. Oh and by the way good luck the Geose chipset is a
nightmare with XPe from my experience.

Popoi,

Nothing comes up until you walk on the roads.You need to get up with
the manuals and links like whatever KM provided ..
