Display size problem

[Guest]

Here’s hoping that the additional information below may allow Slobodin or
someone else to come to my aid. I am very frustrated as each ‘cycle’ of
building/testing an OS build takes about 55 minutes on my slow PC.

My problem is that when I boot up XP Embedded it comes up in a 640x480 mode
and it can’t be changed/increased. Here are a bunch of tidbits I’ve observed
from a) the build process, b) Display Properties c) Device manager, any of
which may provide some key:

First, during the build process, when I imported my Pmq file, amonst other
messages I get
Could not find a driver for Intel® Graphics Chipset (KCH) Driver
(DISPLAY\In-KC-8XX-CHIPSETS)
And
Could not find a driver for Intel® Graphics Platform (SoftBIOS) Driver
(DISPLAY\In-SB-8XX-CHIPSETS)

I have done nothing to resolve these (and don’t know if they need to be)

I used to get:
Could not find a driver for Intel® Extereme Graphics Controller, but this I
resolved by downloading the 82845 G/GL/PE/GV Graphics Controller driver and
added the component. The driver is working fine on my regular XP partition.

I have a) Default Monitor, b) Plug and Play Monitor and c) Dell 782P
components (My monitor is the 782P).

While the build is going on, I see it add components VGA Save and VGA Boot
(neither of which are in my list of components - I don’t know what causes
these to get built).

After XP Embedded bootup, in the Display Properties dialog, my resolution is
640x480, color quality medium 16-bit, neither of these changeable. I click
on the Advanced button and the Default Monitor and Properties Dialog appears.
In this dialog under the Adapter tab for Adapter Information it has
<Unavailable> next to all of the fields. Hmmm doesn’t seem to know my
adapter. If I click on the Properties button I get a General Tab that has
VGA Save … device working properly. If I click on the driver tab it has
vga.sys

If I move to the monitor tab it has Monitor Type = Default Monitor, with the
properties button dimmed, so I can’t attempt to change it to plug and play or
Dell.

In the Device manager, I don’t see any entries for Monitor. The Display
Adapter appear fine, set to Intel 82845 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller.
In the list of drivers, it has several, although agp440.sys is not one of
these (although the driver is in windows\system32\drivers on my partition).

There are two unknown devices listed, both of which if I select have a
location of: Intel ® 82845 …, and drivers not installed. I have no idea what
‘type’ of devices these may be referring to.

I know this is a lot of information, but again, I’m hoping that someone
might spot something I am doing wrong, a component I need to add, etc.
Thanks for any help.

I remember having to download a semi-generic driver directly from Intel
and importing it's INF files into the system by using Component
Designer. You will then need to add all of the source files to a
repository. Are you familiar with creating custom components and
repositories?

Yes, I have added custom components - had to do one for the intel 82845
graphics conroller. What semi generic driver do you think I am missing?

Intel's downloadable drivers are sometimes a little more chipset
inclusive. See the 865G driver download at:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scr...ctID=1044&OSFullName=Windows*+XP+Professional
and view the readme for supported chipsets. It includes support for the
845G chipset as well as most of the 865G chipsets as well.
I had to do this when my motherboard manufacturer outdated the old
motherboard and the new one came with the new on-board video chipset.

Hi,

In setupapi.log you will see all drivers that failed to install or load. (Including hardware ids)

But error you have is that you did not componentized your video adapter driver and because of that import of PMQ failed.
You will need to create custom components for chipset and video, etc, and then to import them in CDBM.

After that create new project in TD. And it should work.
