1 Image Supporting 2 different Video Configurations

[Guest]

I'm currently running XPE on a 1U chassis with ATI Rage video PCI. We are
looking at supporting another product with same chassis but with a high-end
nVIDIA video card. Can I create one post FBA image that contains both video
components and the appropriate one will be used when booted? Or, will I need
to run FBA on both configurations and maintain 2 separate post FBA images?

Thanks,
Tim

Tim,

You shouldn't have any problems with supporting multiple video cards, sound
cards, items like that. PnP will do it's job at boot time and load the
appropriate drivers. Just make sure all the files for each card are
available in the appropriate directories.

HTH,

Brad,

Does FBA need to run for each configuration?

Hi Tim,

It shouldn't be necessary. Run FBA on one, shut down, swap in the new one,
set it up the way you like, reseal, shutdown.

HTH,
Brad

Tim,

I can confirm what Brad is saying.

I've done it. One system had an ATI graphic card, and an Intel NIC. The
other had an Intel graphic card and a Broadcom NIC. No problems at all.
