ATI ES1000 driver

[Rich Noonan]

I am having much difficulty getting this ATI ES1000 driver working
under XPe. Please share with me any suggestions for things to try.
Here's the summary for what I've done.

I first created a component as I've done many times before. I had to
edit out some 64bit related parts of the INF based on a recommendation
uncovered in this NG, but otherwise imported INF fine. All files and
registry entries are in the component. But it doesn't work in my XPe
image. The display comes up configured as Video Controller (VGA
Compatible) and I am unable to update the driver. The error from the
new hardware wizard (I select everything manual) is: An error occurred
during the installation of the device\n The system cannot find the
file specified.

Running the driver installer under XPe both in my config (which is
fairly complete) and under XP Pro Emulation SP2+FP2007 from KM results
in this error: INF error. Video driver not found. Followed by: Try to
setup your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running
setup.

So, finally I loaded XP Pro. It came up with, among other things, no
VGA configured. The difference however is that under XPe the device
appears under Display Adapters as a generic Video Controller. Under
XP Pro the same device appears under Other Devices. From XP Pro I can
successfully run the driver installer and the device gets fully
configured with the ATI ES1000 driver.

My best guess at this time is that the generic VGA driver which is
binding to this device under XPe is preventing the real driver from
installing properly. Does this make sense? If so, any suggestions
for how to get rid of the generic driver? I can't find it in any
component.

Any other thoughts for how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks-
Rich

Have you reviewed the output in setupapi.log to possibly get more verbose
messages as to what the problem might be?

Refer to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/setupapilog.mspx,
especially the section on adjusting the log level.

Regards,

Stuart

Hi Rich,

I use the following scenario:

1. first boot with Standard VGA adapter.
2. Copy files from ATi driver to appropriate places.
3. Reboot.

It works. You may also try to check if your component copies all files
in my list properly.

Many thanks to you and Stuart. I am making progress now. Somehow I
had made it this far with XPe never knowing about setupapi.log which
is critical to understanding how things are getting installed by PnP.

I was starting from the wrong INF file and some files were getting to
the wrong directories. I'm still tweaking my component (many parts
here will use this board), but finally moving forward.

Thanks-
Rich
