inCTRL5 and a new driver

[Steve Worcester]

Long story short,
Trying to understand how to add a graphic card driver not resident in XPe.
Used my test machine an IBM T30 with Mobile Radeon. Ran inCTRL5, ran the
install for the new driver (just the driver, not the extra control panel and
ATI crap) and inCTRL reports
57 keys added
1282 values added
33 files changed

What do I read of this? Would it be easier to just import the .inf and go
that direction?

Hi Steve,

I you want to remove control panel and other things you mention. Then right
solution for you would be to modify inf file and leave out all parts that
are not related to driver/minidriver pair.

If I can remember correctly ATI separated their driver to few dll's so you
can leave out even opengl or some other irrelevant feature for your product.

When you determine minimum required sys/dll files (for NVIDIA only two
files), and create inf file.
Then only thing you need to do is to create component that will copy inf,
dll, sys files to their destination folder. And you can let PnP do the rest.

For most video drivers there is no need to modify registry.

Happy holidays.
