Problem in setting Display resolution from TD

Hi All,

I have a problem in setting display resolution from Target Designer. I am
using a dual boot system with C: partition for Windows XP Pro and D:
partition for windows XP embedded.
Intel® 82865G Graphic controller is installed on system. I have referred an
article from MSDN, How to set display resolution from Target Designer (TD).
In that they have mentioned to expand the node of video driver component,
select settings then Display Settings tab will appear in the Details pane.
I did the same for the above mentioned component from TD but I did not see
any Display setting tab. After booting the XPe image from Device Manager I
came to know that the default video driver is getting loaded instead of
Intel® 82865G.
What can be the problem? How can we set a display driver (custom in case
self designed) from Target Designer and how to set the resolutions? (Screen
Resolution, Color Quality, Refresh Rate)
(I have also tried with cmi settings )

Thanks & Regards
Roshan.
 
It appears that your video driver isn't working. Once you resolve your
driver issue, you will be able to change the settings at run-time aswell as
having your custom resolution set from TD.

When you have a functioning driver using the defaults, design a build with
custom settings that you wish to use by

right clicking on the component of your video driver
Click on 'Advanced'
click on where it show the resolution ie: 800x600 and click 'Edit'
enter in your custom resolution
save and build your config and test.

While you are testing your driver, you might want to make sure you include
some extra components to help you figure out whats going on. I suggest
"Windows Installer Service"
"Add Hardware Control Panel"
"Device Mananger"

If your video driver component doesn't work, try and run the driver install
prog at run-time and see if that works. If it does then you might need to
re-build your video driver component. Remember to remove the old one from
your database.
 
Sorry, made an error :

click on the component of your video driver
Click on 'Advanced' (ON THE RIGHT HAND PANE)
click on where it show the resolution ie: 800x600 and click 'Edit'
enter in your custom resolution
save and build your config and test.
 
Hello,
Thanks for your reply; I do not see the display resolution settings from TD
for my graphic controller component in advanced properties. Device manager in
XP Professional also does not show any error information for this display
driver so it means the driver is working fine in Windows XP Prof..
I tried to import the .inf file of this driver from component designer, but
in import process I got so many errors (mostly file not found. I have deleted
the original component from database first.)
I am trying to build a custom shell component where I won’t be including the
display control panel (explorer shell), or add hardware control panel. If
there is any information on how the display driver (default or custom made)
getting loaded in Windows XPe?

Regards
Roshan
 
This is just a quick reply. I haven't read through it all.

You'll need to use those components until you have all the bits your images
needs.
In your case, you (and everyone else) needs to have the video card working.
Your appears that it doesn't.

Once your images works 100%, then you can remove explorer and all the other
bits you don't need.

Not having those components will make trouble shooting almost impossible.

Save yourself some time by making sure you include the components that will
help you troubleshoot your problems. ie: Device Mananger, Add Remove
Hardware, and various other Control Panel Apps.
