does anyone know how NT detect it's videocard/adapter? I know the networkcard is detected using deviceID and Vendor ID, so I editted the inf files and now my NICs are detected.
I know the modem is detected using AT strings and responses, so I can have NT detect my modem.
But how can I do this for a fairly new AGP card? I can install it from the unattend.txt file, no problem, specify the inf and infoption, no prob, but if I can have NT detect this my unattend will be fully hardware independent for my 4 macine types.
Sorry Bill, for networkcards and modems NT is plug-and-play if you enter your modems and NICs so NT can recognise them. That works for me, however I haven't figured it out for video adapters.
Thanks anyway, NT is not plug-and=pray but you can get it close.
I do not know the details of the device query, but I do know what needs to be done, if you haven't already. NT out-of-the-box is usually SP1. You need to perform and unattended setup using the HAL.dll from SP3 that contains the info for AGP devices.On Technet get article Q178275, this will describe the procedure in detail...Let me know...
I have updated my HAL to the SP3 version, but I want to know is how NT detects these cards, then I can add my own cards like the network cards and modems.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
