Setting up Display resolution

[StefanoF]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Display resolution to 1024x768 32bit during unattended WinXp installation, but at the end I always get a 800x600.

When Installed, I can change manually resolution to desired 1024x768.

How can I do that during unattended installation.

Should I use cmdline.txt and how?

Thanks for your time.

add

[Display]    Xresolution=1024

    YResolution=768

to your winnt.sif. You can also add

Vrefresh=85

or something to change the display's refresh rate.

clicke here for more details about what you can do with winnt.sif

What is your motherboard and video card?

[StefanoF]

It is a Gigabyte GA-8SIMLH with integrated video graphic card (chipset SiS651)

Please consider that once installation is completed non driver have to be installed or reboot have to be done to change resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768.

Thank for your time

Stefano

I would suggest the best way to do this is to get the latest SiS graphics driver from Gigabyte and extract the files to your $oem$\Drivers\graphics directory and provide the OEMInstallPath in winnt.sif to the drivers. The resolution won't change unless the correct graphics drivers are installed and this is the method to use.
