    Can't install driver for Matrox Cards

    Hello,
    I have problem with the unattended driver installation; here in the folder $OEM$\$1\Drivers\matrox i needed driver files for the Matrox graphics card i.e "dualg400.cat, DUALG400.inf, dualg550.cat, DUALG550.inf etc" & the folder is properly linked in the winnt.sif! Windows XP does NOT automatically recognize the device drivers unless, during the post install, I'm going to specify exactly which .inf file to use? I'm using windows XP .
    Thanks for any help!

    Re: Can't install driver for Matrox Cards

    Here you need to edit the setup.ini file from the unpacked Matrox driver installs.

    First unzipped the drivers into $OEM$\$1\Drivers\004_graphics\Matrox folder and edit the setup.ini file. If you go to the Matrox Forums and ask for the unattended install documents they will email it to you. The only other thing you need to check is that winnt.sif contains the path to the drivers. The device IDs are taken from the mtxparh.inf file. The syntax will be identical in the Gxx series drivers.

    For example I am using the Parhelia\P-Series card:

    Code:
    [SETUP]
    PackageName = Matrox Parhelia & Millennium P650/P750
    InstallPowerDeskVisible = false
    InstallPowerDesk = false
    .NETRequired = TRUE
    IniFormatVersion=2.0
    
    SILENT = YES
    REBOOT = NO
    DISPLAYMODE = 1280,1024,96
    RESET_USER_CONFIG_PDESK = YES
    RESET_USER_CONFIG_DRIVER = YES
    COPY_ALL_DRIVERS = YES
    
    [CO-INSTALL]
    POSTRUN = Setup.exe /COINSTALL
    
    [WIZARD]
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_0527-SUBSYS_0850102B = 2D
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_0527-SUBSYS_0840102B = 2D
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_0527-SUBSYS_0880102B = 2D
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_0528-SUBSYS_1020102B = 2D
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_0528-SUBSYS_1030102B = 2D
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_0528-SUBSYS_14E1102B = 2D
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_2537-SUBSYS_1820102B = 2D
    PCI\VEN_102B&DEV_2537-SUBSYS_1830102B = 2D
    
    [VHEAD]
    DUALPARH.inf
    
    [FAMILY]
    mtxparh.inf = Parhelia & Millennium P650/P750
    I have added the lines in the [SETUP] section that begin with REBOOT and [CO-INSTALL] and [WIZARD] sections.
