First post updated.
New 8.01 DriverPacks for all!
Let the testing begin!

Yup, the G_B 801 DP is up in the nightlies section.

The caveat is that these 'unadulterated' drivers contain MANY duplicated HWIDs and Windows may choke on the redundancies.

Let us know if this works for ya!

Are you talking about adding the download links to the DPBase?  I brought that idea up a while ago.
Good idea! 
@Jeff,  Any chance of adding that functionality to the update-checker portion of the Base?  It already parses the .php file right?  Why not add the links for newer DriverPacks at the same time?

Of course, if you're refering to your MSFN post here...Bâshrat the Sneaky would NEVER agree to that.

I'm not sure what you're requesting.
If you have a monitor that reports unacceptable resolution/refresh settings as "acceptable", then you have a broken monitor.

You can specify a lower setting in your unattended WINNT.SIF file (example):

[Display]
Xresolution=1024
Yresolution=768
BitsPerPel=32

Windows will use that resolution regardless of what the drivers are saying.

I'll see what I can do.

I'm fairly sure the fault is on my end.  I've stopped development work on my desktop because the current XP install is hosed (root problem).  I'm building a new unattended XP disk on my laptop but it's going slow (holidays and all).

That's it!  I'm getting my gun!

No problem.  Thanks for the 'Thanks'.
Both of your HWIDs will be supported in the G_A 7.12 dp if I can get it out the door before the new year.  Otherwise it'll be 8.01 dp if it takes too long.

"ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series" = ati2mtag_RV370, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5B60
"ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series Secondary" = ati2mtag_RV370, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5B70

Merry Christmas everyone!

With respect to the addon, I believe you need to integrate it AFTER SP3 has already been integrated.  The addon entries file has a check for SP3 or the integration will fail.  You can't integrate this addon with SP3 at the same time.  Also, this addon was built for use with the RVMIntegrator, but should work with nLite too.
All it does is replace files in the source with the files from kb888111.  There's no .exe to run or svcpack interaction.
From what I understand, M$ will probably update kb888111 or (my hope) include the patch/functionality into sp3 once public feedback is analyzed (there WILL be feedback on this).

On a side-note, Bâshrat the Sneaky hasn't abandoned this project, he's just very, very busy.
Overflow (Jeff), just like myself and others here, have been entrusted with the management of the project in his absence.  We do our best, but we are all volunteers and use our own personal time for these efforts.
Give us a break, OK?

The other thing that doesn't help is how M$ updates their KB hotfixes.

KB888111 (1.0 released in 2004)
KB835221 (supersedes KB888111, released 2005)
KB888111 (updated to 1.0a, supersedes KB835221 & KB888111 1.0, released Nov 2006)

So when refering to kb888111...which version are we using?  Damn you M$!!!

If M$ doesn't incorporate the HDA fixes into SP3 RC2, I'm going to shoot someone!

The ATI folders can get some work done on them.  I'll have to look into the .cat files to see if the .infs are signed.  If they're signed, there's not much we can do with the folder containing the drivers (i.e. \B34585\,  The others can get worked.  I'll look into it when I'm building the next G_A dp for the ATI 7.12 drivers and nVidia updates in the next week or so.
If I remake the G_A dp, the G_B and G_C will need path/.ini updates as well.  No problem!

10 more shopping-days before Christmas!
Happy holidays everyone!
