installing drivers

[jh]

Hello,
	How are video card drivers installed in ros. Do we just drop the dll's in \system32
and any sys files in \drivers.

I have down loaded the nt4 drivers for a S3virge DX card that I have, what do I do with
them?

This is the list:
Blocking.cfg  -  S3switch.dll  -  S3virge.dll  -  S3mini.sys  -  S3virge.inf

I also down loaded a little prog that finds the S3 chip used. This prog works in part in
ros, it reports that you need admin privileges without displaying any data.

Regards
jh

You have to find out which key under HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet 
belongs to yout card's driver and clone that to ROS.

Thanks for the reply.
You have lost me there, I will have to wait until there is a driver installer in ros.
Thanks,
jh

        Hi jh,
I'm working on a setupapi stuff now, and you will be able to install these
drivers relatively easy then, so please be patient for about a week and, if
you have time and will, I'd like to test this stuff with you.


With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.

Dont expect too much. Once we get easy driver installation going.
Without a working Plug and Play manager your not going to get much to
work other than a video card or two. I am seeing this problem on a few
systems where devices I am testing are conflecting with other hardware
under ReactOS and Windows Magic fixes it.

Thanks
Steven

There are a couple of people working on it.  Big job, though.
