tracking bug.
releng is repurposing 20 w7 machines into XP machines. they're running into display issues where video defaults from the nvidia card to the onboard card which has a max resolution of 1280x1024. 1)during POST, the host display output is the Nvida card. 2)once the OS starts booting, it switches over to the onboard card. i have to change my monitor input from dvi to vga 3)im assuming Nvidia xp drivers are installed as right clicking the desktop shows me a Nvidia option. nothing happens when choosing this option though. 4)under desktop properties, i can select the Nvidia card and it has the range of resolution - 800x600 all the way to 1900x1200. the onboard's max resolution is 1280x1024 5)selecting the Nvidia card and choosing 1600x1200 resolution does nothing.
