Hi. I have a need to set up SoftICE's video adapter setting manually. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I had posted [Softice peculiarities] earlier, and have narrowed down my problem some. It is the display adapter setup screen that sends my computer into an endless loop. I installed Softice on another computer, then manualy copied the files and reg setting over to get it installed on my computer. But when I try to open the Display Adapter Setup prog, ....loop. I have used SoftICE with this adapter [Chips & Technologies 65554 PCI] before though, the only thing that has really changed since then, is a new hard drive. For some reason though, this has disabled PCI IRQ steering. This might be the problem...

Anyway, that's why I need to try to configure the adapter manualy, and I cannot seem to find an docs on this subject.

Thanks,

Eric

Softice stores its video config in the system.ini, at least for win 9x.

[Siwvid]
VideoManufacturer=Standard VGA
VideoBoard=Standard Display Adapter (VGA)
MouseType=0
VidType=0
Mono=0
Ddraw=1

DDraw is the universal driver flag, the rest is self explanatory.
Check $SOFTICE/setup/VSetup.ini for a list of valid identifiers for VidType. I imagine the textual descriptions are for cosmetic purposes only.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that is just what I was looking for!
