my gawd intel g35 needs to understand .....TO CALL URE SELF A HD MOTHERBOARD AT ALL GIVE ALL native resolutions of LCD HDTVS OUT THERE...

Back to XP (embedded)...
The problem is that the XP drivers won't work with blu-ray players, even if there is an HDCP compliant motherboard. I can run the same system under Vista with a G35 chipset and it works fine, but the player says it doesn't support protected content under XP. Please support XP embedded for this....

Thanks!

I don't think those IEGD drivers will work with Powerstrip per se, they just allow the construction of timings in a similar fashion to Powerstrip's Advanced Timings menu. You can so the same thing with a 3rd party application called DTDCalc (http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/Community/en-US/forums/thread/30244730.aspx) on the "normal" Intel drivers (14.25 and later), or hack the registry yourself (http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/Wiki/Graphics/239.htm).

I am trying to make an Intel chipset based laptop drive an external monitor that is basically PAL timing.
Works very well using other Gfx Cards and Powerstrip.

My question:

I have heard that there are a bunch of 'Development Drivers' for intel integrated gfx that will work with powerstrip (embedded PC drivers i believe) - do you know if this is true?

It's pretty simple for me to build an EDID circuit that will send monitor parameters to the PC's VGA socket.
IF i just added the weird PAL timings would the integrated graphics set up all the parameters (porch, vertical timing, horizontal blah blah etc) correctly?

thanks!

All the same pieces are there for Intel in XP except the content protection. Difficult for me to assess whether this was a Vista/hardware interaction or a strategic decision to focus resources on the new OS rather than the old.

Here here on the holy grail!
AND why isn't XP being supported for this? XP embedded is the perfect place to make this all work together, and yet, it can't be done with INTEL. Why not?

Need more updates!

Do you have anything new to add / remove from your post which was made in Sept 2007? Any changes? Improvements? Breakthroughs?

how do you tweak the registry on a computer?

I'm not sure if it will fix your denon highend receiver's EDID but the latest version of Powerstrip was able to write an EDID config to my optoma hd72i (to its eeprom) and i think it deserves to be mentioned even if its out of topic.
Should you try it, please post a clue on the result to other denon users.

Mr Burns: Couldn't agree more, I've been looking for this holy grail a long time too.
Most of us would want a silent Bluray HTPC doing all the goodies over HDMI.
I do not wish to buy any greywares from slysoft or others to play my well paid for bluraydisc collection. This should just work, smoothly.

I bet that if Intel makes this happen, and delivers the quality drivers we need, they will surprise the stockmarket with very high volume sales of small motherboards / chipsets in Q2.

Nice posts btw, enjoyed reading this blog.

Don't forget the open source community. I'd like to run an HTPC type setup (like XBMC) on a Linux box and the more robust the drivers are the better something like that would work.

I tried for fun on my latest Shuttle XPC and I did not have the patience to mess with proper driver setup, if it was even possible to begin with. Getting the drivers out there, getting people testing them and getting easier configuration tools will help tremendously.
