Win10PXE - How get custom screen resolution - ?

You can try to trim down the nvidia driver by commenting the files inside the inf.

This one work with my GTX 1060 https://mega.nz/#!xuJQyIrY!SwEKyyxkl4Y88pUsK8GC-Z1Barl5wUnOWvxyjX0XfcE

But if you mod the inf file you also will need to patch drvinst.exe.

Thanks JFX, I got the two files, but I don't have any idea how to adjust "nv_dispi.inf " to be working wit a GTX 970. The *inf is large. I am no familiar with scripts on inf installs.
Can you elaborate a bit more in order to try it ?

This looks rather interesting to me, and I wonder whether you might be able to address a few questions:

1) In Windows 7 there already was an trimmed down nvidia driver integrated, so I knew at least the core files necessary.
   removing 32 bit dll files from a x64 driver package should be no problem.
   Also Cuda and control panel files can be removed. The rest is a bit trail and error.

2) Not only the actual driver (*.sys) file needs a digital signature, but also an driver inf file needs a signed catalog file.
   The patch ignores the validation of the *.cat so we can edit nv_dispi.inf.

3) Winpe based on Windows 7 an older ignored the check,  it's a new feature of Windows 8 and 10.


@Mikmouse
Just look at the original inf and my one with a diff tool like windiff or winmerge.
It's really just adding a ";" before a line that mentions a file we want to get rid of.

Does DrvInstPatch should be operational also for RS6 ?

19h1(18323) is still same as rs5.

Before the generic patcher(), there is a way to patch the file in 1 minute for normal people who don't know any program skill for every windows version.
The result of 19h1 is same as JFX's patched position(the modification is bit different).

for now, Patch_drvinst\main.bat is in an ugly way for each version(define the found patch codes).

@JFX
Is there a DrvInstPatch.exe x64 binary release?
With DrvInstPatch.exe, the Patch_drvinst will be very simple.

Code: [Select]

rem use JFX's generic patcher
rem http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2726.msg31375#msg31375
DrvInstPatch.exe p "%X_SYS%\drvinst.exe"
goto :EOF

Sure, the more people try these generic patcher, the better they will become.

Thanks also for the UX Patcher, I suppose, generic as well 

Or even in automatic, without any option, I guess it's good feature for everyone,

Ok, probably not, I'll keep Set Max resolution as an option
Tested on another monitor (default 1920*1080), with Set Max resolution and without driver, I have a display of 1280*720 rather distorted

You can try to trim down the nvidia driver by commenting the files inside the inf.
This one work with my GTX 1060

I couldn't test it, my laptop doesn't use the same driver inf file from Nvidia 417.71
But by comparing your changes, you allowed me to reproduce your reduction on nvaci.inf (same files + nvpciflt.sys) 

It works with my Acer GTX 950M,  nvaci.inf_417.71_amd64 .7z (24.2 Mb)
It should be possible to save time vs dism /add-driver, by importing nvaci.inf_Tmp_Drivers.reg.txt registry + 
copy nvaci.inf_amd64_1392a7b8258b048d folder in \DriverStore\FileRepository and also nvaci.inf in \Windows\INF

Yes, UX Patcher should also work with future versions.

It's indeed a bit slow installing the driver. (here almost 20 seconds.)

Thanks for UX Patcher, it is implemented now in a XPEPlugin here Custom Theme

hi JFX
Thanks for UX Patcher 

@ ChrisR
thanks for Custom Theme plugin 
now i can try the other one )

I made a tool: InfTrim, so you can modify your driver inf files with ease.

example: InfTrim "nv_trim.txt" "nv_dispi.inf"

Great
I just added "HKR,,CoInstallers32" to nv_trim.txt

I had done + or - manually (Macro Excel, manual) for.
nv_dispi.inf  - 1st Checks Before Manufacturer Driver , nvaci.inf - Acer, Gateway , nvami.inf - Asus , nvdmi.inf - Dell , nvbli.inf - HP Business Market , nvhmi.inf - HP Non Business Market , nvlti.inf - Lenovo
Not in the same time  if I had known...

Here are the reg files for 418.81, the driverStore  folder name must match. My XPEPlugin writing is almost finished
 nvidia-418.81-win10-64bit_Reg.7z (6.95 kB - downloaded 43 times.)

Thanks

I published an XPEPlugin here Nvidia GeForce Plugin
Thanks JFX for the complete set DrvInstPatch, InfTrim and for a so big reduction! 

Few notes on size:
~81 Mb in Target Folder for each driver
~34 Mb in boot.wim (XPress compression) regardless drivers number (duplicate once)
~26 Mb in RAM for 1 driver and 148 Mb for 7 drivers= ~21 Mb (running in VM) !

Sure, the more people try these generic patcher, the better they will become.

Thanks JFX,

I feel this generic patcher valid from Win7 (or less ? ) to Win10
or maybe only generic patcher for Win10
?

@ChrisR
Thanks for the plugin and "HKR,,CoInstallers32" 
I found out the reason for my slow install, it's line "CopyINF = nvppc.inf".
After removing it install is done in 5 seconds 

@Lancelot
UXPatcher is generic patcher for all version: XP to Win10 (x86/x64/arm64).
Same for DrvInstPatch, but i have not yet tried it with Win 7 and 8 versions.

Thanks for very good news. 

I have some troubles related to uxpatcher or not, I will inform here if related ......

I have not started to study your 417.71.7z DrvInstPatch InfTrim yet, only following your posts :

I guess InfTrim.exe to be used to trim inf files at \Display.Driver\, and you just wrote

I found out the reason for my slow install, it's line "CopyINF = nvppc.inf".
After removing it install is done in 5 seconds 

Is it possible to update InfTrim.exe
 or
 InfTrim.exe do a main trim, we have a manual check later to find things like "CopyINF = nvppc.inf".
?

+
an updated 417.71.7z will be nice with your latest fix. 

No need to update the tool, just add the line to the nvtrim.txt.

Thanks

I am slowly coming to that chapter...
