Hello All
This may or may Be a device driver related question. If not forgive my
ignorance in posing it here.
Our firm manufactures a product which contains a 1/4 sized VGA (x 320 y
240) Flat Plasma Panel Touch screen.
We are of Course running NT 4.0 SP 5 in this product.
We wish to cause NT to reposition its Logo and all Pop-up Dialog Boxes
From the Center of the normal Sized
VGA to the center of our Smaller Display as the never even show up on
our tiny screen.
I and others here have searched for registry settings which would have
this effect and came up empty.
Do we need to customize our video driver or are the some undiscovered
registry settings we can create to save some time.
Thanks in advance

On my machine with s3 video, the following key contains the screen sizes
data:
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\s3\Device0
DefaultSettings.YResolution REG_DWORD
DefaultSettings.YResolution REG_DWORD
Looks like this is a device-independent structure - replace "s3" with your
video driver name.

No, these are device depended values. They can be different for
different display drivers.

I think the best way is to write your own display driver. You'll be able
to tell NT, what resolutions your equipment supports with the help of
DrvGetModes() function. In the DDK you'll find samples, which will help
you to do it.
