Simple inf-question

NTDEV
1

Hi everyone,

Simple question. I would like to do a research at the functions of serial
mouse by using DDK´s Mouser samplecode. Problem: What INF-file I should use
to install this sample? I tried to generate my own by using InfGen but it
didn´t work.

Copy %windir%\inf\msmouse.inf, look for a section that matches against a hardware ID that serenum\Xxxx and use that.

Hi

Thanks for your answer, but… Could you explain little bit more detailed? I
have checked msmouse.inf once already. So should I modify msmouse.inf to my
uses? msmouse gives sermouse.sys for serial mouses so should I replace that
with mouser.sys (that didnt work)?

I connected to my system the serial mouse which I am going to use to the
test of Mouser.sys. Windows install normal serial mouse driver during next
startup. That driver gives Hardware ID “*PNP0F01”. From msmouse.inf I found
next rows according PNP0F01 :

[MSMfg]
%*pnp0f01.DeviceDesc%=Ser_Inst,*PNP0F01,SERENUM\PNP0F01 ; MS serial mouse

[LegacyXlate.DevId]
MICROSOFT_SERIAL_MOUSE = *PNP0F01 ; MS serial mouse
sermouse

; Device Names
*pnp0f01.DeviceDesc = “Microsoft Serial Mouse”

So what should I change to be able to install Mouser.sys and test it?

Filter drivers are better to be installed without INFs, by writing them to
the registry, it’s easier.

As about functional and bus drivers - take somebody else’s INF from Windows
itself (which surely works) and patch to you needs.

Hi,

Thanks, but I am still very newbie with drivers (few months). So could you
describe little bit more detailed about “writing to the registery” or do you
have any good links where to study more about it…

You must understand basics of PnP before writing inf file.

Thanks,

I will start studing with that one. I also solved my problem…I changed
earlier sources (sermouse to mouser) so Inf didnt work. Thanks for everyone
anyway!
