[Display] (Unattend.txt, Sysprep.inf)

[Display]

Answer File = Unattend.txt and Sysprep.inf

The [Display] section contains entries for specifying display settings for graphics devices.

If the specified settings are not valid for the graphics device, Setup finds the closest match to the selected settings to configure the device.

Important

If the monitor plugged into the computer is a Plug and Play device and is capable of displaying a screen resolution of 800x600x16m, then the display resolution must be at least 800x600x16m. Setup uses the 640 x 480-pixel screen size only if the monitor is unable to display an 800 x 600-pixel screen.

Sysprep.exe configures the operating system to use the video settings in the [Display] section of Sysprep.inf. If there are no display settings or if Setup does not use Sysprep.inf, Sysprep.exe uses the video settings in the registry. If you configure the display settings manually, set them in Unattend.txt, or use the defaults, then Sysprep retains those settings. If you define the screen resolution in both the [Display] section of Sysprep.inf and in the [ComputerSettings] section of Winbom.ini, the operating system uses the settings in Sysprep.inf.

Entry	Description
BitsPerPel	Specifies the valid bits per pixel for the graphics device.
Vrefresh	Specifies a valid refresh rate for the graphics device.
Xresolution	Specifies a valid x resolution for the graphics device.
Yresolution	Specifies a valid y resolution for the graphics device.

Sample

This sample demonstrates one use of the [Display] section of Unattend.txt.

[Display]
BitsPerPel = 16
Vrefresh = 75
Xresolution = 1024
Yresolution = 768

BitsPerPel

Specifies the valid bits per pixel for the graphics device.

Syntax	BitsPerPel = valid_bits_per_pixel
Value	valid_bits_per_pixel
Example	For example, a value of 8 (2⁸) implies 256 colors, and a value of 16 implies 65,536 colors.
