Hi ms.
I assume that video adapter is integrated on your MB, right?
Each video adapter must have Vendor ID , Product ID and usually version ID.
In inf file you can choose what sys files will be assigned with which VID, PID, Product number. Best match will be always used.
I have no idea why do you need so obscure solution, as James said driver should be backward compatible.
Anyhow if files have same names you will have to choose which driver names you want to change, and you will have to reflect that
change in inf file as well. Since you will change file names you can use same repository.
So:
1. Modify one drivers filenames.
2. Change inf file.
3. Read thread: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&selm=ezmaWSwBEHA.1704%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl
But first ask your self if you really need to do this. And let us know exact reason why so someone else do not run into same
hardware problems.
Best regards,
Slobodan
