Re: Dynamically changing the WinCE Screen resolution

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There is a standard way to know what type of monitor is attached. The VGA and DVI interfaces both have an I2C interface that allows the video controller to query the monitors capabilities and identification (EDID values). Most XP video drivers are written to support this. Most CE drivers are probably not. If your board has the I2C lines from the VGA connector wired to the video controller and you have the source code and register definitions, you could make it work.

There is no standard way to detect the display type. Quite the contrary
the most of drivers require the display type and mode to be passed
by you through the registry or through the boot args (eg. stnadard VGA Flat).

The ddi_au1200lcd.reg file contains this code. I think I have to modify the "Width" and "Height" parameters before runtime.
IS there any way can know what type of a diplay monitor is attached and modify the registry?
Or I have to write an application where at runtime it can be manually modified the resolution of the LCD Display.
Thanks for your help
