Starting the Device of the Video Miniport Driver

The PnP manager sends an IRP code (see IRP Major Function Codes) to the video port driver requesting that the graphics adapter be started. The video port driver's dispatch routine calls the miniport driver's HwVidFindAdapter routine in response to this IRP code. Details for some of HwVidFindAdapter's tasks are discussed in the following topics:

Setting up Video Adapter Access Ranges

Setting Hardware Information in the Registry

Changing State on the Adapter
