SETUP UTILITY REVISION HISTORY **************************************************************************** r1.07 12/01/2005 - The report descriptor is no longer hard coded in the driver, it's only read from the registry. It's put in the registry by the inf file. - Only the keyboard collection is in the report descriptor, all other collections have been removed. WHQL was failing because there was a consumer control in the report decriptor. Richard thinks that the MS class driver possibly opens the consumer collection causing WHQL to fail. - The mapping table was modified to use a keyboard mapping for Media Player. - The carrier bit is now set by defailt for RC6. r1.06 11/22/2005 Added RemoteName to the registry. This identifies the remote. It gets copied from setup.opt. r1.05 10/05/2005 Added support for the Acer ZB1 remote. r1.04 10/05/2005 Bug fix. Load a report descriptor from setup.opt when the driver isn't installed and an error message is displayed. r1.03 12/16/2004 Initial version. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Download Driver Pack
