<DIV>The current Wddm driver is not fully functional yet, currently it can do GDI rendering only, neither D3D nor DDraw are properly supported yet, but one can install it in a generic way (via "Update Driver" for Video device in device manager) and have it working for GDI. It is currently using WDDM v1.0. <BR>It is not yet tested for x64. To make it work (GDI only) on x64 there needed some small adjustments in makefiles to make the driver package be correctly created for x64.<BR>As for D3D, the current plan is to have it use WineD3D in the first place, however despite the current approach used with XPDM, no system lib replacement (d3d9.dll & d3d8.dll) will be needed, instead VBox WDDM user-mode display driver will translate d3d runtime calls made to it to WineD3D accordingly.<BR>For now it is planned to support D3D9[Ex] & D3D8.<BR><BR>Mikhail<BR><BR>On 6/3/2010 10:47 PM, Roger Cruz wrote:

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>What is the current state of the WDDM driver in VBox? I'm trying to find the latest info and a developer's thread so any pointers would be very useful. In particular, I want to determine what version of WDDM it supports (v1.0 or v1.1), what its limitations may be (32 vs 64-bit, for example), which version of DirectX does it support, does it still require Wine3D3,etc. <BR><BR>I have downloaded the latest trunk under the Additions/WINNT/Graphics to examine the code and see a lot of stubbed routines.
