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>

<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. Having some
other information to go on would help me understand how I can use VBox
effectively<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
