No, you should have in the INF file something like:
NTamd64.6.0 under the [Manufacturer] subection of the INF file, as well 
as a subsection called '[NTamd64.6.0]'

You could also look at the qxl.cat file, perhaps it's not signed 
correctly? Should be according to this table:

  * 2.5.0 = Windows 2000
  * 2:5.1 = Windows XP
  * 2:5.2 = Windows Server 2003
  * 2:6.0 = Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
  * 2:6.1 = Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 x64


HTH,
Y.
