[Spice-devel] Spice QXL Driver does not work for Windows 7

[Mario]

Alon,

first of all thanks a lot for your quick reply. Theoretical my Windows 
Instance should also load unsigned drivers as I enabled the Test Mode of 
Windows 7.

However to make it a bit more clear please let me describe step by step 
what I´ve done so far:

1st) I was looking for any old instance of qxl on my system:
- delete all qxldd.dll files in %SystemRoot% or deeper
- delete all qxl.sys files in %SystemRoot% or deeper
- delete all qxl installations in the DriverStore by executing "pnputil 
-d oem##.inf"
- remove the qxl service in the system registry
- reboot ;-)

2nd) Grab all the sources:
- mkdir c:\qxl # and cd into it
- git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/spice/win32/qxl
- git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/spice/spice-protocol
- mkdir qxl\include\spice
- xcopy spice-protocol\spice qxl\include\

3rd) Compile qxl:
- start free x86 Build Environment of WinDDK Verson 7600.16385.1 
(latest)
- set SPICE_COMMON_DIR=C:\qxl\qxl\include\spice
- cd c:\qxl\qxl
- build -cZg
Output:

BUILD: Finish time: Tue Jul 19 12:00:19 2011
BUILD: Done

     17 files compiled
     2 executables built

3rd) Create a driver package:
- mkdir driver
- xcopy miniport\objfre_win7_x86\i386\qxl.sys driver
- xcopy miniport\qxl.inf driver
- xcopy display\objfre_win7_x86\i386\qxldd.dll driver
- cd driver
- Makecert -r -pe -n "CN=CertForWDK" -ss "Cert" mccert.cer
- Inf2cat.exe /driver:c:\qxl\qxl\driver\ /os:7_x86
- signtool sign /a /v /s "Cert" /n "CertForWDK" qxl.cat
- signtool sign /a /v /s "Cert" /n "CertForWDK" qxl.sys
- signtool sign /a /v /s "Cert" /n "CertForWDK" qxldd.dll

4th) Switch on the Windows Test Mode:
- bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Now I installed the driver using the Windows Device Manager and did a 
reboot.

But as a result the driver still cannot start :(

The files are both present as they are listed in the Device Manager. 
And even if there is a message that the driver has not been signed the 
files in system32 and system32\drivers are signed (rightclicking the 
properties and 'Properties').

Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Mario
