Thanks for your response. I successfully built the qxl driver with the
older WDK (7600.16385.1). It seems that the newer one replaces build.exe
with msbuild.exe. We'll have to figure this out to properly support
building with the newer WDK for the Windows 8 driver. I'll look into this.

The qxl driver doesn't seem 100% stable. Exercising Direct2D with one of
the samples from Microsoft caused a blue screen. But it works well
enough and I suppose it's probably best to put efforts in to the WDDM
driver.

I followed the directions for signing, but Windows still says the driver
isn't signed. It loads, so that's all I really care about at this point.
Or maybe it just complains because it's self-signed rather than signed
by a recognized CA.

Thanks again for your help.
