[Spice-devel] QXL on Windows 8

[Mario]

Alon,

I just took a look into the MS documentation about the WDDM DriverEntry 
code etc. It seems the pointer sturcture of a wddm driver has to 
implement a lot of functions to be a valid wddm driver. Unfortunately I 
found nither detailed documentation about wddm drivers (except the 
function reference on msdn) nor example code for a C or C++ wddm driver 
(maybe vesa to understand). I was woundering if you had a source to 
learn. Or is Windows 8 not that interesting for spice at present? -- 
please say 'no' ;-)

Thanks a lot!

/Mario
