Hello, Geza!
GS> Can anybody tell me what i need to modify in the Mirror Driver
GS> sample to appears as a stand-alone display driver?
I see no problem converting mirror driver to virtual video device.
You have to
--Remove all evidence of its mirror heritage:
-- "MirrorDriver" registry value from Inf (and from registry),
-- GCAPS_LAYERED flag from DEVINFO::flGraphicsCaps;
-- Add the functionality required for a usual video driver to the
miniport, including support for video mode information;
-- Add DrvGetModes to display module.
It is also a good idea to add a basic support for DirectDraw.
Of course, to be functional, your driver have to implement some sort
of rendering for required DDIs. And a reliable mechanism
of communication to the program that mediates the screen image
to its real consumers.
For example, you may share the screen surface memory with
a client application/service and provide some messaging
to tell the application that there is a change on the screen.
