We followed the instructions at http://spice-space.org/page/WinQXL
The only part where we stumbled was signing the drivers. Here are our internal notes on what we did to make that work. There is probably an easier way but I am pretty Windows ignorant: Download and install the WinQual toolkit: https://winqual.microsoft.com/member/SubmissionWizard/controls/WinqualSubmissionTool.msi This is to obtain Inf2Cat.exe Download and install the MS SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=6b6c21d2-2006-4afa-9702-529fa782d63b This is for Makecert.exe and signtool.exe Go to the SDK Bin directory and run: Makecert -r -pe -n "CN=TestCertForQXL" -ss "QXLTestCert" C:\qxldriver\qxlcert.cer Go to the WinQual directory and run: Inf2cat.exe /driver:C:\qxldriver\ /os:7_X64 Return to the SDK Bin directory and run: signtool sign /a /v /s "QXLTestCert" /n "TestCertForQXL" c:\qxldriver\qxl.cat signtool sign /a /v /s "QXLTestCert" /n "TestCertForQXL" c:\qxldriver\qxl.sys signtool sign /a /v /s "QXLTestCert" /n "TestCertForQXL" c:\qxldriver\qxldd.dll bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON Go to the Device Manager, choose the QXL Video Driver and update it pointing specifically to the new, signed driver. This assumes we are updating. I suppose we would simply install the driver when prompted for new hardware if this was the first attempt. It appears we can simply copy the driver directory to W2K8 and install the same way. _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
