Hi All,

I have frame buffer driver works fine for WinXP. I test it under Vista
Beat 2 build 5384 and it won't work (error code 43). Does Vista
support frame buffer driver? I couldn't find frame buffer driver sample
code in WDK build 5384. Does that mean no frame buffer driver support
under Vista?

I'm not sure what a `framebuffer driver` exactly describes, but,
Vista does support the `XPDM` style display drivers.
In fact, you can force-load the old VGA driver even
on a machine with a WDDM video card.

I know Vista support XPDM display driver. Therefor I assume my frame
buffer driver should work under Vista. Any ideal what should I change
either in code or INF file so that Vista will like it?

Thanks!

I would start from inspecting the SetupAPI log.
Then I would check the "CurrentControlSet\Control\Video" registry key.
Maybe the keys over there are secured for the TrustedInstaller Service SID,
and, there are permission conflicts.
Third, I would debug ChangeDisplaySetting in win32k.sys,
or, before that win32k!InitVideo.
Good Luck. Video Drivers from major vendors are known to work.
