If implementing windows 8 implementing the DDIs necessary to have remote desktop driver is not enough to run it on windows. Is this windows' way to limit remote desktop server implementation so that it is harder to compete with RDP. There is a Remote Desktop Protocol Driver. However VNC SERVER still supports windows 8(for that it just does GDI stuff on user level to get the image update). UPDATE : (on wdk 7.1) I found these examples.Ĥ) I looked at Utlra VNC server source and It looks like they only have drivers up to Windows 7. Only subset of DDI as a remote display driver.ĭoes that mean I need to implement Remote Display Driver for windows 8?Ģ)Starting of with mirror driver and only adding the DDI specified here enough to have Remote Display Driver run on windows 8 (Will it install no windows 8)? It says that remote display driver is a subset of mirror driver.ģ) Are there any any any examples? It looks like the mirror driver example is no where to be found ? Something like UltraVNC(in house protocol).įirst of I see that mirror drivers are not supported on windows 8. So our we even can't check if this rebuilt helps.I am working on a driver for a remote desktop server. Previously it was built with 'build -c' from the directory where the DameWare source code resides in 2008.īut even if Driver Signature Verification is disabled our new driver has error code 52 - 'Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device'. Templates - Empty DLL for drivers, Kernel Mode driver, Empty (KMDF) (WDK 3.0) Platform Toolset - WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0 Seems that our Mirror driver isn’t used / ignored (but there is no error message). I’m asking because our clients have faced with slow performance during remote connection for Windows 10 (using DameWare Mini Remote Control application). Mirror drivers described in this section will install and run only on earlier versions of Windows.”ĭoes it mean that our DameWare Mirror driver can’t be used starting with Windows 8? “Starting with Windows 8, mirror drivers will not install on the system.
