[ros-dev] ReactOS August and September Meeting Minutes

[Alex Ionescu]

(And FYI, the level of change that it would take to support WDDM drivers
would be so massive that it completely overshadows the argument of targeting
a fixed kernel version or not).

I have yet to see standard WDM video card drivers work in the first place (I
mean ATI or NVidia).

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
