DirectX

Dorp last sync with wine and userhook Before we can sync with wine we need to rewrite the enum and reg of device so it working fine in reactos and windows.

Add svn rev 15043 + only userhooks for the mouse at last the mouse are working in tribles windows mode but in full screen it is bit chopy. Not tested tribles in reactos with the new code.
