Could This Make AERO Work?

[Guest]

ok, my 915GM intel graphics chipset isn't currently supported for vista, it
has the capability but INTEL hasn't got around to WDDM driver yet. Anyway to
my point. Could software be created that could interpret whatever the WDDM
driver does into normal drivers, or at least trick the OS into thinking it is
supported and enabling AERO? I am suprised that Microsoft didn't make a
service, or program to emulate a good graphics card to process the video.
Just a thought, but... would this be possible, or would it work?
thanks

Only the 945 Express Chipset is supported for AERO Glass right now. As for
creating software to make that possible, maybe but it would require a whole
lot of time and effort and results could possibly cause side effects such as
system instability and failure.

Yes you could do that. It's called writing your own driver. If you have
the time and the knowledge of Vista and the Intel 915GM graphics chipset and
some experiance writing drivers, it would be a snap.
