On a side note, failing to get a device means that the d3dx tests are always skipped on the testbot?
The ones that need a device, yes. The testbot machines are all VMs, so they don't have real display hardware. For a realistic setup with real hardware we'd probably need at least 2 different Windows versions (e.g Win 7 and XP), and at least the current and the previous generation of both AMD and NVIDIA display hardware. We could probably manage the hardware costs for that, but I imagine that the setup and admin overhead would be significant compared to the VMs.
you can usually find someone on irc (like me) with a windows setup where you can test these patches, until there is some proper testing platform.
