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.
