From what I get VxD drivers try to get hold of your pci bus and a ton of other stuff . Could this be the start to a fix down the road when it comes to .vxd support ? Will this help when it comes to a Wine Kernel Module ?
Well, it is a bit useless to wine as it is basicly doing the same as wine (loading a kernel with its own memory managment and everything in Linux without PC virtualization), and the idea of a wine kernel module is still insane imho, I mean there wouldn't be any real advantagem, unless you go the way ReactOS took.
A Wineserver Kernel mod could still have a few pluses as you could reduce overhead of threading and context switching. I'm still no big fan of Wineserver but moving parts of it to a kernel module would be nice.
