Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU Video Driver for Win NT-based systems

I double that. GDI and DirectDraw are different things.

Nearly all cards have for some years supported *both* GDI acceleration (from
Windows 3.1 days...) and DirectDraw acceleration (from Windows 95 days...).
Although they support both, they are different sets of code for different
purposes.
