Dxgkrnel.sys debugging

Does anyone know how to enable debug output from dxgkrnl? DDK has either
wrong or outdated information.

ed dxgkrnl!gVidMmDebugLevel 2 command doesn’t work. Symbol is
unresolved. I have already replaced dxgkrnl with checked binary.

thanks

Hi

I had the same problem . How did you replace the dxgkrnl with the check version ?
Did you installed the whole vista check version ?
I download Vista checked version but didn’t find the .sys files .
Something I missed?

Installed checked build on a seperate machine. Then copied the dxgkrnl, dxg, videoprt etc…
I can’t get any output from dxgkrnl though.

I don’t know anything about dxgkrnl, but three points:

  1. Have you tried searching for a symbol with “debug” or “level” in the
    image?

x dxgkrnl!*debug*
x dxgkrnl!*level*
x dxgkrnl!*dbg*

etc? You might alway want to looking for “print” or “out” as those might
lead to you a DbgPrint wrapper routine which you can inspect to find the
global.

  1. The drivers might have been switched to WPP tracing on Vista. If this is
    the case, you don’t have the necessary TMF files to interpret the messages,
    which means that you have no way of getting the debug output. Possibly
    opening a support incident with MS will get them to fork over the necessary
    files, though I have no idea (I’ve never heard of someone trying).

  2. Did you enable DbgPrint output on Vista? Seems like you haven’t gotten
    far enough for this to even be an issue, but thought I’d toss it in.

I have done all these things already. It seems like they had some level
of debug output in the past and it was deprecated. I doubt they’ll fork
over the .tmf files.
