Hey,

Im looking for someone who can help me with some DWM stuff. I need to know more about DWM and what files belong to it. After that I want to find a way to replace these files in Windows 8 RTM with the files of the Consumer Preview.

I?ve got a Tablet with the Z670 / GMA 600. And ever since the Release Preview, there are a couple of performance issues related to the DWM. How do I know that?

For example inking isn?t smooth at all. I use a Q550 with a Digitizer and with the CP inking was a lot smoother. There is a workaround for some apps like Windows Journal. There you can go to ?fullscreen? mode and it works well again. This is the same with basically everything. Watching a movie in window mode? Not possible. In fullscreen it works.

I already tried the AeroLite Style to get a little bit more performance out of it, but it doesn?t seem enough. Somehow the screen seems to overly refresh it self or something. It gets a lot better if there isn?t any chrome left (no Taskbar / Windowborder).

It would be really great if someone here had an idea how to make it possible. There?s no hope for better WDDM drivers, so it seems to be the only way.
