LuminalVGD v0.1.0-alpha.3 — Milestone 1 Update 2

Driver build 13 (DriverVer 0.1.0.13). Changes since v0.1.0-alpha.2 (build 11):

Fixed

  • Cold-boot display activation. At first activation the OS routinely
    reassigns the swapchain within ~10 ms; the frame worker created its
    D3D device while holding the ring mutex, so on a cold GPU stack the
    bounded worker stop could detach a worker that still pinned the mutex,
    and the replacement worker starved before it could hand the OS its
    swapchain device — the modeset rolled back and the display never
    activated (no GDI name, zero active displays). The device create and
    IddCxSwapChainSetDevice now run entirely before any ring
    bookkeeping; nothing on the activation-critical path can wait behind a
    detached predecessor.
  • Black box around the text-caret (I-beam) cursor. The hardware-
    cursor setup ladder preferred XOR emulation, and the OS's emulation
    converts monochrome/XOR cursors to alpha shapes with a documented
    solid border around the image. The ladder now offers FULL XOR support
    first — the streaming host composites true masked/XOR shapes at
    encode time — with emulation retained as the fallback on OS builds
    that refuse it.

Hardening (shell callback hygiene)

  • All IddCx/D3D side effects moved off callback frames onto a dedicated
    effects worker; bounded (500 ms) teardown everywhere a thread could
    previously block a callback; adapter epoch protocol so stale queued
    work can never touch a torn-down adapter; full device-teardown reset
    so a device re-add always re-initializes cleanly.

Diagnostics

  • New ETW events: mode-negotiation visibility
    (ParseDescription2 / QueryTargetModes2 / CommitModes2) and
    CursorShape (shape type/geometry per published cursor shape).

Pairing

  • Works with LuminalShine 26.08.0-beta.2 or later; 26.08.0-beta.4 is
    current at release time. Protocol unchanged (proto 0.3,
    handshake build 13).
