Yes, it can be a regression from the driver changes!
I have seen that the vgamp/vidport loading sequence is pretty braindead and
surely broken due to the latest changes. I already added some code to
LdrProcessPEModule() that auto-loads modules that are not currently loaded,
but used by the currenly loading driver. So when vgamp.sys is loaded, the
module loader will automatically load vidport.sys.

I will also have to examine the code in win32k.sys that loads the display
driver (vgaddi.sys). This could also be broken.

Do you load vgamp.sys or just vidport.sys to run winhello.exe?
