I THINK you can do this with SoftICE from CompuWare:
http://www.compuware.com/products/driverstudio/ds/softice.htm

This is the tool that most of the driver-writers that I've worked with use.
But I've never worked with people doing Windows video drivers.

I've never played with modern video hardware at this level on Windows (I
wrote some stuff to do this back in "the day" on Win31 and Win95, but that
was port probing/tracking, mot memory mapped registers).
