[Bug 3573] Regression: Winrar fails to start
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3573 ------- Additional Comments From Speeddymon(a)gmail.com 2005-13-11 01:04 ------- Update: Alexandre seems to think that this can be fixed in wine, until the hacks are removed from the X11 sources, and the X patch can be invalidated. See below. --- "Dmitry Timoshkov" <dmitry at baikal.ru> writes:
Wine ought to be able to handle images larger than 32767x32767, that's not a Wine requirement, that's what applications written for win32 API expect to see working. There is no way to make it work without DIB engine if X11 doesn't support it due to ineternal bugs.
In general yes, but in this case it's Wine that is creating the huge bitmap, and that could easily be avoided. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard at winehq.org ---
From what I understand, WinRAR creates several small bitmaps, and then wine renders it all as 1 big bitmap, which X cannot handle due to the cause of this report, and so therefore X returns a BadAlloc call, to prevent some sort of over-/under-flow... Wine, according to Alexandre and some others on the list can work around this by properly rendering the images as several small bitmaps, instead of 1 large one.. How long it will take to get that done, I dunno, which is why the next post to this bug by myself will be linking this bug to a metabug tracker for the šXorg Pixmap patch issueš.
