Re: Wine IE6 and JVM
by Adrian Munteanu 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Hi Thank you both for your reply. However the answer for both questions would be yes. I have installed J2SEE 5 from Sun for both, Windows and Linux. As far as I know both of them have JVM integrated. I've tried to install msjavx86.exe but keep telling that needs a previous version to be upgraded. My problem is that after successfully installing above mentioned the software is not integrated with IE. The problem seems to be registry related. I've checked on windows and the registry for IE seems to contain informations about JVM. However the registry used by Wine are not updated with these information, therefore the internet explorer doesn't have a checkbox for the JVM to be used. Am I on the wrong path here?

New Wine ISV case study: Synapticad
by Dan Kegel 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Thanks to Stefan Munz of ITOMIG, I now have a nice writeup by Dan Notestein about SynaptiCAD's success with Winelib; it's online at http://kegel.com/wine/isv/synapticad.html It was first written about a year ago, but languished in cyberspace. I think I've given it its first home on a web site, and updated it a bit after emailing with Mr. Notestein. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Suggested changes to the menubuilder etc.
by Bill Medland 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

I am intending doing some work and submitting some patches to "improve" the integration with the operating system desktop integration. Rather than waste time coding up my ideas and having Alexandre reject them I thought I'd start by specifying what I intend and awaiting a barrage of complaints. So please do comment. 1. I reckon it would be a good idea if somewhere we actually wrote some prose that actually declared what it was we were trying to achieve. I have a real issue with trying to decide if the code does what it does because of a deliberate decision, because either Windows or Linux or ... changed or because we just had not got around to implementing what we want. Prose is much better for that. I could put it in the Wine Developer's Guide, in the Wiki (where?), or as a text file in the winemenubuilder directory (my preference). Any comments? 2. My main issue is that we do not replicate the menu structure under the start menu (and presumably the desktop too but I haven't looked there). The program I am working with goes several layers below the Programs directory. I see that wineshelllink is able to take a path for the link but winemenubuilder doesn't use that. I intend adding to winemenubuilder so that it passes a more complete link, with path, to get the depth. 3. I want to do something about looking for icons when the target is actually data, not an executable. Either I will just use no icon or I will see what I can do about looking up the handler for the file type and going from there (possibly even using the native OS's handler e.g. pdf files). Any complaints? -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

Re: DirectDraw over Direct3D

The bad thing with this idea is that it can't > be used on older video cards or even some newer ones that lack proper > direct rendering. Am I correct that even when just doing depth > conversions, without direct rendering it will still be slow? > Perhaps I should clarify some misunderstandings that some people have. (I hope I explain it correctly) Basicly DirectDraw provides a mechanism to directly access the framebuffer of the videocard. This is the fastest way to render 2D images on the screen. Games like StarCraft, Total Annihilation, C&C and lots of others use DirectDraw in this way. Second there's another class of games like Age Of Empires2, Heroes of Might and Magic IV and others which mix ddraw with GDI. They for instance render a image using ddraw and then use GetDC/ReleaseDC to get a device context so that they can draw in the surface. (directly into the video memory) In case of X direct framebuffer access is only possible through DGA but it is unsecure and has other issues. When DGA works correctly it can accelerate games like StarCraft. Further DGA doesn't have any depth conversion issues as it does depth switching. Without DGA the rendering operations need to go through X. Because of limitations of X, depth conversion problems appear when the depth of the desktop and X aren't the same. For depth conversion purposes Wine's DirectDraw uses a DIB section. Basicly all pixels of an image are translated to the depth of X. This is slow and especially for the case when the application requests 8bit paletted mode using a 24bit desktop. In this case a color lookup needs to happen in a palette for each pixel. The end result is then shown on the screen (if the game is of the StarCraft type) Games that use GetDC/ReleaseDC can't work using DGA. The performance in general isn't great as lots of X calls happen. (things like conversions from XPixmap to XImages and the way around and also depth conversions happen a lot) The patch I sent works for both classes of games though it won't help much for the second class as GetDC/ReleaseDC stuff is slow. As explained before the patch uploads the surface to a texture which is then rendered using OpenGL. This is quite fast and as a bonus the videocard can do all depth conversion for us as it isn't limited to rendering textures which are at the same depth as X. For old videocards the GL renderer won't work and the old code should work fine (except for performance issues). You might have heard people talking about a 'dibengine' which would let Wine do all DIB related operations in software which would save a lot of XImage/XPixmap conversions. (conversion is only needed for the final rendering stage) This dibengine would mainly accelerate games that use GetDC/ReleaseDC. It won't help games like StarCraft (much) as for those DIBs were only used for depth conversion and the conversion algorithm stays the same (it can't be tweaked much if at all). So there's not really a way to speedup games like StarCraft for old videocards. Perhaps XShm might be of use but not sure how much it would help. (think it would only be usefull for GetDC/ReleaseDC games) Roderick -- Telefonieren Sie schon oder sparen Sie noch? NEU: GMX Phone_Flat http://www.gmx.net/de/go/telefonie -- Highspeed-Freiheit.

IBM Homepage Builder mostly functional with wine-0.9.3
by Dan Kegel 15 Dec '05

Man, wine is getting good! Homepage builder seems to install and mostly work. Even the flash demo works. Kudos to the Wine developers! A few of the included tools crash on startup, though, e.g. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4082 And then there's that regsvr installation problem I just posted about. -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Re: feedback wanted from arts, esound and jack sound driver users.
by Emanuel Rumpf 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hi I have tried to run some apps with the wine-jack-driver. It is working, but I found it pretty unstable, especially with MME buffersizes below 100ms What I would like to see improved: 1. More stability, no zombification on buffer underruns (xruns) 2. Law latency connection for audio and midi (maybe ASIO emulation?), (MME brings additional buffers and latencies, "DirectSound" driver doesnt work with wine-jack) 3. Midi-support: With the wine-jack driver, there is no midi in/out port visible, which makes the driver useless for more serious audio works. thanks for your efforts regards, emanuel some notes: When I select the audio tab in winecfg I get: err:midi:MIDI_AlsaToWindowsDeviceType Cannot determine the type (alsa type is 100000) of this midi device.

That's because it's a Windows file and thus has PE headers, where .so files has ELF headers. Wine should fallback to loading the native .acm version if the .so is not there. Since Wine actually finds the .acm.so version, I imagine the acm is being loaded through LoadLibrary or some such DLL loading function. So maybe someone just forgot to make Wine check for native DLL files named .acm in the DLL loading code? Just a guess.
