Hi Detlef, + IDS_NOTHINGTOCONFIG "This Port has no Options to configure" This should be "This port has no options to configure." In English, nouns are generally not capitalized - only proper nouns. Google will give many pages helping with that if you like. Thanks, --Juan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!

The previous code also in this file does the same thing, so it would be fine by me. (The more correct fix would be likely to create a executable section and memcpy the code there and execute it there, but I think we can avoid it for now.) ciao, Marcus > --- > dlls/ntdll/tests/exception.c | 6 +++--- > 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/dlls/ntdll/tests/exception.c b/dlls/ntdll/tests/exception.c > index a87cadf..0437661 100644 > --- a/dlls/ntdll/tests/exception.c > +++ b/dlls/ntdll/tests/exception.c > @@ -241,7 +241,7 @@ static DWORD dreg_handler( EXCEPTION_REC > return ExceptionContinueExecution; > } > > -static BYTE code[5] = { > +const static BYTE code[5] = { > 0x31, 0xc0, /* xor %eax,%eax */ > 0x8f, 0x00, /* popl (%eax) - cause exception */ > 0xc3 /* ret */ > @@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ static DWORD single_step_handler( EXCEPT > return ExceptionContinueExecution; > } > > -static BYTE single_stepcode[] = { > +const static BYTE single_stepcode[] = { > 0x9c, /* pushf */ > 0x58, /* pop %eax */ > 0x0d,0,1,0,0, /* or $0x100,%eax */ > @@ -325,7 +325,7 @@ static void test_single_step(void) > } > > /* Test the alignment check (AC) flag handling. */ > -static BYTE align_check_code[] = { > +const static BYTE align_check_code[] = { > 0x55, /* push %ebp */ > 0x89,0xe5, /* mov %esp,%ebp */ > 0x9c, /* pushf */ > -- > 1.4.3.4 > > > >

HLSL2GLSL
by Ian Macfarlane 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

ATI has released software called HLSL2GLSL which converts D3D9 High Level Shader Language (HLSL) into the OpenGL equivalent GLSL. It's open source, and appears to be under a BSD license, so may be possible to integrate into WINE (I'm not sure if it's old or new BSD license). The source code is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hlsl2glsl Press releases and news about it are here: http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/11/10/hlsl2glsl/index.php http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=35742 Hope this is of interest, Regards, Ian ps: Sorry if this comes through twice - I didn't subscribe before sending this the first time and it looks like it didn't get through.

RFC: d3d8 refcount implementation
by Markus Amsler 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

After spamming wine-patches with d3d tests, I tried to implement the probed behaviour. Attached are two patches, which makes all d3d8 refcount test pass. They are small and ugly. The problems are: The implicit surfaces now gets released if the refcount is -1. Somehow we have to force releasing d3d8 sufaces from wined3d. No idea how. I added a flag to mark the implicit surfaces. It's redundant, because wined3d knows the implicit surfaces. The other idea is calling GetRenderTarget and friends in Surface_(AddRef/Release). Besides the problem of an endless recursion, it would be quite an overhead. Another problem is, that IWineD3DDeviceImpl_Uninit3D calls via GetParent AddRef/Release on the d3d8 surface. This causes the device to be released again(=>endless recursion). I "solved" it with ignoring an addref from 0 in the d3d8 Device, which causes the release to be -1 => no wined3d device releasing. Works but ugly. Ideas, suggestions? >From 1a73ec5958e2e4c7fd076184c9e1f1cf7427d936 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Amsler <markus.amsler(a)oribi.org> Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 22:29:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] d3d8: Force implicit surfaces to handle their own refcount.

Success story with Wine
by Darryl Dixon 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi All, Just a quick note to say thanks to the Devs for the incredible job that you are doing on the march to 1.0. I have been following Wine development for many many years, and the progress in the last year is truly extraordinary. Earlier today I fired up my copy of Firefox 1.5.0.7 for Windows with Wine 0.9.25, browsed to the Firefox page, downloaded Firefox 2.0, clicked `Open' from the download window, ran the installer flawlessly, and started up the new version of Firefox seamlessly. From there I downloaded ColorPic (a screen color picker for Windows that I use for Web work); the .zip file opened up automatically in WinRAR, from which I was able to launch the installer executable and install it fine. It started up after install perfectly too, and now I can pick colors from all over my Linux (Gnome) desktop with a Windows color picker tool. Not a single error, glitch, or fault to be seen. It all went fast, and smooth. It seems to me that Wine is now at the point that the average user could probably browse the web quite happily, downloading little Windows apps and trying them out, without ever even realising they were running the Windows versions of everything. Astounding. Awesome. Full credit. many regards, -- Darryl Dixon <esrever_otua(a)pythonhacker.is-a-geek.net>

Over 500 maintainers in the applcation database
by Tony Lambregts 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

_I_ think this is news worthy. We now have over 500 individuals who have signed up to be maintainer of an applications. these maintainers are spread out over 794 entries in the AppDB. Since there are some applications with multiple maintainers and some maintainers maintain multiple apps and the fact that super maintainers are responsible for multiple versions I cannot give a accurate count on maintained applications ;^) There has not been a lot of hacking on the AppDB for a while. At least part of the reason for this is that there is a lot of work to be done just administrating it. even with all the maintainers and administrators it seems we are always a couple of days behind checking new application submissions and test results. Current active Administrators are : Chris Morgan (In charge of cvs commits) Tony Lambregts (me) Louis Lenders Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes Killertux Molle Bestefich Jan Zerebecki Nick Law We can always use more help and even though I am kind of proud of the current status of the AppDB I have to be one of the first to admit it needs some more polish. If you know php and would like to help out you can download the source http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs There are lots of features that would enhance the AppDB please have a look at the wiki and feel free to add other stuff that you think would be good to have. http://wiki.winehq.org/AppdbInfo You can also help out by becoming an application maintainer as well or if you are a sucker for punishment then perhaps you might consider becoming a Administrator for the AppDB. -- Tony Lambregts

The idea is that a test should depend only on the .c file it's defined in. That's also why eg. the code to initialise a D3D device is duplicated everywhere.
