ChangeDisplaySettings
by Jan Dvorak 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

While trying to run Scratches game, the game tries to set fullscreen resolution but fails - heres the log: trace:x11settings:X11DRV_EnumDisplaySettingsEx mode -1 (current) -- getting current mode (desktop) trace:x11settings:X11DRV_EnumDisplaySettingsEx mode 0 -- 800x600x32bpp (desktop) trace:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx ((null),0x406bf9cc, (nil),0x00000004,(nil)) trace:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx flags=FULLSCREEN trace:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx DM_fields=BITSPERPEL,PELSWIDTH,PELSHEIGHT,DISPLAYFREQUENCY trace:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx width=0 height=0 bpp=32 freq=0 (desktop) err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found! (desktop) it's the second game i encountered trying to do this (calling changedisplaysettings with PELSWIDTH and PELSHEIGHT masks set but setting the values of width and height itself to 0 ). It is buggy application ? Or some undocumented hack in winapi? Or error in wine ? And if it is, what can we do about it (as the games itself runs perfectly otherwise , just windowed ) ? Thanks. JD

WINE's way to find out about MS headers?
by Christoph Frick 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

hiho after reading the SetProperty documentation on MSDN about the direct input interface, i found out about four "defines" that are not yet included in the dinput.h of WINE. #define DIPROP_APPDATA MAKEDIPROP(?) #define DIPROP_CPOINTS MAKEDIPROP(?) #define DIPROP_INSTANCENAME MAKEDIPROP(?) #define DIPROP_PRODUCTNAME MAKEDIPROP(?) i guess the ids they represend are not documented anywhere but the dinput.h from Microsoft. what is the "best practise" for cases like this, to add them to wine's headers? -- cu

Many applications ignore returned error codes (especially if you have to call GetLastError()) if the programmer was under the assumption that there will be never a possibility to cause an error. While this assumption may be true on Windows (or at least a certain Windows version the programmer has tested on) it is certainly not necessarily true in Wine. There could have been a Wine call just before, that was wrongly implemented, returning an invalid pointer or such. Just returning an error may hide that error for many lines, to crash in some much more unrelated area eventually. Tracking such dependant error causes is already hard enough and hiding an invalid pointer access or other invalid parameter by checking for its validness makes it even harder if an application doesn't ridicully check every possible error condition and believe me I haven't seen many programs that really do that. Crashing may be not what most end users very much like but it is in my opinion just as fine than displaying a dialog box that an unrecoverable error has occurred and that it must shut down and much better than relying on the application to actually do proper error checking, but it makes the life of every Wine programmer just a little bit easier and Wine still being far from a release state can use any help on the programmer side. Wine's policy is to do parameter checking only if Windows is doing it in all versions too and sometimes even then only when there is at least one application that depends on it to work properly. Lets look at the example at hand. There is a function that does not check the pointer in Windows. If an application crashes in that function because of that, this means basically that the application did not do proper pointer checking already and then it is very questionable that it would check the error indication of that function at all, since it wouldn't get such an error indication on Windows anyhow. Also this application will either crash on Windows too, and then it is the programmers problem to make this application behave better or it does not crash on Windows because some previous function does behave differently than the Wine equivalent and then every wine programmer would like to know as soon as possible that this error occurres, not 5000 lines further down the program. If you would talk about a stable and final Wine release (which with Wine chasing the Windows API propably never will be) this might be a little different but we talk about a software project heavily under development.

Grand Theft Auto... requires mscoree?
by Ivan Gyurdiev 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Grand Theft Auto... the never ending struggle to get it working. First I thought it was broken because of OLE...subsequently found out the installer was freezing, because of hidden message boxes. Now I've managed to install it in Desktop mode, but it dies when ran, with no output of any kind... Investigating shows: 000b:Call kernel32.SetUnhandledExceptionFilter(2027f1a8) ret=0115fbe9 000b:Ret kernel32.SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() retval=0115fb7c ret=0115fbe9 000b:Call kernel32.GetModuleHandleA(015459f4 "mscoree.dll") ret=0115ae6b 000b:Call ntdll.RtlInitAnsiString(7fcaf528,015459f4 "mscoree.dll") ret=2018d4fc 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlInitAnsiString() retval=00000000 ret=2018d4fc 000b:Call ntdll.RtlAnsiStringToUnicodeString(7fffcbf8,7fcaf528,00000000) ret=2018d55b 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlAnsiStringToUnicodeString() retval=00000000 ret=2018d55b 000b:Call ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString(7fcaf52c,7fffcc00 L"mscoree.dll") ret=201a554d 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString() retval=00000018 ret=201a554d 000b:Call ntdll.LdrGetDllHandle(00000000,00000000,7fcaf52c,7fcaf534) ret=201a555b 000b:Ret ntdll.LdrGetDllHandle() retval=c0000135 ret=201a555b 000b:Call ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError(c0000135) ret=201a558a 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError() retval=0000007e ret=201a558a 000b:Ret kernel32.GetModuleHandleA() retval=00000000 ret=0115ae6b 000b:Call kernel32.ExitProcess(00000001) ret=0115ae8f 000b:Call ntdll.LdrShutdownProcess() ret=201b03bd Looks like it doesn't like the missing mscoree.dll. I thought the .NET framework was not a core windows dll? Why would it require it? Also, installing a native dll doesn't seem to help...

System wide registry
by Vitaly Lipatov 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

In WINE user guide I read int the System Administration Tips about global registry files (f.i. /usr/local/etc/wine.systemreg) But I can't find any code in WINE about it. It is obsoleted now? Is it possible to use system wide registry now? -- Lav Vitaly Lipatov Saint-Petersburg, Etersoft www.etersoft.ru GNU! ALT Linux Team! WINE! LaTeX! LyX!
