What happened to the Fedora packages?
by Neal Gompa 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use the RPMs...

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

The status of the wintab dll
by Robert North 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think after the 10 or more patches to the Wintab dll that I submitted last month, I should say something about it's status... And of course thank Alexandre for applying those patches. P.S. I won't be available from the 15th for about a week or so. So, if you have any questions, I'm afraid you might have to be patient. Hope this is of interest to someone -Rob. ******Applications: Current status*********** ***In Painter 5 *Cursor pressure works. (Therefore is usable by most) *Cursor orientation is a little odd: The orientation maths needs to be re-done. *No eraser. Haven't yet cracked what enables the eraser. *Doesn't work in desktop mode: Need to map to desktop coordinates. *Repeats windows bugs where cursor looses pressure/orientation info almost bug for bug (Is this a feature? ;-) *Cannot detect pressure/orientation int the "Brush Tracking" window: The tablet context is attached to the main window, so no events get to the popup, even if they overlap. This is not how windows wintab functions. ***In Photoshop 6. *Can only get tablet data in desktop mode: This is because the tablet context is attached to the desktop. Which generates/receives no wine events outside desktop mode. * Eraser and pen pressure working. *But* to get them working, you must have 3 XInput devices listed in your XF86Config file, They need to be the last entries in the "ServerLayout" section and the following order: eraser, tablet mouse. This is a far from ideal way of specifying the devices Wintab should use :-/ I'll document this if someone can point me to a good place to put the docs. *******To Do************* 1. Look at X11 errors. There appear to be some errors that deny some users the ability to access Wintab enabled apps. (I think I know how to fix this) 2. Improve orientation data. Orientation comes in as X-Y coords (Implicit Z), and has to leave as spherical coords. This calculation needs to be re-done. 3. When tablet context is on top, let it read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. (This simulates the fact that the context is usually designed to cover the whole screen) 4. When tablet context is attached to desktop, read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. 5. Tests ~ --My current philosophy on tests is... ~ Use Photoshop & Painter, any formal tests ~ can be written if anyone else gets involved in patching Wintab, to avoid regressions, and conflict. **********Long term to do (Anyone interested?):********* There's a lot of work that could be done here, but what gets done and who does it probably depends upon whether anyone finds an app that needs these features. I'd love to implement these, but realistically, I don't foresee doing this unless someone hires me to do so ;) 1. Improve configuration of wintab. Wintab could probably do with some information entered into the config file, to avoid the user having to hack their Xfree86cfg file. 2. Handle Z-Order of context properly. This entails *sharing Z-Order between apps. *Working out exactly what role windows have in determining tablet context z-orders. *Allow tablet contexts that don't cover the whole screen/tablet. *Handle inter-application clipping of tablet contexts *Allow all application's windows to receive tablet events when tablet context is on top 3. Implement non-system tablet contexts (Where system cursor not moved by pen or mouse) 4. Unicodify 5. Implement various wintab extensions. 6. Implement wintab manager functions. 7. Tests. *********Unknowns********* 1. How are wintab contexts are raised lowered? Contexts have their own z-order independent of windows, and their own viewport concept, based upon the tablet's coordinate system, not that of the OS. It appears that entering, or clicking on the window the tablet context is attached to will raise/lower the context. But I haven't done much testing on this. In particular, what happens if more than one app request their tablet context is attached to the desktop? 2. How Painter detects the eraser. Have 3 possibilities i. Windows can detect an eraser, and sends specific messages. (I'm sure I've seen this, but can't work out where!) ii. Only works if tablet and cursors are named correctly. (Probably linked to wacom tablets only). iii. I've missed something 3.

re: What operating systems will Winelib run on non-x86 systems?

Hi Wei Li, last year, you asked in http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2004/06/0086.html > I could not find the info regarding what operating systems > (such as AIX 5L v5.2, HP-UX 11i, Solaris Release Level > 9) will Winelib run on non-x86 machines.

I'm sorry nobody got back to you -- the wine-devel mailing list might have been a better place to ask. I believe winelib runs on the following non-x86 operating systems: Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. There's no reason in principle it couldn't run on AIX or HP/UX. Some work has been done on an HP/UX port, but some assembly would be required to complete it: http://www.winehq.com/site/?issue=241#HP-UX%20Port Cheers, Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

re: Wine-wiki broken by design

Maybe the wine wiki could publish a machine-readable sitemap; see http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/about.html That would put less load on the server than letting Yahoo and Google crawl the wiki themselves. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

This breaks installation of real IE. Setting version to IE 5.5 would give the users a chance to install at least version 6.0. BTW, you should fix the typo in the third line. Sven

wine's fullscreen code has no effect on metacity
by Vincent Povirk 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Some patches were committed to wine recently to make it use _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN for fullscreen apps. These patches appear to work in kwin but not metacity (I was using firefox as a test). In metacity, it appears wine recognizes that it needs to make a window fullscreen and send the appropriate message, but nothing happens (panels are still on top of firefox in fullscreen mode). I've mentioned this on wine's bug (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3312) but I suspect it's probably caused by some quirk in metacity that wine triggers by doing some rather odd things itself. That's why I've CC'd the metacity-devel list (to which I and probably anyone on any wine mailing lists are not subscribed). So, uh, metacity people, under what circumstances would metacity be likely to put a window that had sent the proper _NET_WM_STATE_ADD message for _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN behind panels? -- Vincent Povirk

KDE wineconfig module & audio
by Yuriy 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hi, I'm creating a KDE guidance module for wine. I'm stuck on something. winecfg tries to open each audio driver to get a list of available drivers. So far, I've just put in the list of all possible drivers, but I want to get a list consistent with winecfg. I don't know how to go about testing which drivers are available. I'm using regedit for settings, so I'm not linking to wine so I can't just use the function(s) provided in wine. Also, I'd like to put in a button to test if sound is working. Is there any software included in wine to play a wav? It needs to be something that would be installed by default when wine is installed, rather than something that's just in the source like the tests in winmm. Thanks for any help ~Yuriy
