Status of XI2 mouse stuff?
by Luke Benstead 02 Aug '09

Hi all, I remember seeing an email that someone had implemented DX mouse input using the new XInput2 extensions. What's the status of that? Is it in Wine already? Cheers, Luke.

What John said! But just to be clear: only Alexandre has git commit power. The rest of us have to send patches to wine-patches and keep improving them until he relents and admits that perhaps they're worthy of inclusion. :-) Also, we tend not to worry too much about having bugs assigned. There are so many available that there is seldom any real duplication of effort. Are there any areas in particular you're interested in? If not, one great way to start is to look at bugs with keyword 'download' that have not been changed in > 90 days, see if you can reproduce the problem with current wine from git, and append your test results (either "bug still present in git" or "works for me with git") as a comment. And once you've done a few of those, maybe you'll see one you can actually try to fix. Not every wine bug is hard. - Dan

This looks like a manipulation for me. How is this calculated? http://appdb.winehq.org/ <http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=manipulation>

How far away are we from .net 3.0 install working?
by Dan Kegel 01 Aug '09

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2009-June/074701.html says that the offline installer for .net 3.0 works fine with that one patch, but it didn't seem to work when I tried it. Anyone know what the story is? - Dan

RFC XRender add support for dibsections in more color depths
by Roderick Colenbrander 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hi, For some weeks I have been working on moving more 2D rendering to XRender. XRender has three advantages for Wine. First of all it allows us to perform more rendering operations using X which we previously did using a combination of software rendering and back-forth copying between the Xserver. Second XRender offers depth conversion (this gives us proper alpha support in Wine and allows us to bypass DIB color conversion in some cases!). Third XRender brings us more hardware acceleration and that way more performance. The patch attached to this thread adds support for dibsections in additional color depths. On Xservers running at 24-bit this patch offers us dibsections in 1-bit/15-bit/16-bit/24-bit/32-bit. (32-bit is for proper alpha support) Big parts of the Wine X11 Driver make assumptions about having only two color depths around (1-bit and screen_depth e.g. 24-bit). I would like to request that people apply the current patch to latest git (in combination with the Office2007 patch which I posted to wine-patches). Please report any 2D rendering issues you see and also mention possible Wine crashes due to X errors like BadMatch. Try as much programs as possible. Thanks in advance, Roderick Colenbrander

Hi. Yesterday I attached a patch to fix longstanding bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3231 . It fixes this issue, and I hope doesn't produce any new ones. Now I need to test it on a wide range of applications you use every day. If you spotted any new issues after it please let me know. Here's a direct link to attachment: http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22742 Patch should be applied on top of wine-1.1.26-232-g39876f4. Nikolay S.
