[Bug 2082] DirectDraw games only showing black screen

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2082 --- Comment #35 from Stefan Dösinger <stefandoesinger(a)gmx.at> 2007-11-30 14:53:52 --- Regarding the status, that is just a bugzilla category. A new bug is "UNCONFIRMED", when people confirm it it becomes "NEW". The next step is "RESOLVED" - with various reasons, e.g. FIXED, WONTFIX, ABANDONED, ..., after that CLOSED. So "NEW" doesn't mean that the bug isn't older than $DAYS. The "NEW" is what you mean with confirmed propably. As far as fixing this bug is concerned, an open source project isn't something where you can drop in and order something to be done. Possible reasons why this bug isn't fixed could be a) None of the developer has personal or commercial interest in the specific games b) None of the developers has time to fix it. Remember, many are working on Wine in their free time. c) No volunteer got around to fix it yet(as everyone only demands that it gets fixed) d) The bug is harder to fix than the simple workaround suggests. There might even be architectural differences between Windows and X11 which make it impossible to fix correctly. In case of this bug, it's a combination of all 3 issues. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 10614] Myst Online: Uru Live: wrong cursor

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10614 --- Comment #4 from Andrej <andrej.sinicyn(a)gmx.de> 2007-11-30 14:50:31 --- Well, I don't have any more experience. My debugging will look like adding different console outputs into the method and see which of will be called and tell me how current variables of relevance are set. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 2082] DirectDraw games only showing black screen

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2082 --- Comment #34 from Claudio <sick_soul(a)yahoo.it> 2007-11-30 14:41:58 --- I had the same issue with Diablo, voting this bug. The 'render to desktop' workaround worked, but I'd like to say, the state of the bug is not 'new'. After three years, why don't you change the state to confirmed, and eventually start to implement a fix in the main wine? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 10589] speedfan 4.32 crashes when opened

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10589 --- Comment #9 from Anastasius Focht <focht(a)gmx.net> 2007-11-30 14:20:57 --- Hello, --- quote --- It fixes the crash reported here too, but don't too exited, the app doesn't show any data and I don't think it will ever be useful on Wine because it needs hardware drivers to work. --- quote --- Correct. It's the same issue with a couple of other applications like cpu/gpu-z which use helper kernel drivers and direct i/o access + privileged instructions to gather hardware information. Actually the goal should be to fix apparent crashes and not getting all this nasty hardware access stuff to work. This is indeed beyond the current scope of wine. Once the performance data stuff gets more mature - which causes the crash here - I suggest to close this bug. Any further bug reports regarding real hardware driver operations, like "no useful information is displayed" should be immediately closed with "WONTFIX" to make it clear to the users.

[Bug 10609] Installing VB6.0 Runtime does not work.

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10609 --- Comment #2 from Vladimir <vladimiroski(a)gmail.com> 2007-11-30 13:58:18 --- It fails on the start of the installer. Before the installer do anything, Wine prints those messages and the installer end. That's the real problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10617 Summary: No search function in winhelp.exe Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-tools AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: ankomonster(a)gmail.com For my proffession i use often a winhelp document. To work whith that document i often use the search function. In my version of wine 0.9.46 (in Ubuntu 7.10) the search function does not work. Other users of the same version had the same problem. Is the searchfunction going to work in the newer versions of Wine or is it not going to be solved?

[Bug 10616] New: Myst Online: Uru Live: won't run

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10616 Summary: Myst Online: Uru Live: won't run Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: andrej.sinicyn(a)gmx.de Created an attachment (id=9419) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=9419) small change to free_async_queue() Though I/O Completion is now completed (sorry for the pun) into GIT and made it to 0.9.50 release, Myst Online: Uru Live: won't run properly. The solution is a small change to free_async_queue() in /server/async.c as shown in the attached patch which I got from Andrey Turkin. I'm not sure how severe this change is, as It could either cause a classic off by one error or on the other hand fix it, as that seems to be currently the case with MOUL on wine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
