Asymmetric mouse movement in DGA2 mode
by J. Christopher Pereira June 5, 2002

June 5, 2002

Hi: I patched 'windows/x11drv/event.c' to run Starcraft in DGA2 mode. In DGA2 I noticed that the mouse movement is't symmetric, ie: mouse speed when moving left/up < mouse speed when moving right/down. To fix this, I modified 'dlls/x11drv/mouse.c', adding: void X11DRV_DGAMotionEvent( HWND hwnd, XDGAMotionEvent *event ) { update_key_state( event->state ); // HACK: fix asymmetric mouse motion if(event->dx < 0) event->dx *= 2; if(event->dy < 0) event->dy *= 2; send_mouse_event( hwnd, MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, event->dx, event->dy, 0, event->time ); } (just empirical values) Why does this happen? Is there any cleaner solution? Observation: in 'send_mouse_event' says: "/* Relative mouse movements seem not to be scaled as absolute ones */" BTW, in this application, when the mouse reaches the border of the screen (moving the mouse cursor out of the window), the view is supposed to be scrolled in that direction. This doesn't work in DGA mode, but works when not using DGA Any idea? System: latest winex CVS version + XFree86 4.2.0

Making a patch
by Nix N. Nix June 5, 2002

June 5, 2002

I have implemented the RunFileDlg in shell32.dll, but I don't know how to make a patch and submit it to wine-patches. Well, I have a pretty good idea, but I don't want to submit a garbage patch. Can you please help me ? Thanks.

Call for application owner
by Guy L. Albertelli June 5, 2002

June 5, 2002

Having just fixed Bug 671, I think we need an owner for the Valve Hammer application. It demonstrates numerous bugs on the CVS version (4 days old). The bugs range from LoadLibrary errors during the installer run, to gui problems with the main screen. Even the tab control demonstrates differences from native in this package. I don't have the time to use this program as a test base and hope someone can step up and do it. The installer is the second attachment to Bug 671 and is all you need to get started.

WINE dlls on Windows Status Update
by Steven Edwards June 5, 2002

June 5, 2002

As many of you know, I have been in the process of porting the WINE shared libraries to Mingw as Windows PE dlls for the ReactOS project. Below are results of testing the dlls that we can build from the current WINE tree under Windows98SE. We were going to use win2k for this test however the Windows File Protection was giving us to much trouble for it to be worth it at this time. Another test is planned at the end of the month using win2k. Thanks to Chris Gianelloni for helping to setup and run these test in VMware.

I noticed :-) Dustin, thank you for the great work you do. It was long overdue to clean these old issues. I have some comments - sometimes you mark as resolved and ask to reopen if the bug still exists bugs with very nice reports. I think this is good approach when you can't check whether the problem still exists or for some obscure applications, but many of the bug reports you closed are short, nice and consious. I think better approaches with these sort of bug reports is: a) try to reproduce yourself - the best approach. Your confirmation in the bug comments is very important for developer who may try to fix the issue. b) if research looks complex - a half a way to solving a bug, you can add comment, smth like "Needs to be confirmed". In both cases bug can be assigned to the component owner. c) ask to confirm without resolving the bug All these approaches insure that bug report won't be forgotten and this can happen if the bugs are just marked as "resolved". Could you try to go through the old bugs you marked as resolved? I already started to do this. I'll leave my comments in the bugs I reviewed.

Improving debugging (gdb) support
by tijs＠connectux.com June 4, 2002

June 4, 2002

Hi, I'd like to improve debugging support for Wine, and have time to undertake a larger project. Either I could work on winedbg to match gdb's features, or I could try to make gdb understand Wine better. Given the amount of useful frontends for gdb, it seems wiser to go for the second option. I'd love to be corrected if you think working on winedbg is a better choice. Gdb seems to have trouble understanding the way windows processes run in Wine. If anyone has thought about this, I'd like to know your opinions on a good solution to this problem. Furthermore, it seems useful to make gdb parse the .pdb format, or other debugging information. Winedbg already has a working pdb parser, which I could port to gdb. Feel free to push me in the right direction. -- Tijs van Bakel, ConnecTUX, <tijs(a)connectux.com>

I'm experiencing problems with this. Just updated to the lastest CVS (June 4 2002) and I'm getting the following WINE error when trying to run any application: Invalid path 'c:\windows\system' for system directory: does not exist Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file. Relevant snippets from my wine config file: [Drive C] "Path" = "/windows" "Type" = "hd" "Filesystem" = "win95" [wine] "windows" = "C:\\windows" "system" = "C:\\windows\\system" And from /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /windows vfat rw,auto,umask=000 0 0 /dev/hda1 is a Fat32 partition and does indeed contain \windows and \windows\system subdirectories. All lower case. winecheck gives me a "99% correct" score, and reports no problems with "Drive C" (all errors are related to file permission issues on Drive D which is not being used here.) snippet from winecheck output: ----------------------------- checking config file ----------------------------- 003. Checking config file access... OK. >>> Checking drive C settings: 004. Checking Path option... OK. 005. Checking Type option... OK. 006. Checking Filesystem option... OK. --> OK.

If you are interested in owning R4, that's fine by me. For what it's worth, from 1993-97 I was a programmer on the team that designed and wrote Notes R4 and R5 (Iris Associates) so I have some knowledge of application internals (although, sadly, no source code.) I'm following the discussion and bug report 466 although I have not been able to test with the latest CVS due to wine config problems detailed in my earlier message to the list. Regards, Dan Schwarz

Lotus Notes application owner
by Ian Pilcher June 4, 2002

June 4, 2002

I was under the impression that there already was one, but it looks like I was mistaken. I will volunteer to own the Notes *R4* client, which I regularly use. (I suggest having a different owner for Notes R5.) My employer only recently began providing a VPN access option for Linux, so I've only been back to using Notes with Wine for a few weeks, but it seems to be working very well. The only bug I've noticed is that the left pane of the mail window (in which the "views" are shown) is resized to a zero width when the window is redrawn. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher pilchman(a)attbi.com ========================================================================

linux kernel thoughts
by William Knop June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

I'm sure people have asked questions about integrating wine into the linux kernel. Probably got flamed by everybody, yeah? But that's not what I'm posting about. Not directly, anyway. =) I'm thinking of writing a kernel patch for PE executable support. Is there any reason why wine libraries should not be used in a similar manner as standard linux libraries? Granted wine is more than just it's libraries. Anyway, good idea, bad idea? And please keep the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comments to yourself. No progress is made with that mentality.

Wine front-end -- winespy
by Massimo June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

I am finishing a gui front end for wine that allows to start and stop wine app on the fly, capture wine output and filter debug cannels as required. It's done calling wine with --debugmesg +all and filtering it, so it'll slow down in some extents wine app.... For the moment I didn't find a way to remotely control wine debug channels from my app. I think that with little wine code changes it would be possible, i.e. passing a pipe to wine with something like --debugpipe num, and using it to start-stop debug channels output on the fly... But I can't code it.... If someone knows how to implement that stuff, I'd be glad to change my app... it would be much faster than now. BTW, I'll post my app (a QT based one) on next days after some testing. Regards Max

A problem with winmm and word
by Duane Clark June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

Word2000 seems to work good for me, except when I exit. It than invariably crashes in winmm, of all places: Backtrace: =>0 0x44056d9f (MULTIMEDIA_PlaySound+0x12f(pszSound=0x0, hmod=0x0, fdwSound=0x40, bUnicode=0x0) [mmsystem.c:639] in winmm.dll.so) (ebp=405b6bfc) 1 0x44056e37 (WINMM.DLL.PlaySound+0x13 in winmm.dll.so) (ebp=405b6c14) 2 0x30962b08 (MSO9.DLL._MsoFShowTooltip(a)8+0x123b in C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\MSO9.DLL) (ebp=405b6d78) 3 0x30a92306 (MSO9.DLL._MsoFGetCursorLocation(a)8+0x23f in C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\MSO9.DLL) (ebp=405b6d9c) 4 0x30170343 (winword.exe.EntryPoint+0x16d9a3 in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe) (ebp=307cd7d0) 5 0x00000012 (ebp=00000000) MULTIMEDIA_PlaySound() gets called three times. The first two times work ok, but on the third time, it is called with a NIL pszSound. This causes wps to never be set, causing the crash on line 639: wps->lpNext = iData->lpPlaySound; I added a simple test to return if wps is not set, and Word exits fine. But I have no idea whether that is the right thing to do.

Do you think it's REALLY needed > or is there non-solvable problems? I'm interested in the Wine project, in particular, the kernel module being developed to speed up execution of win32 programs. It would really benefit from what you're proposing. (Wine is currently starting to do its own SMB client stuff, probably using the same shared library you're proposing to use, but not in a way that would be usable by the wine kernel module, I think. Wine could use your enhanced smbfs, if present, to allow all file operations to be handled by the wine kernel module.) > > Question: how will you carry the SMB token around? > > Let's imagine somebody starts a script that runs two programs > > that access SMB shares, and that they're initially not logged in at > > all. > > If this were Windows, it would prompt them once for their username > > and password, and then allow access from then on. ... > > For The user/pwd problem, you are right, user should be prompted for a > password.

I favor #4, it's the simplest. When the time comes that somebody wants closer emulation of windows behavior, something fancier could be done. > For the token [itself], it could be a file on the disk: > /tmp/user.smb.token, like with kerberos If that's how kerberos does it, that's probably fine. (In fact, in the future, won't you just use kerberos for a lot of windows networks?) But it might be awkward to access from inside the kernel, so I can imagine you might want to store it inside your smbfs kernel module instead. > What about putting that in a ENV VAR? Nope, environment variables are not global enough. Some posters have proposed using autofs to do the mounting. That's a good idea if it saves work and lets you have the per-user semantics you want. So all you need to do is implement an smbfs that uses the user's token to validate each open/rm/mv, and you're done. (Modulo somebody hooking an smb browser into an ldap server, but that may already have been done.) - Dan

problem : win16 stack selector freed twice
by Christian Costa June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

Hi everybody, I encountered the following problem that completely broke MapLS. I investigated a little and here is what I've found : 1) a selector is allocated for the win16 stack in THREAD_InitStack 2) the selector is freed and the stack replaced by another (the DGROUP of the module) in NE_StartTask 3) MapLS is called, allocates the freed selector and keep it in a linked list 4) the selector is freed in SYSDEPS_ExitThread which believes it to be the selector of the initial task 5) the selector being freed is allocated (from where is not important) and the associated descriptor is modified 6) further call to MapLS (wich makes the function to use this selector) make wine to crash because the descriptor has been overwritten So 2) and 4) are conflicting but I think only 4) is wrong. 4) should free the selector of the new stack instead of the old one. Or should do nothing if the stack has been changed. Any idea? A+ Christian

Win16 Support again
by Steven Edwards June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

Ok I changed my mind, I want to disable it for now. What is going to be the best way to go about doing it? We currently have the -DNO_WINEWINSOCK should I just #ifndef the code out with -DNO_WIN16 ? Thanks Steven "Every revolution was once a thought in one man's mind" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
