Small DirectX (8.1) bug
by Steven Edwards July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

When playing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds under WINE the text for the menus is rendered as black rather then white. What wine flags should I be using to send a proper bug report for this? I can also send a screenshot if needed. Thanks Steven __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com

The game's software mode >works fine through the x11drv. I'm aware of that fact, currently using the latest Tribes patch (OPENGL got into patch 1.3, i got 1.11, so i'm sure it works). Getting glide to run in tribes doesn't seem to be a problem, i've been playing some with glide-wrappers which seems to work fine (some glitches) and the game gets renderd. I believe that if the opengl detection would get fixed, the game would probobly work perfectly in opengl. Lionel any more logs you need, just drop me a mess.

The first on is +relay,+dinput,+event (which has me pressing the a key, then shuts down) and the second is +opengl,+x11drv,-dsound. DGA is disabled as it breaks my Nvidia driver when running the game. >> I'm trying now to get OpenGL to work, i've run through the >> ./configure >> --enable-opengl, and checked the config.log to see that everything >> checks out (Which it does). I have something to mention about the Opengl. The game upon release didn't include opengl. Whether is was incomplete or buggy I don't know. A later patch included full opengl support. So make sure your running the latest patch if you can. I was able to get the game running in accelerated mode a while back. But that was probably in glide mode, which I cannot test right now. I tried yesterday to run it in opengl mode by going into the options menu and selecting it, but the option is missing. It must not be detecting the opengl. I know my opengl drivers work. The game's software mode works fine through the x11drv. Jesse

Re: PATCH: [Bug 19] - font enumeration problems for aliased gdi fonts
by Rafael Kitover July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

Huw D M Davies wrote: > What's exactly the problem here? Is it lack of support of 16bit EnumFonts ? > > Huw. The problem is this line in X11DRV_EnumDeviceFonts: if (physDev->dc->gdiFont) return FALSE; so if the font is "MS Sans Serif", it will return 0, and old VB apps at least won't like that. But knowing the actual X11 font name given in the wine config, from the alias table it's possible to enumerate it, so those apps will start, that's what that patch does. That's all I really managed to understand here, if there is a better way to do this I will.

question on _lclose16
by Rafael Kitover July 28, 2002

July 28, 2002

In files/file.c, line 1351: HFILE16 WINAPI _lclose16( HFILE16 hFile ) { if (hFile < 5) { FIXME("stdio handle closed, need proper conversion\n" ); SetLastError( ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE ); return HFILE_ERROR16; } .... What does this mean? Taking it out doesn't seem to hurt anything. I understand from this block: static void FILE_InitProcessDosHandles( void ) { dos_handles[0] = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); dos_handles[1] = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); dos_handles[2] = GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE); dos_handles[3] = GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE); dos_handles[4] = GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE); } why we don't want to close those handles probably. But why would I see that message, do sloppy windows programs try to close a range of handle numbers or something? Tell me what needs to be properly converted to what and I'll try to do it :P

cXXFrameHandler

Just wanted to say thanks and let you know that geoshell now works in WINE on my slackware 8 box. This is great because once the ReactOS boys get the windowing work done it wont take much adapting at all for us to have this as our shell. And for the time being I have a good interface to CVS under linux. =) Thanks Again Steven __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

CUPS and Wine
by David D. Hagood July 27, 2002

July 27, 2002

I've been having trouble with my RH7.2 LPRng based printing, so I decided I'd try installing CUPS. After fighting for hours to get this so-called easier printing system installed and working, I finally got to where I could print from Linux apps. Now, however, Wine steadfastly refuses to bring up a meaningful print dialog. I've gone into system.reg and win.ini and removed all the entries relating to the printing system, to no avail. Wine sort of recognises that there is a printer named "Color" managed by CUPS, but it cannot get any kind of properties for it - no paper size, no queue, and any attempt to accept the dialog is either ignored or results in a fault. This is with a CVS pull and clean rebuild as of 30 minutes ago. Where do I go from here?

CallNextHookEx16 strageness
by Michael Stefaniuc July 27, 2002

July 27, 2002

Hello, while trying to convert HHOOK to a void* i found this strangeness: CallNextHookEx16 expects its first parameter to be a real HHOOK, that means it checks the HIWORD of the HHOOK to see it it contains 'HK' if (HIWORD(hhook) != HOOK_MAGIC) return 0; /* Not a new format hook */ In wine there are only 2 functions that call CallNextHookEx16, one is DefHookProc16, the other is ShellHookProc16. The first one calls CallNextHookEx16 with first parameter queue->hCurHook (an HANDLE16), the second one with WH_SHELL (the number 10). This parameters gets implicitly transformed to a HHOOK and will have their HIWORD set to 0, thus CallNextHookEx16 will always fail and return 0. I don't know what the right fix would be, I'm seeing two possibilities: - remove in CallNextHookEx16 the check if (HIWORD(hhook) != HOOK_MAGIC) return 0; - or transform in DefHookProc16 and ShellHookProc16 the first parameter passed to CallNextHookEx16 to a real HHOOK with the HIWORD set to 'HC' Comments? bye michael -- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 System Administration Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH Email: mstefani(a)redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart
