When debugging an application that crashes after 10 minutes it makes the log very big. If someone is interested in the *Swap*Buffers() functions, he still can enable them, but for the majority of the cases its useless. That was basically the idea. I'll rewrite the patch and split it up, the GLX spec violation thing could be committed without breaking applications, other changes have to be tested first :) tom

Re: Winetools -> wine doors

It appears to be in the final stages of code rot, however This "clusterf*ck of nonsense" helped me to get a microcontroller development suite running under Wine, which otherwise would not install natively. After over ten years designing and developing embedded systems, there is one thing that stands out. Code that is 'nonsense' does not work at all. Code that works may not be elegant, it may not be pretty and you may hate the style, but it _works_ and therefore it is not nonsense. This code works, is useful and serves a purpose. Just because you don't like the way it is written does not make it nonsense. Language, please! John.

The TTSNOTE.FOR font, I found, resides within the application's folder in Program Files and appears to go through this motion every time it starts up. So, my guess is that it goes away after the program closes. I know that on my Win install, the app never permanently moves the font to my system fonts folder. Anybody have a workaround for making this work? Thanks! Hiji __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Wine on FC5

by Kevin DeKorte

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been able to get Wine working on FC5, both from source and from RPM and neither seems to have the smooth font support. Is there some new option that is needed for FC5 support. I had Notes 6.51 working very nice under FC4, but it has some weird drawing issues in FC5. I'm guessing it has something to do with the new xorg packages, but any ideas would be helpful.

Winetools -> wine doors

by Karl Lattimer

I read your story about winetools a couple weeks ago around the same time that I tried using winetools on FC5 test 3, it didn't go well with winetools and I was looking for another solution and couldn't find one that fitted well with my criteria. I started thinking of packages like RPMs and started breaking down a wine application installation into what we would need to run it directly from the application menu. What I came up with this is, its pretty raw right now, its simply a small self contained package for managing the install process of a wine application, soon I'm going to start work on creating a package repository and the package browser but would really like to use the appdb for supplementary information, i.e. screenshots version compatibility etc... http://www.qdh.org.uk/wordpress/?cat=6 I have also considered having a way of making apps install gobally on a machine so any and every user has access to them, and considered using inotify to watch events and provide a way of handling this. This is still in the beginning stages and I would be grateful for any input you may have. I was very interested in what was published here, http://www.winehq.org/?issue=308#Winetools..%20part%20II I've looked through the winetools code and it is a clusterf*ck of nonsense. It appears to be in the final stages of code rot, however there are some useful little bits in there which I have been cannibalising when necessary into my own application. The beauty of this is that it is only an application shell, in theory the appdb could be the central configuration repository containing all the information to make an app work. Available apps can be browsed, downloaded if possible or installed from a cd drive with minimal fuss. I have one other who has joined in the project, his name is Alex Doukas and I believe he has also recently joined wine-devel. Right now we're at the stage of building up some script archives and starting to put together application packs for the most important stuff, I will be working on the downloaders/xml parsers within the next couple of weeks and hopefully we should soon have a working application where the community keeps it up to date. To prevent duplication of work I would suggest that suggestions to my project will be accepted, I hope to provide some public space for bug tracking etc... in the next couple of weeks and even public SVN. I currently have this configured and running but unfortunately do not have a great deal of bandwidth. The more people who join in the better, python programmers especially welcome, any scripts should eventually be posted to the bugzilla. Once the application db and my application fit together nicely we could have users publishing scripts in the appdb.

Re: [opengl] check drawable and context Visual IDs in wglMakeCurrent ()

by Stefan Dösinger

Hi, > maybe it was because of the earlier opengl patch 'Store GL context in > TEB'. But I didn't notice such an increase then.. only from ~20 -> ~30fps Hm. Something increased the speed of half-life / counter strike drastically. It isn't your patch, but some change that is in CVS already. The change is this: Before half-life(non-steam) was running at 40-71 fps, depending on the situation. Now it's runs at 70-71 fps constantly. Counter-Strike 1.6(steam) ran at 60-71 fps before if there were no bots in the game. Adding 8 bots(or maybe human players, didn't check that) made the fps drop to 20 in many rendering situations. Now this doesn't happen any more, the game runs at 60-71 fps in general, only if much players are visible, it may drop down to 30 fps. Jedi academy got a major speed boost too, but that's mostly because I activated compressed textures in the game. Btw, the card is a Radeon Mobility M9, with the dri driver from Xorg 7.0.

What about using the thread_input->keystate, just as for Shift, Control, and NumLock? ToUnicodeEx does have a lpKeyState argument, so to me, it seems very wrong that a static, global variable is needed as well. TranslateMessage calls GetKeyboardState just before ToUnicode. MSDN documents GetKeyboardState as: "The status changes as a thread removes keyboard messages from its message queue." My interpretation is that this means that ToUnicodeEx consider how the modifiers *was* rather then what they *are*. The current implementation has another drawback: AltGr key presses never reaches the applications.

CreateScalableFontResourceA: what does it mean?

by Hiji

There is this program, Cakewalk Sonar XL 2 (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2615) that I always try to run on Wine. The good news is, I can get it running, not smoothly, but it does run. However, it tries to utilize one of its own fonts, and always stubs on CreateScalableFontResourceA. It hits this: fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"C:\\PROG~FBU\\Cakewalk\\SONA~3TJ\\TTSNOTE.FOR","C:\\PROG~FBU\\Cakewalk\\SONA~3TJ\\TTSNOTE.TTR",(null)): stub Then the app tells me the following in a popup: "Cannot create the Staff view musical symbol font." Anybody know what this means or have any workaround for making CreateScalableFontResourceA work? I've seen this problem since Dec. 2004, but since it hasn't gone away, I thought I'd pipe up and ask about it. Thanks in advance!
