Re: [PATCH 1/3] winedos: better MSCDEX emulation
by Petr Tesarik April 10, 2006

April 10, 2006

Hi everyone, has this patch been rejected? If so, could anyone tell me why? Yes, I know that neither the API, nor the include files are ideal yet, but fixing it would produce a really huge patch, which is AFAIK something you don't like at all. Anyway, with this patch and my other patches applied (including one to the Linux kernel, which was accepted in 2.6.15), I can now run Kindler Literaturlexikon with Wine. And I'd enjoy adding that application to the appdb.

Patch submission
by n1iic Jason Greene April 10, 2006

April 10, 2006

Greetings. I am a new Linux user, and I would like to request a patch addition to add functionality for a game. The information can be found at http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php/Running_Continuum_under_Wine I think for the people that want to learn Linux, applying the patch is a great exercise, like I found. Unfortunately, it is long and involved and might scare off those that have less confidence or don't have a guru handy, but still want to try. I originally sent this to the wine-patches list and the owner recommended that I send it here. Thanks Jason

Wine tarball patched with DDraw/DX7 over WineD3D patches
by Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes April 10, 2006

April 10, 2006

I have made a tarball with Wine CVS patched with the DirectDraw/DirectX 7 over WineD3D patches so it is easier to test/use. Feel free to link to the page. http://www.thehandofagony.com/alex/wine-wd3dp/ The patches fixes the redrawing problems for Warlords Battlecry, and the animations in Stronghold: Crusader are now smooth instead of jerky. Screenshot from Warlords Battlecry http://appdb.winehq.org/screenshots.php?appId=2686&versionId=3913 Regards, Alexander N. Sørnes

DDraw over WineD3D - Indexed colour visuals
by Adam Luchjenbroers April 10, 2006

April 10, 2006

I've been using and tracking Stefan Dossinger's work re: DDraw over WineD3D and decided try and find out if IWineD3DSurface was far enough along to be able to be used in place of IWineX11Surface for 2d applications (Hopefully to eliminate depth conversion issues). Short answer, no. Long answer, Screen displays blank, trace log shows that glReadPixels at line 615 in wined3d\surface.c (LockRect) is failing with error GL_INVALID_OPERATION. Further investigation reveals that this is because glFormat is GL_COLOR_INDEX, yet the display is an RGB visual (presumably because an indexed colour visual was not available, and this buffer is connected directly to the screen). I figured I'd look to the people already familiar with the WineD3D\DDraw codebase before I tried to figure out my own solution. -- "Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so." - Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

DirectX 7

Hi folks, I am not up-to-date with the latest DirectX news, can someone please tell me if we have any support for DirectX 7? I have a screensaver (Marine Aquarium) that I would like to run, but it requires DirectX 7. Is there any trick to get it to run? Thanks! -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

The text in the input field is not displayed correctly any more. But in the textarea it gets displayed correct again. I uploaded a screenshot at http://hebbelabi06.de/derive.png. Sadly I do not have the time to investigate this at the moment. I do have fontforge installed: # rpm -qa | grep fontforge fontforge-20050803-2 HTH Felix Möller
