I'm sure this was raised before, but why does the AppDB show comments from oldest to newest, not newest to oldest? This ordering makes no sense to me. thanks -mike

Thank you wine developers for allowing me to play the Da Vinci Quest with Firefox and required Flash 8 plugin, not available for Linux. Copy-paste didn't work between wine and Gnome, but everything else was without a hitch! -- Marius Andreiana http://marius.andreiana.googlepages.com

Cursor questions
by Stefan Dösinger May 12, 2006

May 12, 2006

Hi, I noticed that wine always uses it's own mouse cursor image looking like the standard windows cursor. Is there a reason why the X server mouse cursor isn't used? It's only a minor cosmetic issue, but i have wondered what the reason for this is and if it can be fixed. Cheers, Stefan

PBuffer and wglMakeCurrent()
by Tomas Carnecky May 12, 2006

May 12, 2006

In wglMakeCurrent(), when the HDC type is OBJ_MEMDC you activate the frontbuffer for drawing. PBuffers' type is also OBJ_MEMDC, but changing the drawbuffer in that case is wrong. Is there a way to find out if the HDC is a PBuffer? I have some patches in my local tree but I took the freedom to put the X11DRV escape codes to one common header which alexandre doesn't quite like.. In my local tree I have a 'flags' field in X11DRV_PDEVICE which I use to store whether the PBuffer is damaged or not, I don't know if its the right place, but I could add a flag IS_PBUFFER and set it in wglGetPbufferDCARB() and check for it in wglMakeCurrent(). comments? tom

appdb [HeidiSQL]

What's going on with the AppDB? It's really annoying to spend a lot of time testing apps, grabbing screenshots, writing descriptions etc., just to see that nobody approves the applications entered. Can we please drop this entire "approval of new apps" crap? Or just give me proper privileges to approve the applications myself? (I can load the http://appdb.winehq.org/admin/adminAppQueue.php page btw, but the queue always displays 0 items.) PLEASE FIX. THANK YOU.

You can override mmap() in wine by just changing all the places it's called. (Having control over the source is a wonderful thing.) But if you want mmap to behave truly differently, you'd probably need to change the kernel. I seem to recall somebody was working on a linux kernel module for wine that just dealt with program loading, but I can't recall who. Perhaps he'll surface and comment on this. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv
