RedHat rpms
by Bill Medland Feb. 8, 2007

Feb. 8, 2007

Just checking I'm looking to see if there are rpms being built for Red Hate Enterprise Linux 3 these days. I see that the Red Hat rpms nowadays are for fc. but they aren't suitable for RHEL3 The download page says that the RedHat/Fedora area is for RedAht 8,9 and fedora, but I don't see any RedHat 8 or 9 there. Are they not there or am I looking in the wrong place? -- Bill Medland

Getting Fallout 2 to work well
by Joonas Koivunen Feb. 8, 2007

Feb. 8, 2007

Hello everyone! Recently I tried fallout2 again, and for some reason it has again started working with wine. I searched the archives and it seems there have been lots of times when it has worked and then again hasn't.. Glad to see I'm not the only one interested in it :) >From what I gathered from old postings, there had mainly been issues with mouse input, from which I at least don't suffer. Nor are there any more reports (appdb at least) of it not working with the latest 0.9.30. The problem I have is that fallout2.exe takes all the available CPU power, optimizing that might make other old games work better too. I'm interested in the task, though I haven't got much of an idea how GDI or DirectDraw api's work and I'd need some pointers where to start solving this problem. Game taking all of available CPU doesn't make it unplayable. It just makes mouse movement jerky and overall feeling is that my computer (amd athlon xp 1800+) is too slow :) AFAIK minimum requirements for this game were something like P90 with 16MB ram :) Some "features" like fading to black and white (going to menu for example) are simply missing (these were in use a while ago, with older wine). The rendering of animations slows down (in the combat mode) if the animation happens to be under the animated cursor. I have tried Thunderbirds (from #winehq @ freenode.net) patch, which when rendering with opengl uses pixel shaders to do 8bit->32bit conversion. It resulted in a bit more sluggish (compared to GDI) game play experience. Profiling with oprofile (GDI session) shows that most of the time is used in the game (I suppose it's the "anon" from wine-preload), next most time consuming is winex11 drivers X11DRV_DIB_SetImageBits which seems to be doing the conversion. I have included a bit cleaned version of opreport -l, only the first 40 lines. Any help would be appreciated. -- -- Joonas Koivunen

Re: [GDI32] Fix for GetTextExtentExPointW() and ExtTextOutW() - Fixes Bug 50

Unsigned what? int/long/dword? Vitaliy.

IE Dev Toolbar now compatible!
by Darryl Dixon Feb. 8, 2007

Feb. 8, 2007

Hi All, Just a brief to let you know that it looks like Microsoft is finally taking compatability seriously ;) - the new Beta 3 version of the IE Developers Toolbar (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e59c3964-672d-4511…) improves on the previous Beta release by installing and working correctly with wine 0.9.30 with an IE6 'ies4linux' install. In the previous Beta, the 'View DOM' button did not work in wine 0.9.30 - this new version fixes that and adds lots of enhancements. I don't know if this is useful to many here, but it sure is for me, so I thought I'd share. Nice to see Microsoft improving their software to work better with Wine for once (even though I'm sure it's unintentional ;). Keep up the good work, guys. regards, Darryl Dixon Winterhouse Consulting Ltd http://www.winterhouseconsulting.com

NO. The DCOM spec says that STDOBJREF::cPublicRefs is unsigned, therefore the ref counts can be assumed to be up to MAXULONG. Therefore, this change is incorrect and it would lead to subtle signedness errors. > > Casting ULONG* to LONG* to solve the above problem is unnecessary. > -- Rob Shearman

Re: msi: Make MsiInstallProduct conformance test depend on proper UI level processing.

Why not change 'int' simply to 'unsigned'? -- Dmitry.

Undoc. comctl32 mem management functions
by Felix Nawothnig Feb. 7, 2007

Feb. 7, 2007

Hi. comctl32 exports (undocumented) Alloc() and friends which call LocalAlloc => GlobalAlloc => HeapAlloc since it's doesn't use any fancy LMEM / GMEM flags... so shouldn't Alloc() call HeapAlloc() directly? If Global/Local* behave different than Heap* on Windows - wouldn't it then be desirable to replace the Alloc()/etc. calls in our comctl32 (we use it all over the place) by Heap*? Reason I'm asking: Since it's not documented the Free(NULL) semantics are not clear (although it's safe in our implementation) - and I'm wondering if we really want to internally use undocumented functions with unclear semantics when there is an easy (documented) way. And besides - the comctl32 code is full of "if(p) Free(p);"... Felix
