Solidworks Update

by Stephan Rose

I tested Solidworks with 0.9.46 today and fonts seem to be ok now. No more screwed up texts like in the previous versions. So that's a definite improvement. =) Everything else seems to have remained unchanged though. Stephan

I found nothing to complain :-) > My question for the wine developers is, why is Anti Aliasing not supported > for Source based games? As Roderick mentioned AA is a property of the Pixel Format. Due to deeply rooted reasons Wine at startup. It has to choose one before the application can say what it wants, and later on it cannot be changed. Wine first tries a format with all features(except AA) enabled, and then uses less complex formats until it finds one that is supported. To support setting AA from games we'd have to be able to change the format. This is major work in wine's x11 driver, this problem exists since many years. However, there is an easy way to get FSAA support: The driver can override the AA setting requested by the game. If you have an nvidia card, you can configure that in nvidia-settings, on Antialiasing settings page. This way you get FSAA, but you cannot enable / disable it from the game.

OpenGL offers AA itself using the multisample extension. The level of AA is a property of the pixelformat in use for opengl. Due to various reason the number of pixelformats is limited and for that reason games running on Wine don't show AA. This is the case for both OpenGL and Direct3D.

AA under linux is not app-dependant afaik. It's driver dependant, so you'll have to setup your graphics card driver to turn on AA for OpenGL based progs, prior to running the game under WINE. Worked for me, should work for you. -- Best regards Wojciech Arabczyk

Developers may then put hints into the bug as to where to look for next. A good place to start out helping the Wine project by coding is by writing tests for untested APIs. There are also some todo lists on the website that may give you some pointers as to what to code on in order to start learning about the Wine codebase. -- Rob Shearman

I am not quite convinced that Yes, any help is appreciated and you can help as well. > months of work is needed (mainly because corelDRAW version 11 works); > but maybe you know something I do not - the main point of my posting, Dan knows more, but AFAIK the X3 version uses some interfaces which are not implemented yet. That's the problem with quite a few new applications, but in due time they will be supported. Besides that, having past versions of an application working fine under Wine unfortunately has nothing to say about newer versions of that app. Sometimes, application internals change so much that it takes literally a year or more to support a newer version. Look at MS Office for example. One more thing: It may or may not be easier to get CorelDRAW 12 to install and run first, perhaps some of the issues you have to fix there also help for the X3 version. > of course. Largely, I was asking for policy information; i.e., *what* > to do, not *how* to do it, which I feel I can handle. Looking at your first mail, I see you indeed dived into the code and accomplished something. My suggestion would be to post a separate mail (if possible, with a proposed hack/patch) with a descriptive subject for every issue you run into. Such mails are generally replied to more often (because of the descriptive subject) than mails with the subject line of this thread. Another hint: You wrote that you used comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine for questions, however that newsgroup is AFAIK a one-way gateway from mail to news, i.e. 98% of the members of that mailing list did NOT see your message. > Good Luck with the project.
