[Wine Documentation] GDB Help
by Andrew Look March 15, 2009

March 15, 2009

Hello Wine Developers, Besides the winedbg --gdb mode, I found a way to run gdb directly on wine. I figured all or part of this text file I'm included could be appended to section 1.8 of the Wine documentation where other debuggers are discussed. Thanks, Andrew Look

no test data was lost. it is all in the new link. i already stated the comments got lost and i'm sorry for that, i thought appdb would copy them too. and that's why i asked for the EQ maintainers to step up to be EQ2 maintainers. i apologize for the missing comments, again. 2009/3/15 John Beaulieu <john.beaulieu(a)comcast.net> > Hey, you caused comments, data, and maintainers to be removed.

It still works, that much demonstrates there's nothing actually "wrong". /usr/bin/../lib/../bin is the same as /usr/bin, it's just a bit roundabout. The ".." directories mean "go to the parent directory". Regardless, I've CC'd wine-devel in case it can be cleaned up.

How to enable font anti-aliasing in Wine?
by Roderick Colenbrander March 15, 2009

March 15, 2009

Hi, This weekend I was reading the 'Dutch slashdot' (tweakers.net) about Wine 1.1.17 and a user was wondering when Wine would finally support font anti-aliasing. I said we have been supporting this for ages. I also thought I was using it on my own Debian system. When asking more and more users about it in #winehackers (Chris, Detlef, Marcus, Stefan ..) only Stefan had it working on a Wine 1.1.0 build he still had around on his system (he didn't have a newer normal Wine copy) on his Gentoo. Further nobody on Debian, Fedora, Gentoo or Suse had it working except someone on a old 1.0 Wine. For the record when anti-aliasing is around Winecfg should look like: http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0526822/winecfg.png (this on Stefan his 1.1.0). What is so special about Wine why anti-aliasing isn't working for most users? (it could be a regression) In Stefan his case it started working after installing a Windows tahoma.ttf. What is so special about this font? A modern Linux system has dozens or hundreds of fonts installed and both GNOME/KDE can use each font AA'ed without issues. Roderick -- Psssst!

by Mirek Slugeň March 15, 2009

March 15, 2009

Hi, Fallout 3 and maybe other games or D3D apps needs such special settings, this patch should be ok, it is well tested. This patch is not hack! New wine registry settings: VideoDriver VideoDescription Patch is for current (14.03.2009) git. PS: For Fallout 3 you should use registry settings (or similar): "VideoDescription"="NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT" "VideoDriver"="nv4_disp.dll" Mirek Slugen

It looks like the comment "Second package: SChannel" is not correct. At least in the case of W2K3. I'm not sure if we need more checks (like Name)? -- Cheers, Paul.

@Stefan Dösinger: > The if check isn't that correct either. Its correct, because gl_info <http://source.winehq.org/ident?i=gl_info>->max_vertex_samplers in my case is 32. I think it is really enough to fix the Message.
