Hey, Wine is a free software based on the good will of its developper and users.
You're point being what... If its free don't complain if there's problem or ask for advise on how to solve it, or try to participate in getting it fixed the best you can. What because software is distributed via the gpl means that I shouldn't expect support?
If you do not want to do any efforts by finding the culprit, how do you want Wine to improve???
I'm putting a great deal of effort into this. I've reported a problem compiling on x86_64 platform over at Fedora
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489144
I have already prepared the material for a bug report over at NVidia including the screenshot that was provided with the request for advice that occurred previously.
If the bug is not the fault of Wine but Nvidia drivers, you need to report to Nvidia, not to Wine.
This what I'm trying to determine. I have already prepared the material for a bug report over at NVidia.
Otherwise, please do what the writers requested.
The writers have already done it. They know what the problem is and they also know that the patch that is being provided is a workaround. One more person applying the workaround isn't going to help fix the problem.
So again... I'm asking for everyone's thoughts regarding what I'm seeing with the newest drivers? Would it be worthwhile to report this over at NVidia since this problem is directly related to NVidia S3TC support in wine?
If so... will I be dealing with this alone? Will there be anyone one of you guys trying to deal with this with the official releases? etc.. etc...
Please advise...
Eli
