[AppDB] Resend: Fix typos and grammatical errors on test result pages
by "Alexander N. Sørnes" 27 May '06

Is there any reason why this patch was rejected? I am not used to sending AppDB patches, so please let me know if there is something wrong with it. This patch fixes some typos reported by Rich, and a few grammatical errors I found while fixing it. Regards, Alexander N.

patch submission
by EA Durbin 27 May '06

27 May '06

Is there any way to expedite the patch submission process. I submitted a patch to wine-patches quite a while ago for the AppDB TestResulsts.php page as outlined in bug 5155. How long does this take to implement?

InstallFiles() MSI
by EA Durbin 27 May '06

27 May '06

I forgot to assign my previousDiskID Last Sequence in the last example, which is the most important part. it should be fairly easy to rewrite the installer to work the correct way and Install the files in the correct order. This should also make it feasable to write the Disk Prompt and have it in the right location as it will traverse the Install media in the correct order. I'm going to work on it this weekend some time, but I'll need help cleaning up my code to make it wine worthy as this will be my first attempt at a patch. Here is some pseudo code, explaining how I think it should work. Let me know if I'm wrong or you have any suggestions. In InstallFiles() it will need to execute step 1 and create the folders as it currently does. Then for step 2 do the following - 1. initialize the DiskId to 1. Initialize the previous diskId-lastSequence to 0. 2. Query the total number or DiskIds from the media table. 3. Loop through DiskId until Total Disk Id is reached. foreach ( DiskId ) { select * from media where DiskId == DiskId initialize LastSequence to that of LastSequence column in Media Table cabinet = cabinet column print out, changing media to "Name of Cabinet" - Disk Prompt Here for the current DiskId check to make sure the lastSequence is > previous diskId sequence if ( lastSequence < previousDiskIdSeq ) { skip this install media next DiskId } else { Here call a function to iterate current install Medium IterateInstallMedia(LastSeq, cabinet); --in this function select * from file table where Sequence < lastSequence order by Sequence then iterate through the file table for the current install medium and extract the files from the cabinet and copy files. } previous-DiskIDSequnce = LastSequence. DiskId++; }

d3d "regression suite"
by Louis. Lenders 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hi, i got a bit tired of testing all the samples from DX8 SDK, and www.codesampler.com and more , over and over again, so i'll try to put them all together in one 'automated' suite. Here's first attempt with about 15 samples from DX8 SDK: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=check_download&ufid=6E564CD823… I recompiled the samples so they will run for about 3 secs (one takes a lot more time) Goal is to look for regressions: if samples start crashing i can search the log for unhandled page faults, and if samples throw up messageboxes , the suite will just stop. For visual regressions you'd just have to watch them :(. By hitting escape you can walk through the samples just quickly, if you do nothing it takes about 2 minutes to rush through the samples. I'll add codesamplers dx8 samples next, any additions from others appreciated! (to test just do sh test.sh). If others find it usefull i can put it up somewhere else... --------------------------------- Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail . "The New Version is radically easier to use" The Wall Street Journal

bug irony - bug in firefox or xorg
by EA Durbin 26 May '06

26 May '06

While browsing the bug database I discovered a bug, in which my x server crashes when i use the side horizontal scrollbar in firefox. I was browsing this attachment in firefox http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=2517&action=view Can anyone replicate this bug?, I'm not sure whether to submit this bug to firefox or xorg. It crashes at the same point every time, when I try to use the horizontal scrollbar on this page. I opened firefox in the console and output the text to a file, upon logging back in to x i opened this file and had a message saying firefox lost the x session. I don't know if the bug resides in firefox or X?

Multiple copies of a single message...

Someone long ago asked for a copies of email msgs (from the list) which repeats in a row. Now I've got ~7 of them from Jason Green addressed for wine-devel@. (2nd of them deleted before I saw the rest) Now, may the masters of email administration look at the attached stuff and find out the reason for this is happening? Please somebody :)

The problem is that will break for cards who don't support 24-32 bits frame buffers. You must add a fallback for 16 bits : - try GLX_RGBA,GLX_DEPTH_SIZE, 24, GLX_STENCIL_SIZE, 8, GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER - if failed try GLX_RGBA,GLX_DEPTH_SIZE, 16, GLX_STENCIL_SIZE, 8, GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER - if failed try GLX_RGBA,GLX_DEPTH_SIZE, 16, GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER > >Thanks, > >Wino Raphael
