Hi,
I upgraded to VMware 6.5.0 this morning and overlay tests are run now on my W2K3 box. As the return value indicates E_NOTIMPL I decided to add a skip() for one particular test.
VMware is not a valid test platform for ddraw.
And how would you like to approach that? Most of us run tests on some piece of virtualization software. Should we check for VMware and don't run d3d8/9/10 and ddraw tests anymore at all? We do want to have a green test.winehq.org after all.
I agree that we shouldn't use VMware as a valid test platform for ddraw but as long as the skips are kept to a minimum can't we live with that?
(What would have happened with the patch when I wouldn't have mentioned VMware?)
Actually as of 6.5 of VMWARE direct draw 9c is 100% supported. So why couldn't we use vmware 6.5 as a valid platform for testing direct draw api's?
