Drowning in FIXMEs...

[Chris Rankin]

Hi,

I am almost running an old DOS-based application using
wineconsole, but I am constantly being bombarded by
FIXME messages from the DOSVM's Int33 calls for "Show
mouse cursor" and "Hide mouse cursor".

I have tracked the relevant code down to
dlls/winedos/int33.c, but don't know how the DOSVM
displays the mouse cursor. There must be a link
somewhere between the coordinates in the mouse_info
structure and the X11 display. Can anyone help me out
here, please?

Thanks,
Chris

SetConsoleCursorInfo would do (if you're running the program under 
wineconsole).

/******************************************************************************
 * GetConsoleWindow [KERNEL32.@]
 */
HWND WINAPI GetConsoleWindow(VOID)
{
    FIXME("stub\n");
    return NULL;
}

It looks like I'll need to
implement this stub first. (I think...) Does anyone
have any suggestions, please?

Thanks,
Chris

no this returns the handle to the window (in USER32) which contains the 
console. WHat you need is a handle to the console itself (in fact its 
current output buffer). Check out the content of vga.c (in 
dlls/winedos), you have most of the code you need.
However, int33 mouse hide/show should cooperate with the vga layer.

OK, here's a first draft at a patch. Created with
reference to my old copies of Ralph Brown's Interrupt
List.

Cheers,
Chris
