Hi all,
I remember seeing an email that someone had implemented DX mouse input
using the new XInput2 extensions. What's the status of that? Is it in
Wine already?
Cheers,
Luke.
What John said!
But just to be clear: only Alexandre has git commit power.
The rest of us have to send patches to wine-patches
and keep improving them until he relents and admits that
perhaps they're worthy of inclusion. :-)
Also, we tend not to worry too much about having
bugs assigned. There are so many available that
there is seldom any real duplication of effort.
Are there any areas in particular you're interested in?
If not, one great way to start is to look at bugs with
keyword 'download' that have not been changed in > 90 days,
see if you can reproduce the problem with
current wine from git, and append your
test results (either "bug still present in git" or "works for me with git")
as a comment.
And once you've done a few of those, maybe you'll see
one you can actually try to fix. Not every wine bug is hard.

Hi,
For some weeks I have been working on moving more 2D rendering to
XRender. XRender has three advantages for Wine. First of all it allows
us to perform more rendering operations using X which we previously
did using a combination of software rendering and back-forth copying
between the Xserver. Second XRender offers depth conversion (this
gives us proper alpha support in Wine and allows us to bypass DIB
color conversion in some cases!). Third XRender brings us more
hardware acceleration and that way more performance.
The patch attached to this thread adds support for dibsections in
additional color depths. On Xservers running at 24-bit this patch
offers us dibsections in 1-bit/15-bit/16-bit/24-bit/32-bit. (32-bit is
for proper alpha support) Big parts of the Wine X11 Driver make
assumptions about having only two color depths around (1-bit and
screen_depth e.g. 24-bit). I would like to request that people apply
the current patch to latest git (in combination with the Office2007
patch which I posted to wine-patches). Please report any 2D rendering
issues you see and also mention possible Wine crashes due to X errors
like BadMatch. Try as much programs as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Roderick Colenbrander
Hi.
Yesterday I attached a patch to fix longstanding bug
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3231 .
It fixes this issue, and I hope doesn't produce any new ones. Now I need
to test it on
a wide range of applications you use every day.
If you spotted any new issues after it please let me know.
Here's a direct link to attachment:
http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22742
Patch should be applied on top of wine-1.1.26-232-g39876f4.
