First time trying Wine. Host is Ubuntu 8.10; I installed Wine 1.0.1 from Synaptic. I'm impressed! My wife has a set of "Nancy Drew" games she'd like to play. They install fine, and seem to play, but if the mouse ever goes outside the Wine virtual desktop window, the game crashes and the following Windows-style dialog box is displayed: Code: FastBltNoTrans() - err ret =

Hi all! Short: Concerning 3D sound effects in games (3D positional and echo etc. effects), what's the state of things in Wine? Long: I don't know how Windows is handling 3D sound since I didn't play in Windows for ages. Searching on the net I found that it seems that dsound handles positional as well as other (echo etc.) effects, possibly accelerated in hardware. Quickly looking

Hi, I enabled dir_index on a filesystem and dumpe2fs -h also reports this. My understanding is that this will be used for newly created directories and that old directories can be indexed using "fsck.ext2 -D". Two questions: - Is there a way to tell is a given directory is indexed or not? - Is there a better way to index the root fs than to boot off a live CD? Best, Norbert

Hi, I have a machine running under CentOS 3.4 which I want to upgrade to CentOS 4. I booted using the CentOS 4 CD1 using "linux upgradeany". Problem is that loading sata_via never terminates. Ismod shows the sata_via module in state "Loading" while all others are in state "Live". The dmesg output shows that the module gets loaded, sees two disks, then prints info

Hi, For some (most?) games the screen edges are used for scrolling/turning, etc. Running them in Wine is no problem in full-screen, but in Windowed mode the mouse just moves off, and if the mouse has been 'jerked' fast enough, it is left within the window some distance away from the screen edge. Meaning the window doesn't scroll/your character doesn't turn. Is there any way for

Greetings, I've used wine for several years now, but I've never really gotten involved with development so I'm not sure how or even where this would need to go. I've found a regression in the latest (as of 1-1-09) git of wine; alsa sound doesn't appear to work. It did work from a version of wine I had cloned from git about a week earlier. It also works fine in 1.1.11 release.

Hi all! I recently got an ATI Radeon HD 3850 card and now noticed that with the fglrx driver many games that look well in AppDB do not run properly on this hardware (Supreme Commander ingame: flickering static garbage, Prince of Persia SoT has several issues that completely garble ingame graphics). Older games (not using shaders among other things) seem to run fine - need to do more testing
