I'm trying to get the Windows-software for my digital camera to work in wine under Mandrake 8.0 (kernel 2.4.3). Installed wine without errors. Had a look at the ~/.wine/config and it looked ok for me. The part concerning the serial ports: [serialports] "Com1" = "/dev/ttyS0" "Com2" = "/dev/ttyS1" "Com3" = "/dev/ttyS2" "Com4" = "/dev/modem" Then I started the installer from the Toshiba-CD and installed the software for my Toshiba PDR-M5. It's not supported by gphoto (nor by gphoto2) so I am trying to get this windows-software running. The software installed ok. I start it and when I get to the configuring dialog for the serial port I chose Com1: and automatic speed detection. When I ckick on OK I get this error message in the xterm I started it from: fixme:comm:SetupComm insize 4096 outsize 4096 unimplemented stub The program's messagebox tells me that there is no connection to the camera. When I close the complete program I get this message in my xterm: fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub I checked permissions of /dev/ttyS0 and I also played around with various options (trying other com ports in the Toshiba program, trying different speeds for the serial port, trying different options with setserial). Nothing changed a bit. I'm doing all this as root to avoid permission probs. I read a lot of messages about serial ports and wine on google.com but nothing really hit (apart from that one message, telling that direct access of serial ports is a nogo in wine). Any idea? wobo

After installing the Jul/12 build of wine the serial port worked ... but I'm not sure if this version is very stable. Hope this helps, Berni.
