wine users - Mar 2009 - Serial port under Wine

Hi, all!

I need serial port access under Wine. I did all things I had found in forums,
but I have no access.
What went wrong?

-------------------------------------------------------
hm at m-art:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.27-11-generic (buildd at crested) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu
4.3.2-1ubuntu11) ) #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009

hm at m-art:~$ wine --version
wine-1.1.17

hm at m-art:~$ who | grep tty7
hm       tty7         2009-03-28 17:15 (:0)

hm at m-art:~$ ls -all /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2009-03-28 17:14 /dev/ttyS0

hm at m-art:~$ cat /etc/group | grep hm | grep dialout
dialout:x:20:hm

hm at m-art:~$ ls -all ./.wine/dosdevices/ | grep tty
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hm hm   10 2009-03-21 20:20 com1 -> /dev/ttyS0
-------------------------------------------------------

I don't see com1 device in Wine configuration tool, and windOFFs hyperterm
don't show com1 device in list of 'connect using' combo box list.

Thanks!

Look at the archives for for this forum/mailing list for the "Serial
port stopped working under wine!" thread and be sure to read it all
since the last posting contains corrections.

This program is the worst thing to test anything. It never properly worked on
Wine.
It's looking for undocumented entries in the registry. That's why it
can't find ports.
