Thanks for the answer, it works nice. Is it possible to select the fullscreen resolution as on MS windows ? ie: if I run 1024*768 for the desktop, can I open a fullscreen at a higher resolution ? If yes, how could I find by a little program what resolutions are available for this session and offer the user the choice ? Thanks.

Hello, Is there a mean to start an app fullscreen with a different resolution than the desktop ie: my desktop is 1024*768 and I would like to start a fullscreen app (without window border) in the same or higher resolution. Also how could I find the available - supported resolutions for the graphic card and the screen ? Thanks a lot for help and all my best wishes for the new year.

Yes, I have tried all possible options. The best I got is the app segfault. What is the difference between opening a console and typing the app name (this works) and try to launch from the desktop icon in a console. Is it the same "K/console" and the same environment ? Thanks Some time later: Find the problem: As I tried also as root(su), one file in the directory caused the problem. Removing this file( a log) lets the app start smoothly. Thanks a lot to all of you.

Yes, this doesn't work. If I open a konsole, cd to the directory where the app reside, type the name of the binary then it runs fine: it opens it's window and all is fine. As soon as I try anything else, the apps starts but stops quite immediatly without opening any window. By the way what is the way to open a konsole and send it a command to start the app from a script ? Thanks.

It's a linux compiled application, not a "wine windows exe" Thanks.

Hello, I have an application that starts fine from a konsole. The app is an executable. I've tried a lot of kde things but the only thing I get working is the konsole start or the app starts but very quickly disapeared. The app is a opengl graphic one and runs in it's own X session (or a gl viewport). The konsol e icon changes to a big X. Could someone help me ? Thanks a lot.

A friend is porting a commercial windows app to linux and is the developper and owner of the windows app. There is not at all any reverse engineering. He wants to know if the app links to some open source libs (glibc, openal, ..) he can sell his app without publishing the source code and keep the same licencing as the windows app. Thanks a lot for clear info.

Is the libusb going to be a standard ? Thanks.

Hi scarecrow, thanks for your reply. But I love to live dangerously The cable is very well found by linux as a joystick with 7 channels and 6 buttons, jstest works well. So for the kernel side things are good. In the sim running log I see that it tries to access the usb port, then tries to find a joystick. The first faills, so the other also. If I could configure wine so the sim finds the usb port i'll be able to see if the reading from the dongle works, but I can't find info on how to do so. In order to see where is the problem, I run step by step to be sure the basics are correctly setup and see where it is broken. In the case I'm testing, the latest wine snapshot incorporates all the directx patches, so we don't need to patch it anyway. That's good news. For the dongle, it's just a question af accessing the usb chip and read something from it, just as if it were a disk, not an extraterrestrian thing and very doable technically. Following your experience,I've removed the version I compiled and installed the 20050310 wine-full from mdk. With 20050310 the screen get flicking 3 or 4 times before displaying the initial panel. With the latest, the scren doesn't flick any more. At least in that domain, there is an improvement. (that doesn't mean at all there is no regression from 20050310 B) ) Searching about wine on the net, I've seen tha usb support is not yet available. So that freezes the problem for some time .... Thanks.

Hello, I've compiled the latest wine that was announced to support directx. I've installed my scale model simulator: IPACS Aerofly Pro deluxe. The installer tooks quite 5 hours to finish and it installed directx9. The sim starts just fine and I can see the animation running smoothly. NICE !!!! That's very promizing. Thanks to wine developpers. Now I get just a problem: The sim uses an USB dongle/cable to connect to the Radio control set and avoid piracy. How could I get the USB port reachable ? I can't fin on the net a mean to get it configured. Winecfg doesn't (yet) allow the usb config, and winetools are not yet at that wine's level. Could someone tell me what to set in config/reg ? The cable is well recognized by Linux, result of tail /var/log/syslog: Aug 9 23:33:04 localhost kernel: usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 Aug 9 23:33:04 localhost kernel: input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [iPACS Ikarus Interface] on usb-0000:00:1d.2-1 Aug 9 23:33:04 localhost hal.hotplug[17172]: DEVPATH is not set Thanks a lot for help.

Thanks for the answer, but this doesn't cure the problem. I suspect there is something wrong at init time. Xfdrake and/or hardrake don't set up the mouse with the mm kernel. Here are the diffs from syslog in both cases: No mouse: (boot 2.6.11-9.mm.6mdk) --------- Aug 3 12:03:21 localhost rc: Lancement de dkms : succeeded Aug 3 12:03:21 localhost service_harddrake[5134]: ### Program is starting ### Aug 3 12:03:22 localhost service_harddrake[5134]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/kernel Aug 3 12:03:23 localhost service_harddrake[5134]: created file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/previous_hw Aug 3 12:03:23 localhost harddrake: succeeded ********************************************************** Mouse working ( boot 2.6.11-6mdk): -------------- Aug 3 12:17:38 localhost rc: Lancement de dkms : succeeded Aug 3 12:17:39 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: ### Program is starting ### Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/kernel Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: added MOUSE: |ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: running: /sbin/modprobe usbhid Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/mouse Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: symlinked file input/mice to /dev/mouse Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: removed files/directories /etc/X11/xinit.d/auxmouse_buttons Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: removed files/directories /etc/X11/xinit.d/xpad Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: moved file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: moved file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.old Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: removed files/directories /etc/X11/XF86Config Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: symlinked file xorg.conf to /etc/X11/XF86Config Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: created file /etc/X11/xorg.conf Aug 3 12:17:46 localhost cups: Démarrage de cupsd succeeded Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: created file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/previous_hw Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost harddrake: succeeded The file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/kernel contains in both cases: KERNEL=2.6 The file "/etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/previous_hw" is very different: Mouse not working: pst01234pci_device 3pci_function SERIAL_USB ion 0XMaxendor snd-intel8x0iption 0nction DISPLAY_VGA 2356:65535:65535 Driver (IPv4-over-1394 as per RFC 2734) Mouse working: pst01234driverdriverdrivermedia_typeÛ$vendor PCIus& er34) So there is a big problem about hardware detection at kernel load/init time. How could I investigate further ? Thanks.

I'm running mandriva LE 2005 with kernel-multimedia-win4lin-2.6.11-9.mm.6mdk-1-1mdk and suddently thje mouse is not enabled. In dmesg I see "service harddrake removed MOUSE" at boot. I've tried with the control panel hardware config to re-define the mouse but to noavail. When I installed win4lin it worked nice. The hardware is well functionning (dual boot win$) and also if I boot with the basic kernel 2.6.11-6 . I've tried to remove and reinstall the mmedia kernel, but the mouse still doesn't work with it. How could I get the mouse to work with the mmedia kernel ? Thanks for help.

Not at all, I removed all goodies before kdebase, but this trashed the logon app (hadn't been completely removed ? ) with a mouse freeze and keyboard not responding. I couldn't even get gnome. So that's why I had to reinstall the system. It's not a major problem since I have /home and my data on separate partitions, and the mdk system install time is around 3 beers and a half. Now I will wait (resist) until bugs are corrected. Thanks.

That's what I had to do. , but I had to reinstall the system because removing kde base and the "everything else" broke too many things. Thanks a lot.

Hello, I've updated kde to 3.4.0 from the mdk servers and urpmi. Now the kde mediamanager refuses to start. If I try to start the service, it says impossible to start ! (but not why ...). Is it a known problem or did I miss something ? Thanks for help.
