Re: [Ql-Users] QPC and WIne
Actually I was going to write something about this yesterday, too. Wine 1.0 has been released a week ago and my tests so far were pretty promising. It worked very well, even though I was only able to check it out from work over a remote connection, i.e. the PC running QPC was 10km away! Still it was fully usable and responsive, keyboard entries being no problem at all. So I suggest anybody who wants to run QPC under Linux should check out the final 1.0 Wine release. By the way, using Wine I discovered a problem with the QPC_WINDOWSIZE routine, I suggest to not use that command until I do the next release, at least under Wine. It's a pretty tricky bug and under Windows the situation might be just a tad different as to not be a problem at all. Cheers, Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

[Ql-Users] QPC and WIne
A very good evening to one and all, well now, here's a turn up for the books - and a god one at that. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth recently trying to get QPC to run under Linux and Wine, I finally have a working QPC, none of that nasty keyboard repeating problem - so far - and I'm a happy camper once more. All (!) I did was install OpenSuse 11.0, patch to the latest releases etc, installed wine-0.9.64_aka_1.0.rc3-2.1 from the OpenSuse DVD and everything 'just worked'! My settings on startup are as follows : Display Driver = DirecDraw HAL Colour depth : High COlour Resolution : 800 x 600 Window Mode : ticked, 800 x 600 Keep aspect ratio : ticked Foreground Prio : Normal Background Prio : Lowest Memory : 16 MB Country Code : 44 AltGr function : AltGr Everything else is blank, unchecked or not selected - accordingly! I'm soo pleased! I feel a celebratory glass of wine coming on very soon now. Cheers, Norman. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
