RE: [ros-kernel] Pong

Hi Folks: I was a loooong long time away. I was really missing you all. I noticed something strange in my mailbox when I was looking at the dates and saw that October was not there in my ROS folder, that's why the ping. Today I noticed that they are all in the INBOX(it really takes time to clean so much mail and more if it is all mixed). It was a big surprise to read the changelog and see so much advance. Congratulations everyone. Thank's Steven. I'll update my filters.

LinuxWorld Germany
by Steven Edwards 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hello, Could someone that is a native speaker put together a overview of ReactOS in English and German? Jason had a flyer we used at LinuxWorld San Francisco but I am unable to find it. Jason if you still have can you send it to the list so someone can translate? I will print out a few hundred copies when I get there. I am leaving in just a bit. I also have a master CD of the latest CVS that seems to work well for demos that I am going to press to give 100 copies out while there. GvG/Fireball can you burn a CD also just in case something goes wrong with mine? Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

Change in tools/helper.mk

Before this change, the reactos build seems to want to put hal.a in the root for me (which of course my user doesn't own). Should I commit this? Also, why was this changed?

atapi problems
by Ge van Geldorp 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

I'm having problems getting atapi drives recognized. Setup: Primary controller - master: HD HITACHI_DK23AA-60 - slave: CD-ROM COMPAQ CD-224E Secondary controller - master: not connected - slave: not connected First of all, the harddisk is not recognized. The call to AtapiWaitForStatus() in atapi.c line 1159 times out. I can fix this by increasing the timeout in that call from 20000 to 40000 (the harddisk needs a minimum of around 38700 here). After the harddisk is succesfully recognized, detection of the CD-ROM fails. Again, the call to AtapiWaitForStatus in line 1159 times out, but this time no amount of increasing the timeout (I've gone up to 4000000, 40 sec, more than the 30 sec limit in the ATA spec) helps. I've attached the debug log. Note the lines: (atapi.c:1161) Timeout on drive 1 and (atapi.c:992) Unexpected Interrupt, CommandPort=01f0, Status=ff, Count=1 I hope someone more familiar with the atapi driver can take a look at this. Oh, btw, going back to atapi.c rev 48 cures the problem (both HD and CD-ROM are recognized and working then). All help appreciated, Gé van Geldorp.

Setupapi improvements
by eric.kohl＠t-online.de 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hi! I have been working on some improvements to the device installer functions of the setupapi dll. I am able to install class installers on my machine and retrieve information about installed class installers. My plan is to reorganize the setupapi dll in order to add the configuration manager apis to this dll and to convert setupapi to a ReactOS dll. The reason for this change is that additions to the device installer apis or configuration manager apis are not usable by WINE because it does neither support windows drivers nor a PnP-Manager. Of course, all additions to setupapi will be licensed under the LGPL so Wine developers can port useful code as they see fit. What do you think? Regards, Eric

regression tests and reactos/apps/tests
by Steven Edwards 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hello, I am going to move reactos/apps/tests in to rosapps as the current system of tests we have there does not fit in with the ideas of regression testing. I know there might be some objections to this but it is not hard to checkout rosapps or add your own custom test there if you want. We really need to put some effort in to using (And merging the Wine tests in to) the regression system Jason and Casper have developed. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Bug in freetype.dll?
by Hartmut Birr 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hi, sometimes I see a debug messages like this: (mm/npool.c:1641) Trying to allocate 254736304 bytes from nonpaged pool - nothing suitable found, returning NULL (objects/text.c:1832) WARNING: Failed to render glyph! If this occurs the desktop background is flashing white. The big allocation request comes from freetype\src\raster\ftrend1.c line #178. Has anyone an idea what is wrong? - Hartmut

Timers and Scheduler - "What I learned on my fall vacation"
by Steven Edwards 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

Hello, I know we already have a few tests like this in the ReactOS tree but I have not had time to look at all of them or dig in to this at all. I am forwarding part of a message from Jeremy White along with some tests of timers and schedualing in case anyone wants to compare Windows and ReactOS. We ran in to quite a few issues under CrossOver with Office applications and were able to work around them. Even applications such as Internet Explorer are affected. See recent hacky patches on wine-devel for winmm timer resolution. Anyway here is a bit of his notes and the collection of tests if anyone is interested. Thanks Steven ".....Spinning threads get all the cpu they can chew; being in a foreground Window gives a pretty high bias, but otherwise things seem to be evenly spread. Aric did a test program which showed how SetThreadPriority biases things; it tends to be that only priorities -2 through 2,and 15, have any meaning. Further, if threads yield, then only thetop priority threads get any time. If all threads 'work', then there is a stair step effect where high priority threads get 'more', but don't necessarily get it all." _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
