Open source drivers for (S)ATA and VESA
by Timo Kreuzer 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hi, I just found some interesting stuff: Universal ATA driver (http://alter.org.ua/soft/win/uni_ata/) - generic NT driver for DMA/UDMA ATA / SATA with source code Universal VESA driver - based on ReactOS vbemp.sys - works on all windows NT and ReactOS the author has been working on this until very recently, so it might be better than our current driver Timo

State of 0.3.3
by Colin Finck 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hello, As you probably saw, I recently rebranched 0.3.3 and made some changes to it. Now I'm at the point, where *I* think that it's ready. I don't know if anyone else has any specific plans for 0.3.3, so I'm just asking here now. Otherwise, I think we could simply release the current branch as RC2 or even REL. But also if we release it as RC2 now, what are the plans for the REL version then? Please also think of our planned 2-month release cycle. I know that these are just estimated dates, where users *can* expect a release and I myself said this a couple of times as well, but we already skipped 0.3.2, so we shouldn't miss the "deadline" for 0.3.3 now. Regards, Colin

Hello, I don't want to make problems in any way but... is it possible to make the titles of the emails a bit shorter when it could be done? Some of them are really difficult to read and, in my opinion, the body of the email exists for writing more detailed explanations. Sincerely, Carlo Bramini

ReactOS and Sound cards.

Hi, How much work would it take to support a soundcard in ReactOS? I would like to use it to help me reverse engineer a sound card to get it working in Linux. Kind Regards James

Benoit Papillault has taken on the task of the PE program loader. Francois Asselin sent me a response indicating he doesnt currently have time to work on the schedular due to his studies. Perhaps he should move to the inactive list. An attempt to send mail to Iwan Fatahi's mail account bounced. Iwan, if you're there, perhaps you can let me know if you're working on anything, and let the webmaster know your current email address. I've been sending messages to various people on the kernel members listing asking for status on their piece of the system. If I do not get a responce after three tries I'll assume that person is busy for the time being, send the info to the appropriate lead and remove their name from the status report.

It makes anyone doing a diff have more stuff to have to workaround. There are constantly minor updates and fixes to the unicode tables in Wine because Microsoft did not just generate them from the uncode.org spec but added a bunch of stuff. Wine currently builds on OS X with the header order as it stands and figures out someway around it. I guess its using a define in the makefile for _WCHAR_T generated by configure or something. I have not looked so don't quote me on that. I don't really care if you want to change it to make it less of a hassle to build on OS X for ReactOS but its just going to break again next time someone syncs the unicode lib so its better if you can work around it in the makefile. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [fireball] 28448: - Allow pci read/writes during proving BAR's size operation
by Aleksey Bragin 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi, sorry - no, this is an olpc-specific code in olpc branch, I have to emulate some PCI hardware (the code is taken from Linux), however ReactOS's PCI access is more complicated, and thus I slightly improved the code. As for that crash - hmm. I will try the real hardware today maybe. WBR, Aleksey Bragin. On Aug 22, 2007, at 7:31 AM, James Tabor wrote: > Hi! > Could this be related to 28448?

Hi! Could this be related to 28448? I mean could it fix this? The buffer address goes down from 8XXXXX to 3fffff (yes backwards, I watch it) and faults. This fault was before 28448 and on real hardware. Display is normal and mouse moves.
