Thanks every one that have tested Here is the result 1. Cretesurface does not working for nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M and GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM) 2. Small problem for Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME surface lost Here is list on graphic card that is working Ati Radon 9200SE Ati Radeon 9600 Ati Radeon 9600 Mobility Ati Rage 128 NVidia GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra I need to figout why it does not working for alex but it is working for Tim Jobling when it comes to nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M. I got a idea why it does not working for Alex is using DVI and we do not provide the VideoPort struct as we should. That maybe is the main problem for alex. Thanks everone it seam few got some problem I can continue to write in ddraw.dll now. and I will try take care of CreateSurface problem. Next test will be 1-2 week. and it has the bltblt implement u will see a green surface then if everthing goes well. if get bad with time again it will take longer time to take care of this. and the next test will be delay.

Of course. You just test any part of ReactOS you want, and if something doesn't work as expected, report your findings. In the case of Alex's request for WS2_32, you report findings for what does work as well as what doesn't.

Final WS2.2 Binary Release
by Alex Ionescu 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, After more reports from some users, I have implemented 6 new functions which were in use by many popular programs. Although much of the DLL is still unimplemented, the remaining calls are mostly for highly advanced behaviour which would be seen in either spyware of winsock firewalls, or for deprecated 16-bit support or highly unusual APIs. Since those aren't a priority right now and I haven't been able to find any application using them right now, I've chosen this version to be the "code freeze" version, which will be committed later. With the new functions (thanks to Jirka and David for finding the apps), Opera now works, as well as SmartFTP and probably a lot more applications. Here is the updated compatibility list that I've made: Firefox, Opera, Filezilla, Thunderbird, IE 6, OE 6, Azureus, Microsoft Terminal Services Client, Skype, Google Talk, World of Warcraft, MIRC, XChat, MSN Messenger, SmartFTP. This list is satisfactory to me, as it includes almost all the biggest network applications out there. I am now looking for any final showstoppers before focusing on mswsock.dll, so I've posted this mail on the General Mailing List as well, hoping to get more testers. Thanks for testing! Best regards, Alex Ionescu PS. You may notice that the binary is larger then the Microsoft DLL, even though it is less functional. This is because it is a debug version, compiled without optimizations. Revision: 30 Author: Date: 12:30:29 AM, November 1, 2005 Message: - Add UNIMPLEMENTED wherever it was missing. Revision: 29 Author: Date: 12:27:26 AM, November 1, 2005 Message: - Implement WSANtohl, WSANtohs, WSAHtonl, WSAHtons. Opera now works. - Fix some GetNameInfoW to return correct failure. Revision: 28 Author: Date: 4:25:38 PM, October 30, 2005 Message: - Implement WSAStringToAddressA/W. This makes SmartFTP work with IP lookups, but hostname lookup still fail due to bugs in the application itself.
