Nvidia drivers
by Ge van Geldorp 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

We are now able to load the standard NVidia video drivers for at least NVidia Riva TNT2 Model 64 cards, but probably for more Nvidia based cards. The attached file describes how to do that. Jason/Hyperion, can you find space for that information on the website? It doesn't work perfect yet. Not all lines are drawn (check the maze demo), sometimes the mouse cursor is messed up, the hotspot for the mouse cursor is in the wrong place (you need to point down-right of where you want to click) and dragging the cards in Solitaire doesn't work as it should. If you find other issues, please enter them in Bugzilla. Gé van Geldorp.

It is in the ReactOS Projects interest to have a working safedisk driver also so we might be able to work together on something. There has been work at loading Windows filesystem drivers using ReactOS in the past so I dont see safedisk being that big of a deal. http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ Copying the safedisk driver from Windows and loading it in ReactOS should just work as we have the same design microsoft does. Adapting that to work on Linux+ReactOS you would need to talk to Jan. Still the better method is for us to write our own safedisk driver from scratch but I am not sure that this wont violate the DMCA. IMHO the WINE project should adopt the defence the xbox-linux and the ReactOS projects have: "Everything done on this project is for the sole purpose of writing interoperable software under Sect. 1201 (f) Reverse Engineering exception of the DMCA." We will still have the legal battle to fight one day but I think you will win if you reimplement safedisk and use this as your argument. One day WINE, ReactOS and other project are going to get taken to court over the DMCA. This is a given. The question is do you want it to be over this? Is gamming support in WINE and ReactOS important enough to you? Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Changing the resolution of the VMware driver
by Ge van Geldorp 25 Oct '03

25 Oct '03

It's now possible to change the screen resolution of the VMware virtual display driver. You need to change some values in bootdata/hivesys.inf (go to the vmx_svga section, there are some instructions at the bottom of that section) and rebuild the system registry ("make registry" and then copy the system hive to /reactos/system32/config).

Small patch to more
by Timothy Schepens 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

This is a patch to let more use the window size instead of the buffer size. I'm planning to do some more work on the cmd utils, should I integrate some of them in cmd.exe (as in 4nt) or leave them as separate programs.

ReactOS GPL vs. proprietary drivers (affirmation)
by Jan Kratochvil 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Hi, As GPLed Linux-NTFS still has no NTFS r/w capability I completed the project for reliable r/w access in Wine way by using MS-Windows ntfs.sys driver. Captive-NTFS http://www.jankratochvil.net/ My project is GPL-2.0 and it incorporates ReactOS kernel sources currently also carrying GPL-2.0 license. There are rumours GPL may be problem for linking with proprietary code (ntfs.sys&ntoskrnl.exe). I interpret it as GPL only affects _distribution_ of the program while no proprietary code is distributed with my package. Proprietary code is only run-time linked by the end-user. In a GPL-related discussion here two monts ago ReactOS developers were open for reusal of existing proprietary drivers for ReactOS as one of the significant feature of ReactOS. I would like an affirmation from the major ReactOS developers they are not going to try to sue me for releasing Captive NTFS. Thanks, Jan Kratochvil
