<title>The [Drive X] Section</title>
|
||
<para>
|
||
It should be pretty self explanatory, but here is an
|
||
in-depth tutorial about them. There are up to 6 lines for
|
||
each drive in Wine.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>[Drive X]</programlisting>
|
||
The above line begins the section for a drive whose letter is X.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>Path=/dir/to/path</programlisting> This
|
||
path is where the drive will begin. When Wine is browsing
|
||
in drive X, it will see the files that are in the
|
||
directory <filename>/dir/to/path</filename>. Don't forget
|
||
to leave off the trailing slash!
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"Type" = "floppy|hd|cdrom|network" <--- the |'s mean "Type = "<one of the options>"
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Sets up the type of drive Wine will see it as. Type must
|
||
equal one of the four <literal>floppy</literal>,
|
||
<literal>hd</literal>, <literal>cdrom</literal>, or
|
||
<literal>network</literal>. They are self-explanatory.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"Label" = "blah"</programlisting> Defines the
|
||
drive label. Generally only needed for programs that look
|
||
for a special CD-ROM. Info on finding the lable is in
|
||
<literal><dirs to wine>/documentation/cdrom-labels</literal>.
|
||
The label may be up to 11 characters.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"Serial" = "deadbeef"</programlisting>
|
||
Tells Wine the serial number of the drive. A few programs with
|
||
intense protection for pirating might need this, but otherwise
|
||
don't use it. Up to 8 characters and hexadecimal.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"Filesystem" = "msdos|win95|unix"</programlisting>
|
||
Sets up the way Wine looks at files on the drive.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<variablelist>
|
||
<varlistentry>
|
||
<term><literal>msdos</literal></term>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Case insensitive filesystem. Alike to DOS and
|
||
Windows 3.x. <literal>8.3</literal> is the maximum
|
||
length of files (eightdot.123) - longer ones will be
|
||
truncated. (NOTE: this is a very bad choice if you
|
||
plan on running apps that use long filenames. win95
|
||
should work fine with apps that were designed to run
|
||
under the msdos system. In other words, you might
|
||
not want to use this.)

</para>
|

</listitem>

|
||
<varlistentry>
|
||
<term><literal>win95</literal></term>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Case insensitive. Alike to Windows 9x/NT 4. This is
|
||
the long filename filesystem you are probably used
|
||
to working with. The filesystem of choice for most
|
||
applications to be run under wine. PROBABLY THE ONE
|
||
YOU WANT!

</para>

</listitem>

</varlistentry>
|
||
<varlistentry>
|

<term><literal>unix</literal></term>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Case sensitive. This filesystem has almost no use
|
||
(Windows apps expect case insensitive filenames).
|
||
Try it if you dare, but win95 is a much better
|
||
choice.
|
||

</varlistentry>
|

</variablelist>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>"Device" = "/dev/xx"</programlisting>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Use this ONLY for floppy and cdrom devices. Using it on
|
||
Extended2 partitions can have dire results (when a windows
|
||
app tries to do a lowlevel write, they do it in a FAT way
|
||
-- FAT does not mix with Extended2).
|
||
</para>
|
||
<note>
|
||
<para>
|
||
This setting is not really important; almost all apps
|
||
will have no problem if it remains unspecified. For
|
||
CD-ROMs you might want to add it to get automatic label
|
||
detection, though. If you are unsure about specifying
|
||
device names, just leave out this setting for your
|
||
drives.

|
||
<title>The [wine] Section </title>
|
||
<para>
|
||
The [wine] section of the configuration file contains
|
||
information wine uses for directories. When specifying the
|
||
directories for the settings, make them as they would
|
||
appear in wine. If your drive <medialabel>C</medialabel>
|
||
has a path of <filename>/dos</filename>, and your
|
||
<filename>windows</filename> directory is located in
|
||
<filename>/dos/windows</filename>, then use:
|
||
<programlisting>"Windows" = "c:\\windows"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
This sets up the <filename>windows</filename> directory.
|
||
Make one if you don't already have one. NO TRAILING SLASH
|
||
(NOT <filename>C:\\windows\</filename>)!
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"System" = "c:\\windows\\system"</programlisting>
|
||
This sets up where the windows system files are. Should
|
||
reside in the directory used for the
|
||
<literal>Windows</literal> setting. If you don't have
|
||
<filename>windows</filename> then this is where the system
|
||
files will go. Again, NO TRAILING SLASH!
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"Temp" = "c:\\temp"</programlisting> This should
|
||
be the directory you want your temp files stored in. YOU
|
||
MUST HAVE WRITE ACCESS TO IT.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"Path" = "c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;c:\\blanco"
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Behaves like the <envar>PATH</envar> setting on UNIX
|
||
boxes. When wine is run like <userinput>wine
|
||
sol.exe</userinput>, if <filename>sol.exe</filename>
|
||
resides in a directory specified in the
|
||
<literal>Path</literal> setting, wine will run it (Of
|
||
course, if <filename>sol.exe</filename> resides in the
|
||
current directory, wine will run that one). Make sure it
|
||
always has your <filename>windows</filename> directory and
|
||
system directory (For this setup, it must have
|
||
<filename>"c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system"</filename>).
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"SymbolTableFile" = "wine.sym"</programlisting>
|
||
Sets up the symbol table file for the wine debugger. You
|
||
probably don't need to fiddle with this. May be useful if
|
||
your wine is stripped.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"printer" = "off|on"</programlisting> Tells wine
|
||
whether to allow printer drivers and printing to work.
|
||
Using these things are pretty alpha, so you might want to
|
||
watch out. Some people might find it useful, however. If
|
||
you're not planning on working on printing, don't even add
|
||
this to your <filename>~/.wine/config</filename> (It probably
|
||
isn't already in it). Check out the [spooler] and
|
||
[parallelports] sections too.

<title>Windows DLL Pairs</title>
|

<para>

Most windows DLL's have a win16 (Windows 3.x) and win32
|
||
(Windows 9x/NT) form. The combination of the win16 and
|
||
win32 DLL versions are called the "DLL pair". This is a

list of the most common pairs:

<title>Different Forms Of DLL's</title>

There are a few different forms of DLL's wine can load:
|

<variablelist>
|
||
<varlistentry>
|
||
<term>native</term>
|
||
<listitem><para>
|
||
The DLL's that are included with windows. Many
|
||
windows DLL's can be loaded in their native
|
||
form. Many times these native versions work
|
||
better than their non-Microsoft equivalent --
|
||
other times they don't.

<varlistentry>
|

<term>builtin</term>
|

<listitem><para>
|
||
The most common form of DLL loading. This is
|
||
what you will use if the DLL is error-prone in
|
||
native form (KERNEL for example), you don't have
|
||
the native DLL, or you just want to be
|
||
Microsoft-free.

</sect3>
|

|

<sect3>
|

<title>The [DllDefaults] Section</title>
|

<para>
|

These settings provide wine's default handling of DLL loading.
|

</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"DefaultLoadOrder" =" native, so, builtin"</programlisting>
|

</para>
|

<para>
|

This setting is a comma-delimited list of which order to
|
||
attempt loading DLL's. If the first option fails, it will
|
||
try the second, and so on. The order specified above is
|
||
probably the best in most conditions.

|
||
<title>The [DllPairs] Section</title>
|
||
<para>
|
||
At one time, there was a section called [DllPairs] in the
|
||
default configuration file, but this has been obsoleted
|
||
because the pairing information has now been embedded into
|
||
Wine itself. (The purpose of this section was merely to be
|
||
able to issue warnings if the user attempted to pair
|
||
codependent 16-bit/32-bit DLLs of different types.) If you
|
||
still have this in your <filename>wine.conf</filename> or
|
||
<filename>~/.wine/config</filename>, you may safely delete it.
|
||
</para>
|
||
</sect3>
|
||
|
||
<sect3>
|
||
<title>The [DllOverrides] Section</title>
|
||
<para>
|
||
The format for this section is the same for each line:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
<DLL>{,<DLL>,<DLL>...} = <FORM>{,<FORM>,<FORM>...}
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
For example, to load builtin KERNEL pair (case doesn't
|
||
matter here):
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"kernel,kernel32" = "builtin"
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
To load the native COMMDLG pair, but if that doesn't work
|
||
try builtin:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"commdlg,comdlg32" = "native,builtin"
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
To load the native COMCTL32:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"comctl32" = "native"
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Here is a good generic setup (As it is defined in config
|
||
that was included with your wine package):
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
[DllOverrides]
|
||
"commdlg" = "builtin, native"
|
||
"comdlg32" = "builtin, native"
|
||
"ver" = "builtin, native"
|

"version" = "builtin, native"
|

"shell" = "builtin, native"
|

"shell32" = "builtin, native"
|
||
"lzexpand" = "builtin, native"
|
||
"lz32" = "builtin, native"
|

"comctl32" = "builtin, native"
|

"commctrl" = "builtin, native"
|

"wsock32" = "builtin"
|

"winsock" = "builtin"
|

"advapi32" = "builtin, native"
|

"crtdll" = "builtin, native"
|

"mpr" = "builtin, native"
|

"winspool.drv" = "builtin, native"

<title>The [fonts] Section</title>

This section sets up wine's font handling.

<para>
|

<programlisting>"Resolution" = "96"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Since the way X handles fonts is different from the way
|
||
Windows does, wine uses a special mechanism to deal with
|
||
them. It must scale them using the number defined in the
|
||
"Resolution" setting. 60-120 are reasonable values, 96 is
|
||
a nice in the middle one. If you have the real windows
|
||
fonts available (<filename><dirs to
|
||
wine>/documentation/ttfserver</filename> and
|
||
<filename>fonts</filename>), this parameter will not be as
|
||
important. Of course, it's always good to get your X fonts
|
||
working acceptably in wine.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<programlisting>"Default" = "-adobe-times-"</programlisting>

OPTIONAL:

|

<para>
|
||
The <literal>Alias</literal> setting allows you to map an X font to a font
|
||
used in wine. This is good for apps that need a special font you don't have,
|
||
but a good replacement exists. The syntax is like so:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"AliasX" = "[Fake windows name],[Real X name]"<,optional "masking" section>
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Pretty straightforward. Replace "AliasX" with "Alias0",
|
||
then "Alias1" and so on. The fake windows name is the name
|
||
that the font will be under a windows app in wine. The
|
||
real X name is the font name as seen by X (Run
|
||
"xfontsel"). The optional "masking" section allows you to
|
||
utilize the fake windows name you define. If it is not
|
||
used, then wine will just try to extract the fake windows
|
||
name itself and not use the value you enter.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Here is an example of an alias without masking. The font will show up in windows
|
||
apps as "Google". When defining an alias in a config file, forget about my
|
||
comment text (The "<-- blah" stuff)
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"Alias0" = "Foo,--google-" <
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Here is an example with masking enabled. The font will show up as "Foo" in
|
||
windows apps.
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
"Alias1" = "Foo,--google-,subst"
|
||
</programlisting>

<title>The [serialports], [parallelports], [spooler], and [ports] Sections</title>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Even though it sounds like a lot of sections, these are
|
||
all closely related. They are all for communications and
|
||
parallel ports.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
The [serialports] section tells wine what serial ports it
|
||
is allowed to use.
|
||
<programlisting>"ComX" = "/dev/cuaY"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Replace <literal>X</literal> with the number of the COM
|
||
port in Windows (1-8) and <literal>Y</literal> with the
|
||
number of it in <literal>X</literal> (Usually the number
|
||
of the port in Windows minus 1). <literal>ComX</literal>
|
||
can actually equal any device
|
||
(<medialabel>/dev/modem</medialabel> is acceptable). It is
|
||
not always necessary to define any COM ports (An optional
|
||
setting). Here is an example:
|
||
<programlisting>"Com1" = "/dev/cua0"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Use as many of these as you like in the section to define
|
||
all of the COM ports you need.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
The [parallelports] section sets up any parallel ports
|
||
that will be allowed access under wine.
|
||
<programlisting>"LptX" = "/dev/lpY"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Sounds familiar? Syntax is just like the COM port setting.
|
||
Replace <literal>X</literal> with a value from 1-4 as it
|
||
is in Windows and <literal>Y</literal> with a value from
|
||
0-3 (<literal>Y</literal> is usually the value in windows
|
||
minus 1, just like for COM ports). You don't always need
|
||
to define a parallel port (AKA, it's optional). As with
|
||
the other section, LptX can equal any device (Maybe
|
||
<medialabel>/dev/printer</medialabel>). Here is an
|
||
example: <programlisting>"Lpt1" = "/dev/lp0"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
The [spooler] section will inform wine where to spool
|
||
print jobs. Use this if you want to try printing. Wine
|
||
docs claim that spooling is "rather primitive" at this
|
||
time, so it won't work perfectly. IT IS OPTIONAL. The only
|
||
setting you use in this section works to map a port (LPT1,
|
||
for example) to a file or a command. Here is an example,
|
||
mapping LPT1 to the file <filename>out.ps</filename>:
|
||
<programlisting>"LPT1:" = "out.ps"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
The following command maps printing jobs to LPT1 to the
|
||
command <command>lpr</command>. Notice the |:
|
||
<programlisting>"LPT1:" = "|lpr"</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
The [ports] section is usually useful only for people who
|
||
need direct port access for programs requiring dongles or
|
||
scanners. IF YOU DON'T NEED IT, DON'T USE IT!
|
||
</para>
|

<para>

<programlisting>"read" = "0x779,0x379,0x280-0x2a0"</programlisting>

Most Wine users run Wine under the windowing system known as
|
||
X11. During most of Wine's history, this was the only display
|
||
driver available, but in recent years, parts of Wine has been
|
||
reorganized to allow for other display drivers (although the
|
||
only alternative currently available is Patrik Stridvall's
|
||
ncurses-based ttydrv, which he claims works for displaying
|
||
calc.exe). The display driver is chosen with the
|
||
<literal>GraphicsDriver</literal> option in the [wine] section
|
||
of <filename>~/.wine/config</filename>, but I will only cover the
|
||
x11drv driver in this article.

</para>
|

|
||
<sect2>
|
||
<title>x11drv modes of operation</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
The x11drv driver consists of two conceptually distinct
|
||
pieces, the graphics driver (GDI part), and the windowing
|
||
driver (USER part). Both of these are linked into the
|
||
<filename>libx11drv.so</filename> module, though (which you
|
||
load with the <literal>GraphicsDriver</literal> option). In
|
||
Wine, running on X11, the graphics driver must draw on
|
||
drawables (window interiors) provided by the windowing
|
||
driver. This differs a bit from the Windows model, where the
|
||
windowing system creates and configures device contexts
|
||
controlled by the graphics driver, and applications are
|
||
allowed to hook into this relationship anywhere they like.
|
||
Thus, to provide any reasonable tradeoff between
|
||
compatibility and usability, the x11drv has three different
|
||
modes of operation.

Ordinary top-level frame windows with thick borders,

better with the rest of your desktop, but may not

operation, to make it more robust and less patchy, is
|

highly desirable, though, and is planned to be done
|

before the Wine 1.0 release.)

game's requested bpp first, but with DGA2 (XFree86

depending on your driver's capabilities.) But be aware
|

that if Wine crashes while in DGA mode, it may not be

possible to regain control over your computer without

If you don't want DirectX to use DGA, you can at least

use X Shared Memory extensions (XShm). It is much

slower than DGA, since the app doesn't have direct

access to the physical frame buffer, but using shared

memory to draw the frame is at least faster than
|
||
sending the data through the standard X11 socket, even
|

though Wine's XShm support is still known to crash

sometimes.

Until now, your only possibility of specifying drive volume
|
||
labels and serial numbers was to set them manually in the wine
|
||
config file. By now, wine can read them directly from the
|
||
device as well. This may be useful for many Win 9x games or
|
||
for setup programs distributed on CD-ROMs that check for
|
||
volume label.

<para>
|
||
Reading labels and serial numbers just works automagically
|
||
if you specify a <literal>Device=</literal> line in the
|
||
[Drive X] section in your <filename>~/.wine/config</filename>.
|
||
Note that the device has to exist and must be accessible if
|
||
you do this, though.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
If you don't do that, then you should give fixed
|
||
<literal>"Label" =</literal> or <literal>"Serial" =</literal>
|
||
entries in <filename>~./wine/config</filename>, as Wine returns
|
||
these entries instead if no device is given. If they don't
|
||
exist, then Wine will return default values (label
|
||
<literal>Drive X</literal> and serial
|
||
<literal>12345678</literal>).
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
If you want to give a <literal>"Device" =</literal> entry
|
||
<emphasis>only</emphasis> for drive raw sector accesses,
|
||
but not for reading the volume info from the device (i.e. you want
|
||
a <emphasis>fixed</emphasis>, preconfigured label), you need
|
||
to specify <literal>"ReadVolInfo" = "0"</literal> to tell Wine
|
||
to skip the volume reading.

The <filename>wine.conf</filename> directives [DllDefaults]
|
||
and [DllOverrides] are the subject of some confusion. The
|
||
overall purpose of most of these directives are clear enough,
|
||
though - given a choice, should Wine use its own built-in
|
||
DLLs, or should it use <filename>.DLL</filename> files found
|
||
in an existing Windows installation? This document explains

how this feature works.

with a special Windows-like file structure that is as

close to Windows as possible, and that can also

seamlessly link dynamically with "native" DLLs, by
|
||
using special ELF loader and linker tricks. Bertho
|
||
Stultiens did some work on this, but this feature has
|
||
not yet been merged back into Wine (because of
|
||
political reasons and lack of time), so this DLL type
|
||
does not exist in the official Wine at this time. In
|
||
the meantime, the "builtin" DLL type gained some of
|
||
the features of elfdlls (such as dynamic loading), so
|
||
it's possible that "elfdll" functionality will be
|
||
folded into "builtin" at some point.

<title>The [DllPairs] section</title>

<para>
|

At one time, there was a section called [DllPairs] in the
|
||
default configuration file, but this has been obsoleted
|
||
because the pairing information has now been embedded into
|
||
Wine itself. (The purpose of this section was merely to be
|
||
able to issue warnings if the user attempted to pair
|
||
codependent 16-bit/32-bit DLLs of different types.) If you
|
||
still have this in your <filename>wine.conf</filename> or
|
||
<filename>~/.wine/config</filename>, you may safely delete it.

<title>The [DllOverrides] section</title>
|

<para>
|
||
This section specifies how you want specific DLLs to be
|
||
handled, in particular whether you want to use "native" DLLs
|
||
or not, if you have some from a real Windows configuration.
|
||
Because builtins do not mix seamlessly with native DLLs yet,
|
||
certain DLL dependencies may be problematic, but workarounds
|
||
exist in Wine for many popular DLL configurations. Also see
|
||
WWN's [16]Status Page to figure out how well your favorite
|
||
DLL is implemented in Wine.

It is of course also possible to override these settings by

|

Wine now needs to know about your keyboard layout. This
|
||
requirement comes from a need from many apps to have the
|
||
correct scancodes available, since they read these directly,
|
||
instead of just taking the characters returned by the X
|
||
server. This means that Wine now needs to have a mapping from
|
||
X keys to the scancodes these applications expect.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
On startup, Wine will try to recognize the active X layout by
|
||
seeing if it matches any of the defined tables. If it does,
|
||
everything is alright. If not, you need to define it.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
To do this, open the file
|
||
<filename>windows/x11drv/keyboard.c</filename> and take a look
|
||
at the existing tables. Make a backup copy of it, especially
|
||
if you don't use CVS.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
What you really would need to do, is find out which scancode
|
||
each key needs to generate. Find it in the
|
||
<function>main_key_scan</function> table, which looks like
|
||
this:
|
||
</para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
static const int main_key_scan[MAIN_LEN] =
|
||
{
|
||
/* this is my (102-key) keyboard layout, sorry if it doesn't quite match yours */
|
||
0x29,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x0A,0x0B,0x0C,0x0D,
|
||
0x10,0x11,0x12,0x13,0x14,0x15,0x16,0x17,0x18,0x19,0x1A,0x1B,
|
||
0x1E,0x1F,0x20,0x21,0x22,0x23,0x24,0x25,0x26,0x27,0x28,0x2B,
|
||
0x2C,0x2D,0x2E,0x2F,0x30,0x31,0x32,0x33,0x34,0x35,
|
||
0x56 /* the 102nd key (actually to the right of l-shift) */
|
||
};
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Next, assign each scancode the characters imprinted on the
|
||
keycaps. This was done (sort of) for the US 101-key keyboard,
|
||
which you can find near the top in
|
||
<filename>keyboard.c</filename>. It also shows that if there
|
||
is no 102nd key, you can skip that.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
However, for most international 102-key keyboards, we have
|
||
done it easy for you. The scancode layout for these already
|
||
pretty much matches the physical layout in the
|
||
<function>main_key_scan</function>, so all you need to do is
|
||
to go through all the keys that generate characters on your
|
||
main keyboard (except spacebar), and stuff those into an
|
||
appropriate table. The only exception is that the 102nd key,
|
||
which is usually to the left of the first key of the last line
|
||
(usually <keycap>Z</keycap>), must be placed on a separate
|
||
line after the last line.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
For example, my Norwegian keyboard looks like this
|
||
</para>
|
||
<screen>
|
||
<EFBFBD> ! " # <20> % & / ( ) = ? ` Back-
|
||
| 1 2@ 3<> 4$ 5 6 7{ 8[ 9] 0} + \<5C> space
|
||
|
||
Tab Q W E R T Y U I O P <20> ^
|
||
<20>~
|
||
Enter
|
||
Caps A S D F G H J K L <20> <20> *
|
||
Lock '
|
||
|
||
Sh- > Z X C V B N M ; : _ Shift
|
||
ift < , . -
|
||
|
||
Ctrl Alt Spacebar AltGr Ctrl
|
||
</screen>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Note the 102nd key, which is the <keycap><></keycap> key, to
|
||
the left of <keycap>Z</keycap>. The character to the right of
|
||
the main character is the character generated by
|
||
<keycap>AltGr</keycap>.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
This keyboard is defined as follows:
|
||
</para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
static const char main_key_NO[MAIN_LEN][4] =
|
||
{
|
||
"|<7C>","1!","2\"@","3#<23>","4<>$","5%","6&","7/{","8([","9)]","0=}","+?","\\<5C>",
|
||
"qQ","wW","eE","rR","tT","yY","uU","iI","oO","pP","<22><>","<22>^~",
|
||
"aA","sS","dD","fF","gG","hH","jJ","kK","lL","<22><>","<22><>","'*",
|
||
"zZ","xX","cC","vV","bB","nN","mM",",;",".:","-_",
|
||
"<>"
|
||
};
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Except that " and \ needs to be quoted with a backslash, and
|
||
that the 102nd key is on a separate line, it's pretty
|
||
straightforward.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
After you have written such a table, you need to add it to the
|
||
<function>main_key_tab[]</function> layout index table. This
|
||
will look like this:
|
||
</para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
static struct {
|
||
WORD lang, ansi_codepage, oem_codepage;
|
||
const char (*key)[MAIN_LEN][4];
|
||
} main_key_tab[]={
|
||
...
|
||
...
|
||
{MAKELANGID(LANG_NORWEGIAN,SUBLANG_DEFAULT), 1252, 865, &main_key_NO},
|
||
...
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
<para>
|
||
After you have added your table, recompile Wine and test that
|
||
it works. If it fails to detect your table, try running
|
||
</para>
|
||
<screen>
|
||
wine --debugmsg +key,+keyboard >& key.log
|
||
</screen>
|
||
<para>
|
||
and look in the resulting <filename>key.log</filename> file to
|
||
find the error messages it gives for your layout.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Note that the <constant>LANG_*</constant> and
|
||
<constant>SUBLANG_*</constant> definitions are in
|
||
<filename>include/winnls.h</filename>, which you might need to
|
||
know to find out which numbers your language is assigned, and
|
||
find it in the debugmsg output. The numbers will be
|
||
<literal>(SUBLANG * 0x400 + LANG)</literal>, so, for example
|
||
the combination <literal>LANG_NORWEGIAN (0x14)</literal> and
|
||
<literal>SUBLANG_DEFAULT (0x1)</literal> will be (in hex)
|
||
<literal>14 + 1*400 = 414</literal>, so since I'm Norwegian, I
|
||
could look for <literal>0414</literal> in the debugmsg output
|
||
to find out why my keyboard won't detect.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Once it works, submit it to the Wine project. If you use CVS,
|
||
you will just have to do
|
||
</para>
|
||
<screen>
|
||
cvs -z3 diff -u windows/x11drv/keyboard.c > layout.diff
|
||
</screen>
|
||
<para>
|
||
from your main Wine directory, then submit
|
||
<filename>layout.diff</filename> to
|
||
<email>wine-patches@winehq.com</email> along with a brief note
|
||
of what it is.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
If you don't use CVS, you need to do
|
||
</para>
|
||
<screen>
|
||
diff -u the_backup_file_you_made windows/x11drv/keyboard.c > layout.diff
|
||
</screen>
|
||
<para>
|
||
and submit it as explained above.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
If you did it right, it will be included in the next Wine
|
||
release, and all the troublesome applications (especially
|
||
remote-control applications) and games that use scancodes will
|
||
be happily using your keyboard layout, and you won't get those
|
||
annoying fixme messages either.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Good luck.
