Wine Help

Ste-

Started using wine today to see what I could do.
When trying to load Windows Media Player Classic I get these errors.

[stephen@localhost Program Files]$ wine mplayerc.exe
When you are running with a native NT directory specify
'Profile=<profiledirectory>' or disable loading of Windows
registry (LoadWindowsRegistryFiles=N)
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
err:wave:OSS_WaveOutInit /dev/mixer1: No such file or directory
err:wave:OSS_WaveInInit /dev/mixer1: No such file or directory
[stephen@localhost Program Files]$

Any suggestions ?

not sure about the profile prob, i dont use a native win install, but thats not an error anyways.
You should get DRI up, thats hardware accelerated graphics support.
about OSS, you need to give more info about your system, are you using alsa, oss .etc
maybe you just need to make sym links from /dev/mixer1 to /dev/sound/mixer
you also need to edit the wine config properly, I mean I really cant tell you anything from the info you have given.

stuff like this might help you trouble shoot

[WinMM]
"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv"
"WaveMapper" = "msacm.drv"
"MidiMapper" = "midimap.drv"

[wineoss]
"UseMMap" = "Y"
"FullDuplex" = "N"


But because of wines troublesome nature what you really want to do is google for a howto mplayer in wine, and also read the manual.

I have googled and read some info (there's not a great deal of it.
This was taken from the config file.

[WinMM]
; Uncomment the "Drivers" line matching your sound setting.

;"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv" ; default for most common configurations
"Drivers" = "winearts.drv" ; for KDE
;"Drivers" = "winealsa.drv" ; for ALSA users
;"Drivers" = "winejack.drv" ; for Jack sound server
;"Drivers" = "winenas.drv" ; for NAS sound system
;"Drivers" = "wineaudioio.drv" ; for Solaris machines
;"Drivers" = "" ; to disable sound
"WaveMapper" = "msacm.drv"
"MidiMapper" = "midimap.drv"

[dsound]
;; HEL only: Number of waveOut fragments ahead to mix in new buffers.
;"HELmargin" = "5"
;; HEL only: Number of waveOut fragments ahead to queue to driver.
;"HELqueue" = "5"
;; Max number of fragments to prebuffer
;"SndQueueMax" = "28"
;; Min number of fragments to prebuffer
;"SndQueueMin" = "12"
;; Forces emulation mode (using wave api)
;"HardwareAcceleration" = "Emulation"
;; Sets default playback device (0 - number of devices - 1)
;"DefaultPlayback" = "0" ; use first device (/dev/dsp)
;"DefaultPlayback" = "1" ; use second device (/dev/dsp1)
;"DefaultPlayback" = "2" ; use third device (/dev/dsp2)
;; Sets default capture device (0 - number of devices - 1)
;"DefaultCapture" = "0" ; use first device (/dev/dsp)
;"DefaultCapture" = "1" ; use second device (/dev/dsp1)
;"DefaultCapture" = "2" ; use third device (/dev/dsp2)

I've gotten rid of the 2 oss errors by using winearts.drv but now I get

mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding

hmm
is artsd running?
afaik thats still an audio problem, usually associated with arts, although i have seen alsa throw that out too with
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
however you probably just get seg. fault.
I should think you would be better off trying to get native oss support, rather than use arts.
warnings also usually dont matter, its really only err. you need to wory about however in this case ok if it seg faults you will need to fix that warning.

try to get this running
[WinMM]
"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv"
#"Drivers" = "winearts.drv"
"WaveMapper" = "msacm.drv"
"MidiMapper" = "midimap.drv"

I never managed to get alsa working with wine either.
