Hi Rudi et al,

The latest RC18 source upload on sourceforge (cvs200804.zip) is missing a (new) file checkvideodriver.cpp that is needed by some new code additions.

The previous version compiles ok.

ok rudi thanks again for the speedy reply.

ok thanks Rudi. I see you are still using the command if (ExtEscape(gdc, MAP1, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL)>0) in videodriver.cpp. I thought you had changed this to a IOCTL call. At least that was my understanding of what you said here... [topic=288][/topic] is this right? are you still using ExtEscape to ...

Hi Chaps,

Its August now. RC18 still rocks. Any chance of uploading the source code to cvs... pretty please?

-Iain

I think we have to wait for Rudi and Sam to put it onto CVS.

Chaps, sorry to be a pest, but will you be doing this anytime soon?

Cheers,

Hi Rudi,

The file rfbRegion.cpp is missing from the source repository. Its one of the files that comes from realvnc I think.

Could you possibly add it back in?

Many thanks,

ok i obtained the RC17 driver and this seemed to fix it.

www.ultravnc.com is out of date.

how do I tell which version of the mirror driver I have? Windows informs me it is File Version 1.0.0.7. Though the download seemed to suggest RC11 (i obtained it from http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ ).


Is there a more recent version and how do I get hold of it?

-Iain

Hmm... I have RC17 (obtained it from sourcesafe), I have compiled it and it seems to be using ExtEscape, not IOCTL. When I run it, it crashes the system on the ExtEscape line. As you say it is a dangerous call! The system works with RC16 binary. (I haven't tried compiling the source for RC16). You ...

any response to this? still needing help.

Hi, Can someone explain what the ExtEscape call to the mirror driver does? It uses the number "MAP1" which is referenced as 1030 but I can see no other documentation on this. If I play around, and move the ExtEscape, calling it at the wrong time it causes a massive system crash. Under what situation ...

bang on! nice one mate.

Hi There, Could someone please explain what "omnithread" is and how it should be included within a project? When I try and compile with #include <omnithread.h> I am getting a linking error: Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "omni_thread::init_t::init_t(void)" Error LNK2019 unresolved external ...

ok thanks.

Hi Chaps,

Ultra VNC is great. I compile mine with VS .NET and I'm just looking through the source to see how it all works... is there any design documentation to accompany the code?

How do all the modules and things fit together?

Cheerz,
