Re: Newbie questions: Driver dev

1. Drivers should not use assembly. 2. Depends on what you're doing, but most likely you'll need a monitor on the ROS machine (e.g. to go through first stage setup) 3. If QEMU has the device you're developing for (or you're writing a software-only driver), yes. (though at some point you should test ...

Re: Database Syncing VERY VERY Slow on ReactOS

It will most likely have to do with two things: 1. ReactOS is incomplete and not as well optimized for many scenarios as Windows 2. You are running a debug build of ReactOS (there is no other kind), but a release build of Windows. To figure out what's going on, let's start by seeing if this is a CPU...

Re: Deutschen Fenstern für BEFEHLE

And as the third native German speaker here (in case two aren't convincing enough?)... you're wrong. "Deutsches Fenster" or "Das deutsche Fenster" is singular nominative. "Deutsche Fenster" or "Die deutschen Fenster" is plural nominative. "(Den) Deutschen...

Re: RosBE-Builder.sh resets "broken" glob.c

The build process extracts the .tar.gz file, so you have to extract, replace, and re-archive.

Re: Booting Live (0.4.12) stops at swenum.sys

What it's telling you is that boot from USB is not currently supported ;)

People have reported success using this method though: https://reactos.org/wiki/Installing_Rea ... B-RAM_boot

Re: Suggestion: Preliminary release notes for RC

We currently have no good process for the release notes. In fact, the fact that they hadn't yet been finalized has delayed several of the most recent releases. That is to say, we can't provide them them on time, therefore we won't be able to provide them early. If you're interested in helping that p...

Re: Why isn't USB working?

The type of question is "Why is feature X not supported in ReactOS".
And nobody simply means nobody. As in, not a single person in the world. Anybody is free to contribute to the project, but nobody has contributed this particular feature (like lots of others).

Re: Why doesn't the ReactOS vga.sys work in Win 2000?

First of all, our driver is not designed for Windows 2000. If it also doesn't work on Server 2003, then it's worth investigating.

Re: Why isn't USB working?

The answer to this type of question is usually very straightforward: because nobody has implemented it.

Re: writing a driver: why does Windows refuse to load my simple driver?

Your "driver" imports from kernel32. Drivers cannot import user mode libraries. I believe for graphics drivers the rule is you can only import from win32k (and, I suppose, videoprt) or some such. I'm not sure how you even built such a thing. Perhaps you should start with an appropriate sam...

Re: So impressed by ReactOS 0.4.14

You'll need to look in the 0.4.13 branch in git, and find the commit matching the "gXXXXXXX" at the end of the iso name. One way to list the commits there is to look at https://github.com/reactos/reactos/commits/releases/0.4.13 So for RC41 you could use the "Clone or Download" bu...

Re: [SUGGESTION] Join the EU-FOSSA (Free and Open Source Software Auditing) project

Finding security bugs in ReactOS is trivially easy at this point. We don't need help yet, it'd be a waste of money to pay someone bounties for it.

Re: Why isn't my SEH2 try-except statement preventing Page Faults?

Also note that the try-finally won't actually catch the exception, only the try-except will.
