Raw Input Patch for Keyboard and Mouse for wine 1.5.*

[Phancy Physicist]

There is a patch to enable raw input from devices called "raw3.patch" that is necessary to play certain games. The patch is from this link -
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20395#c60.

I need a new version of this patch since it was made for wine 1.3.* and I am now using 1.5.*.

It must exist because if you use PlayOnLinux you can download a version of wine 1.5.* that has this patch enabled. However i don't want five different versions of wine on my computer. I honestly don't have the room on my harddrive.

Does anyone know where to find this patch? It seems my google and forum searching skills have failed me.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Same patch still works for a clean 1.5.x source directory.

Follow the instructions listed in that bug report carefully.

Start by applying the patch (the real patch, not a patch that someone made by applying the real patch).

Then run the tools/make_requests script.

Then configure and compile as usual.

Thanks for confirming that the patch still works. I am using gentoo so my problems probably stem from the way I am trying to apply the patch. I'm going to consult with others on the gentoo forums. If anybody as any ideas on how to use this patch with the portage system please let me know

ischou,

I just had another thought. Which version of wine 1.5.* did you use the patch on? I was trying wine 1.5.8 and I just wanted to try against a known working build.

I've successfully applied the patch to 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.7 and 1.5.8

You should get no errors upon completion of the patch, and you must run tools/make_requests afterward before building.

playonlinux has started including the raw3.patch in all their recent releases.

Thanks again for checking this for me. Now I know it should work and that the problem must be in the way that the patch is applied. I'll fight with the portage system a bit more then I'll just try straight from source.

That's wrong. It's only included when -raw3 is specified

Is there a way to test the raw input stuff separately?
Maybe there is something like dxdiag for the mater?

It's pretty extensive. Doubt a single program will use/test everything. Most (not all) games only using it for one input - mouse. Keyboard works fine as-is and is a pain to deal with directly.

FYI raw3 patch is now integrated into vanilla Wine >1.5.12.
