    - Keyboard FIlter Driver for Belking n52 on x64? The Belkin n52's a great device, but Belkin doesn't want to update thei software for x64, leaving us with a gamepad that maps to the left-mos side of the keyboard, as well as a second mouse. Sure, you could rema keys with a standard remapper, but that'd affect the regular keyboard a well. Has anyone written a remapper that can map a *specific* keyboar attached to a USB port? (and, perhaps, the secondary mouse) Bonus points if it can map to a script or other sequence of keyboar events, mouse events, and waits. If not, I've downloaded the DDK, but don't quite know where to begin. My background's in distributed software, not device drivers, though th examples *look* like they should be easy enough. But I know enough t see the big warning sign overhead - kfarme ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via http://www.codecomments.co ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70945

    - Multiple terminal sessions, events not seen by all. I've got an multiple copies of an app running in multiple terminal sessions In the user mode, I've created an event (CreateEvent, manual reset) and I pass this off to a kernel driver. In the kernel, I do KeSetEvent, and then KeClearEvent right away to clear it. I am expecting that all the sessions , which I know are all waiting on the event, would see the signal. This is not the case. The signal is seen only by one session. And it does not matter which is the active session, it is only seen by the last session that created the event .

    - Question about NtCreateProcess I have hooked NtCreateProcess but there is something extremely strange, in the documentaion for this api we find NtCreateProcess( OUT PHANDLE ProcessHandle, IN ACCESS_MASK DesiredAccess, IN POBJECT_ATTRIBUTES ObjectAttributes OPTIONAL, IN HANDLE ParentProcess, IN BOOLEAN InheritObjectTable, IN HANDLE SectionHandle OPTIONAL, IN HANDLE DebugPort OPTIONAL, IN HANDLE ExceptionPort OPTIONAL ); However, ObjectAttributes is optional. This is strange, how will the kernel know which process we want if it doesn't have it's name ? or in other words, how do I obtain the process name when ObjectAttributes is NULL?

    - AV Stream renderer Hi All, The situation: I wrote a virtual filter-centric AV Stream renderer and it works fine in the graphedit - I feed it from the WM ASF reader; I can see arriving frames in my Process callback- the renderer swallows them by setting BytesUsed = BytesAvailable - everything is ok, But when I access this renderer by the waveOutOpen function and as soon as I submit the only buffer by the waveOutWrite function, my Process callback is called in endless loop, it seems like the same frame is delivered again and again and again. Any ideas why it happens? What the difference between these two cases? TIA Andrew Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70901

    - Device stack reordering when driver is reloaded Hi, On my system, my vendor (IBM) preinstalls a filter driver (IBM Active PCI a.k.a. ibmhpf.sys) that sits between the PCI bus and PCI device drivers (such as mine). It manages some IBM-specific PCI hotplug functionality and should be "transparent" to PCI device drivers. My device driver is not aware of this filter and continues to work as usual. However, after I reload my driver (Disable+Enable in the Device Manager), it would no longer operate normally, getting null MDLs in its DispatchRead routine. As you know, there can be two reasons for getting null MDLs: 1. Not having DO_DIRECT_IO in your DEVICE_OBJECT's Flags. (Obviously I always had this flag set.) 2. Passing a zero-sized buffer to ReadFile. (I don't do this.) Inspecting my device with Walter Oney's DevView revealed the reason: while my FDO has DO_DIRECT_IO in its flags, IBM's FiDO does not -- and IBM's FiDO has relocated from being between my FDO and the PCI bus, to be *on top* of my FDO! What can cause this FiDO (whose source code I obviously don't have) to be inserted at the right place on system startup, but at the wrong place on subsequent reload of my driver?

    - Error parity UART Hi Development tool: visual c++ 2005 express Problem (s): 1) I'm sending 8 bits + parity + 1 stop bit (9600 bit/s) using the UART, how can I read the byte, even if there is a problem with the parity, because the byte with parity error is replace by the byte defined in ParityReplace! 2) I'm using timers with the UART, but sometimes, I donÂ´t read the bytes one by one, using the events. How can I put the events of the UART prior to the timers, so that I can't fail one read. If some one can help, i appreciate very much. Best Regards Vitor Amorim Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70887

    - Extra Processing on CompletionRoutine Hi everyone I'm writing a filter driver for a device, which I install a completion routine so that I could do extra processing after the IRP has been processed by the lower driver. AFAIK, I've got two options for my CompletionRoutine 1. Do whatever I need to do inside the CompletionRoutine, then return with STATUS_SUCCESS. 2. Queue a work item, which will later call IoCompleteReturn, and then return STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED. I've tried successfully with method 1 (which is simpler). However, I'm not sure if that's safe, since sometime my processing could take up 1-2 seconds to do. Could anyone tell in which case should i use the 1st method, and which case should I use the 2nd one? And the IRP being processed inside my CompletionRoutine will never be canceled by anyone, right? Another question, assuming that the lower driver completes the IRPs in its work queue (PASSIVE_LEVEL) most of the time, am I safe to say that my CompletionRoutine would be called in PASSIVE_LEVEL most of the time too, or is it system dependent? Thanks for your help Hai. Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70886

    - IoQueueWorkItem accessing flag or return value? Hi folks, I am writing a custom kernel device driver that calls the RtlCheckRegistryKey to check the registry for a value on every keystroke. Basically I created a call-back function thread using the IoQueueWorkItem to get the RtlCheckRegistryKey to be ran at PASSIVE_LEVEL. I pass down a struct to the IoQueueWorkItem routine (IN PDEVICE_OBJECT DeviceObject, IN OUT strQueuedWorkItem *Context) That contains pIOWorkItem and certain flags etc. When the RtlCheckRegistryKey value is called I need to set a flag in the struct to say registryChecked. My problem is that I cant seem to get access to this structure and the set flag after it has been passed to the call-back routine even though I am passing the struct by pointer? Can anyone help me alleviate the problem or know of another way to access a global driver flag that I can check in the calling function to the IoQueueWorkItem Thanks in advance for the help, Cheers, Con Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70883

    - IOCTL_STORAGE_RESET_DEVICE = error "incorrect function" The device is type CDROM, is not on a scsi bus and not a scsi device. This complies with the ioctl usage per MS. I code in pascal but the C version of devio I'm using would be I think ... DeviceIoControl(handle, IOCTL_STORAGE_RESET_DEVICE, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, &returned, NULL); ... devio returns an "incorrect function" error. The parameters are per MS as far as I can tell. I can substitute IOCTL_STORAGE_EJECT_MEDIA and it works fine. Thanks for any ideas, Bill Mudd Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70867

    - USB drivers oddity on Win2K This is strange, and I'm wondering if it's something I've done. We have a USB composite device that has two endpoints, one of which is used as a debug channel and one which is a mass storage interface. The mass storage interface works just fine.. however.. When our system (Windows 2000) crashes, it sometimes forgets that it needs the "USB Composite Device" driver and we have to manually reinstall it! This is somewhat tedious and painful, as you might expect, since it looks like that driver has to be reinstalled for each port that we're putting one of these devices on (ugh). I've looked over our debug interface driver code and I can't find anything that would cause Win2K to decide it doesn't need the composite interface any longer. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Does WinXP handle composite devices better? Are there any known issues with composite USB devices under Win2K? All help appreciated, I'm running out of hair to pull out! Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70857

    - UNIDRV Banding Line Count error? Hello, I've got a rendering plugin with ImageProcessing doing RGB24 to CMYK custom halftoning. (That is, DevNumPlanes = 4, DevBPP = 1, DrvBPP= 24.) The conversion itself works fine, *except*: when UNIDRV is doing banding, if the last band is shorter than the previous bands, the difference (in lines) is added to the print as garbage raster data. E.G: for a 3300 line Letter page: ImageProcessing reports 4 x bands of 664 lines, then one of 644. What is printed is the 3300 lines expected, plus (664 - 644 =)20 lines of garbage. For a 3750 line page: ImageProcessing reports 4 x bands of 752 lines, then one of 742. The expected 3750 lines print, plus 10 lines (752 - 742) of garbage. It *looks* like when Unidrv splits the page into bands, it's not tracking the actual count when passing the bands to Output. Comments? Suggestions?? I'd rather not do the compression and output to spooler myself, if there's a known fix for this issue. Thanks! -- Joe C. -- J.C. Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70856

    - Miniport's IOCTL interface performance issue. Hi all, I have written a NDIS 5.0 virtual miniport driver that send and receive packets from a usermode application via Direct IOCTL interface. All seems to be working well, except that the miniport drops packets if it receives more that about 3000/second. I have implemented a receive buffer in the miniport and it is clear that the miniport receive all the packets from the above protocols and queue them accordingly but the IOCTL interface seems to be to slow to handle all of the packets, so the queue overflows. Is there any way to improve the IOCTL interface's performance? Thanks, Amos Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70836

    - Driver design thoughts Yes, I'm a driver newbie... We have an open source kernel driver that needs accurate and high-resolution timestamps in order to stamp communication packets. Then, we have an external reference clock producing these timestamps. The problem is to forward these timestamps to the driver. My plan is to write a new driver that interfaces the clock (with serial based protocol) and exports a method for the existing driver in order to request timestamps when needed. This way the existing driver would stay as intact as possible. Does this sound reasonable to you? As far as I understand, my new driver would not be a real "device driver" representing any device, but a kernel-mode helper library. So, what type of driver it should be? Any other thoughts of architectural design? Thanks Ali Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70832

    - scsi rescan caching Hi, Regarding the Microsoft own rescan.exe, as found at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308669 I have found this very utility and particulary the CM_Reenumerate_DevNode() call, which is used within to do actual bus rescan, are behaving as if there is some caching involved. Test as follows: 1. run rescan over and over, from command line, as fast as you can (or write a shell script to do it) 2. Observe how long does it take, each time, for rescan to finish You will see the very 1st rescan does take some time to finish while all subsequent are returning IMMEDIATELLY. Then again, after 30 or some iterations, rescan AGAIN takes some time, as if it actually doing something. I made no device additions in that time. Machine was idle. Test is reproducible. Note I did above test with both NORMAL and CM_REENUMERATE_SYNCHRONOUS setting for CM_Reenumerate_DevNode(), same behaviour. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Robert Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70808

    - "build" not showing all build - fixed Several months ago, I noted that the DDK "build" utility would in some cases NOT show all errors encountered during a build. I have today found out that this is a side effect of installing the Windows DDK to a path containing spaces. Moving the DDK to a space with no spaces, allows all errors to appear as expected. If anyone is interesting in troubleshooting the DDK build utility, here's a quick way to reproduce it: 1) install DDK to C:\Program Files\Windows DDK 2) drop the 3 files listed below into C:\temp\ 3) Launch a build environment DOS window (in my case Windows 2000 checked) 4) in directory c:\temp, type "build -cZ" ==> The only error shown is an *.obj file missing. The *.log file, however, lists lots and lots of errors. Here are the files I used to reproduce the issue: makefile ========= !INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.def sources ========= TARGETNAME=temp TARGETPATH=obj TARGETTYPE=DRIVER C_DEFINES=-DNDIS_MINIPORT_DRIVER SOURCES=temp.c temp.c ========= #include <ntddk.h> #include <ndis.h> NTSTATUS DriverEntry( IN PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject, IN PUNICODE_STRING RegistryPath ) { return STATUS_SUCCESS; } Good luck! Maybe one of these days the DDK will allow people to use spaces in their paths & filenames.... :-) / Hannes. Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70804

    - uDAPL on Windows? I need to write a driver for a set of PCI-Express boards and there has been a request for supporting uDAPL as the API for interacting with this hardware. The implementations of uDAPL on windows that I have seen appear to be in their infancy and there is a surprising lack of information out there describing what a driver needs to provide for services in order to support this API. Can anyone point me to either some really good documentation or tell me another API that is more "at home" on Windows that would accompliush the same thing (an RDMA type of aAPI).

    - Problem writing extension unit plugin. I am writing an extension unit plug-in for a USB video class device. The example that I have used as a template, is the Microsoft provided example at [http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/stream/vidcap/USBVid-ext.mspx]. I have experienced quite many problems with this example, the IKsNodeControl described in the example can't be found in any new SDK or DDK, only in DirectX SDK from 2004. Has this interface been removed? I am quite uncertain how I should implement my CreateInstance() method and my QueryInterface() method. Does anyone have some idea or some hint of how I should do? Best regards: Leopold Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70788

    - problem of providing my own version of malloc/free Due to some reason, I have to provide my own malloc/free/calloc functions so that other parts of the driver are happy. These functions are simply a wrapper around ExAllocatePool. However, when I compile it, the linker complains: "warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _free imported in function xxxx". This is the free() function: void __cdecl free(void *p) { ExFreePool(p); } How can I get rid of this message? Thanks Tag: DIFxApp Tag: 70763

An idea: in debug mode Windows file protection allows overwriting of
protected files. Are you trying to replace a protected system file?
