ACPI testing and suspender
Need some help.
I'm trying to perform the ACPI stress test in the HCT 11.2
I need to find out if my machine is s4 compliant.
I read about a thing called "suspender."
Any idea how / where I could get a hold of this utility?

shared printer driver question
I have a monolithic, user mode printer driver installed
on a win2k server and shared. An XP client connects to
it through the add-printer wizard. It works fine on the
XP client, EXCEPT that nothing in printer preferences
gets saved when it's changed from the printers folder. I
am logged in as an admin.
I looked in the registry (on the XP system), and there is
nothing in
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\print\printers.
What am I doing wrong? A Unidrv-based driver seems to
work ok. But it doesn't appear to leave anything in the
registry either.
Thanks,

DrvCopyBits --- HELP
Ok, I have a very simple framebuffer is systems memory and I want to let the
GDI do as much as possible. I think all i need at this point is to
implement copybits correctly. If I punt the call to EngCopyBits i get a
kernel trap and it looks like it's because of a stack overflow. So I'm
trying to do this manually. The mirror sample provides almost no help there
and the framebuffer code doesn't implement it. The permidia samples are so
overly complex. All I'm looking for is an explanation. THe mirror code
lists 3 cases, {sending over wire, pulling, and pushing}. I'de just like to
know what to do in those situations. I'm really curious about sending over
wire. Also, what is a DFB.
Thanks

How long for a newbie to develop a driver?
I'm thinking about developing drivers for a new printer. The drivers will
be for a 1284 compatible parallel port and USB 2.0. Since I have never
written a driver I have no experience to even guestimate the time involved.
I'm not even sure what platforms (Win95, Win98, WinNT, Win2K, WinXP) they
want drivers for yet. They may only want Win2K and WinXP for now.
Anyhow, does anybody have an idea of the time involved to come up to speed
and write a driver for each of these interfaces (1284 and USB 2.0)? From
reading previous post here it seems the rule-of-thumb is about 3 man-months
per driver Any inputs are welcome.
Thanks,

Flushing DMA Buffer Allocated with AllocateCommonBuffer
If I allocate a buffer using AllocateCommonBuffer for use by my DMA and
specify that caching is allowed, how do I flush the data to the actual
memory on a write or clear the cache lines before a read of updated data
when the device writes? Should I just stick with non-cache enable common
buffer? Tag: FDD recovery (direct sector read) woes Tag: 35550

common buffer bus master DMA driver
I'm trying to understand common buffer bus master DMA driver.
In DDK, Audio ac97(C:\WINDDK\2600.1106\src\wdm\audio\ac97) and
(C:\WINDDK\2600.1106\src\storage\fdc\fdc) driver are using
"AllocateCommonBuffer" function. So I assume that only these two
drivers are using common buffer DMA driver. I also read the art baker
book. Which gives very short intro to common buffer, also msdn
documentaion doesn't give full explanation (or I'm not able to
understand).
I've some questions (some ?d be silly as I'm very confused at the
moment;-) ) ?
1- Which sample should I read to understand common buffer bus master
DMA driver?
2- I see in above two examples that READ and WRITE irp not used. How
user program ?ll send/recieve data to/from driver? How startIO
routine and dispatch is connected? Shall I use IoStartPacket? What is
sequence of functions getting called, when data travels from user
program to device and vise versa?
3- Is the dispatch routine between slave common buffer and bus master
common buffer same?
4- MS guys, I downloaded PCIDMA NT drivers sample from micosoft site.
It was very useful for understanding packet based bus master. README
of this sample says that it is for packet based bus master DMA. But
this also uses AllocateCommonBuffer in resource.c file. Is this using
common buffer method also by any chance?
Thanks in advance,

USB USBD_START_ISO_TRANSFER_ASAP
We have been struggling with the USBD_START_ISO_TRANSFER_ASAP flag for some time now.
Our goal is to send data on an ISO pipe with as short delay as possible.
If we boil down our test struggle to a problem scenario we can say that it seems not to be
possible to use the USBD_START_ISO_TRANSFER_ASAP flag if the URB queue in the USDB driver is empty.
We then get the error USBD_STATUS_NOT_ACCESSED (0xC000000FL). It all works fine when we start
a new sending from PASSIVE_LEVEL, then when the first call to our Completion routine we recyle the urb
with the USBD_START_ISO_TRANSFER_ASAP flag set we get the error.
We can not find any restriction for using the USBD_START_ISO_TRANSFER_ASAP, at least of this kind.
This problem occurs on both in Win98 and Win2000. And both on fast and slow machines.
Has anybody had a similar experience?
Can anyone help us out? Tag: FDD recovery (direct sector read) woes Tag: 35539
chained NDIS_BUFFER vs MDL issues (Win98 Win2K)
hello,
I'm developing an NDIS-WDM USB minidriver.
I need to add headers (and maybe footers) to the packet I get from
NDIS for sending.
I have two questions:
1) Can the underlying usb bus driver handle chained MDLs (Win98/Win2k/XP)?
2) If it can, I would like to send it down
(creating URB using for example UsbBuildInterruptOrBulkTransferRequest)
how do I change from NDIS_BUFFER to an MDL?
I know that under NT based OS its the same but I'd like to
be at least code compatible between Win98SE and Win2K.
Do I have to manually iterate the NDIS_BUFFER chain and
create a chained MDL list?

USB interrupt transfer
I was looking at Walter Oney's usbint example and I wonder
what are the possible errors that could have occurred when
the OnInterrupt completion routine is called?
Well, actually what I really wanted to know is that when a
interrupt transfer request is sent to the USB device and
no data is ready on the device, the device will send a NAK
packet. Will my driver receive this error or will the usb
host controller simply retry at the next polling interval
without notifying my driver that a NAK has been received?

Visual Studio 7 and Windows 2000 DDK
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to build the sample code of Windows 2000 DDK with VC7 in the
Build Environment.
I am getting a strange linker error that the debugging information is
corrupt for the last source file's object file and does not produce the
executable (.sys).
I read a KB article (239589) which says VC++6 professional/enterprise is
mandatory for Windows 2000 DDK.
Has anyone faced the same problem? Since VC6 is not available we have to
use VC7.
Please suggest an alternative/solution/workaround for this problem.

What this "common device object" is???
Hi All,
I inherited a driver code, which have a comment:
/**
** in case of common device object, PDO in IRP will be NULL,
** Need to take care of it else in that case driver
** will cause trap.
**/
Now my problem is this when running MS driver test
tool DC2.exe, my driver got an IRP_MJ_CREATE with NULL
PDO and DeviceName, this code is returning SUCCESS in
IRP_MJ_CREATE handler. Then driver is getting an
IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE_RELATIONS irp which this simply
pass to next driver using IoCallDriver, but here
because next driver is NULL, IoCallDriver causes a
trap.
I implemented a workaround for it, by returning
FAILURE in IRP_MJ_CREATE handler, in case if PDO is
NULL. Is it OK?
Also what this "common device object" is?

AVStream Intersecthandler query
Hello All,
I have an AVStream video capture driver. When applications like
GraphEdit, Scanner camera wizard etc create instance of this filter,
the video capture driver's intersect handler is called to agree on the
format supported by the capture driver.
But in case of Windows Messenger the intersect handler of the capture
driver is never called regardless of the number of data ranges exposed
by the driver.
Is there any particular reason why Windows Messenger is behaving so?
Any ways of circumventing this problem?

Simple Driver Development
Hello,
I was just wondering if there was any kind of Printer
Driver (free or with free source code) that allows me to
print only the text held in a document on a file. To make
myself clearer I'll show what I mean by an example:
suppose that we have a Word Document with simple
text "Hello World!" and images; suppose that we have also
the Printer Driver I'm looking for installed; suppose
that we'll use the printer drived by our driver as
default printer. Now let the print start. This print
should generate a file (of course this file is the port
where this driver is redirected to, like the Adobe PDF
printer driver does) - in ex. c:\myprint.txt - that
contains the text "Hello World!" only, without any kind
of text formatting (I thought that this driver should use
an hook on TextOut API Call).
This printer driver must run over any Windows System type
(9x/2k,NT).
Ready to run code is preferred, because I haven't so much
time to spend! I've tried with DDK but is System
Dependent and I think there's nothing that could help me.

Help required in writing Upper NDIS Filter Driver for NDIS-USB
Hello Everyone,
I am writing a NDIS-USB driver for Win2K, WinXP, Win98 and WinMe for our
USB Network device. In Windows XP, surprise removal is supported through
PnP Event Handler. But in Win2K and below, this is not supported as PnP
is handled by NDIS and NDIS does not handle the surprise removal of the
USB device (cable plug-out).
From the mailing lists, I came to know that for Win2K, Win98 and WinMe,
an Upper Filter driver will make the Surprise Removal event get handled
and hence the pup-up message "Unsafe Removal" does not appear.
In this context, I would like to know how to write an Upper filter
driver for NDIS? Is there a sample code for the same?

enable/disable a hardware and needn't reboot os
Dear sir:
I am a man from china. I have developed a card reader
(ms/cf/sd/smc) hardware . Then I have written a driver
for it . Refer to ddk document , a card reader should
belong to storage device . And I find that a scsi
miniport driver is simple and I think that I can write a
scsi miniport driver to control my card reader .
During my driver devolopment , I meet a lot problem .
I will describe it in detail as following :
1) I need debug my driver, So i use hardware device
manager of windows 2000 to enable/disble or
uninstall/install my driver to let os will load/unload my
driver to see the behavior of my driver . Of course , I
use softice to trace the behavior of my driver .
But the when i enable/disable or install/uninstall my
driver , the os said that if you need os to reboot to let
the driver effective . I can't observe the behavior of my
driver for the os need a reboot . Can you help me to let
that the driver can be load/unload many time without
reboot the system .
2) scsi miniport driver must has some procedure such
as driverentry ,findadapter, initialize,
busreset ,adaptercontrol ,interrupt,
startio .....
when i debug my driver, i find that os only has called my
driverentry , findadapter, initialize. the stario
procedure has not been called and the installer then
report that the install has meet an error during
installation .
3) another problem , port driver can get how many SCSI
HBA managed by a scsi miniport driver by calling the
findadapter procedure .
how does the port driver to know how many device has
connected on the scsi HBA card

IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS two-way?
I read a posting on this news group several months ago about using
IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS to set instead of query miniport driver
information (original message attached at the end).
I gave it a try recently, but ran into similar problem as Pavel did.
On XP, it seems working fine. However on Windows 2K, sometimes I get
the right value in the buffer from the driver side(i.e. the
InformationBuffer passed in MiniportQueryInformation()), sometimes the
value is cleared/changed (by NDIS?). Is there something I missed? Do I
need to do something extra either in the user mode application or the
driver?
It will be really appreciated if somebody tried this with success
could share your experience with me.
Thanks a lot,

Thank you Elias!
So, is it perfectly ok to use the output buffer of
IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS two-way?
No doubt that finally the driver gets the output buffer locked down
and
readable.
But that old message I wrote about, discussed a very subtle condition
-
something like that the output buffer pages are marked "clean"
(or what is the right term for this), and if it is paged out just
before
locking it down - it's content gets lost.
(don't remember exact condition, my old Dejanews bookmarks gone for
good...)
My driver sometimes sees the buffer corrupted - all or partially
filled with
0xCD 0xCD 0xCD.....
If this can't be because of this paging thing - I'll look somewhere
else....
Thanks again.
