Re: Windows Vista Speech Recognition and Cygwin/X
Paul Loewenstein wrote:
The XWin server uses primarily hardware scan codes for interpreting the
windows WM_KEYDOWN and WM_SYSKEYDOWN messages. Unfortunately, Vista
speech recognition (WSR) doesn't bother to fill in the scancode field in
the lParam entry. Neither does SendKeys.SendWait(), which is what
Vocola 3, a recently released supplement to WSR, uses to send input to
applications.
To work around these Microsoft bugs, I modified winkeybd.c as follows:
void
winTranslateKey (WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, int *piScanCode)
{
intiKeyFixup = g_iKeyMap[wParam * WIN_KEYMAP_COLS + 1];
intiKeyFixupEx = g_iKeyMap[wParam * WIN_KEYMAP_COLS + 2];
intiParamScanCode = LOBYTE (HIWORD (lParam));
to
void
winTranslateKey (WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, int *piScanCode)
{
HKLdwhkl = GetKeyboardLayout(0);
intiKeyFixup = g_iKeyMap[wParam * WIN_KEYMAP_COLS + 1];
intiKeyFixupEx = g_iKeyMap[wParam * WIN_KEYMAP_COLS + 2];
intiParamScanCode = MapVirtualKeyEx (wParam,
/*MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC*/0, dwhkl);
so that the scan code is regenerated from the keycode.
diff is your friend :-)
An initial test appears to work. However, it is not clear to me whether
I have introduced some subtle bugs. For example, its correctness depends
on extended codes having the same scan code as the non-extended
equivalent on all keyboard layouts.
How about writing it in the following form, that should address that concern,
if I've understood correctly (in all cases, assuming 0 is never a valid scancode)

Can someone tell me if I've broken anything? Or suggest a more robust
fix? It would be nice to be able to release it rather than having a
privately distributed modification solely for Vista speech recognition.
Well, my keyboard seems to still work with the above change. I don't think
there will be a problem including a patch like this, provided we can be fairly
confident it hasn't broken normal keyboards :-)

Re: Windows Vista
Cygwin does indeed run on 32-bit versions of Windows Vista. Don't know about 64-bit versions. In my experience, there are a few catches to getting Cygwin to work on Vista: 1. Run the Cygwin setup as Administrator and in XP Compatibility Mode. 2. I had better luck when I did the install in two stages: First, I just downloaded the packages, then I ran setup again and chose the install from local repository option. 3. After installation, run Cygwin's rebaseall command from an ash (not bash) shell. 4. When you finally run the Cygwin bash shell for real, be sure to use Vista's "Run as Administrator" option. 5. Also make sure that your firewall is not blocking Xwin.exe or bash.exe. FWIW, the Xming X server works just fine on Vista, and you can use Xming as your X Server when running PuTTY or many if not all of the Cygwin X-based apps.

Re: Windows Vista
I still haven't been able to get Cygwin/X working under Vista yet. I was able to use XLaunch and fire off X applications from the cygwin shell. http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ Be sure to set up $DISPLAY in your .bashrc: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 I'd love to know if there's a better way, though.

I just installed on Vista yesterday and all I had to do was click on setup.exe. Vista asked to run it as administrator since the executable is named setup.exe. I didn't have to do anything special.
