My sources for 3.18.1 are located at /opt/linux-3.18.1. Kernel 3.18.1 is my current kernel. I wanted to upgrade because I read important notes in ChangeLog-3.18.4. This way my kernel will be up-to-date.

• Go to this folder

  cd /opt/linux-3.18.1

• Download incremental patches

  mkdir tmp_patch
  cd tmp_patch/
  wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/incr/patch-3.18.1-2.xz
  wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/incr/patch-3.18.2-3.xz
  wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/incr/patch-3.18.3-4.xz
  

• Decompress these patches

  xz -d patch-3.18.1-2.xz
  xz -d patch-3.18.2-3.xz
  xz -d patch-3.18.3-4.xz

• Apply these patches

  cd ..
  patch -p1 < tmp_patch/patch-3.18.1-2
  patch -p1 < tmp_patch/patch-3.18.2-3
  patch -p1 < tmp_patch/patch-3.18.3-4

• The usual commands to build kernel
  • Nothing to change using command below (I will just click 'Yes' since all my options are already checked)

    make menuconfig

    Notice: Just run make mrproper before command above to keep your kernel folder clean -- if required !--
  • Build everything

    make -j4 bzImage modules

    Notice: If you have a DVD or a film to watch then ....Command above should take a while
  • Install

    make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install
    make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 install
    make -j4 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 headers_install

    Notice: INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 is pretty useful. This flag helps to install binaries with a smaller size

Prerequisites

1. Use winetricks to install all dependencies

   winetricks wmp10 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9 xact_jun2010

2. Using google try to find windowsmedia-kb942423-x86-intl.exe. You need this installer to install libraries so Wine can play WMV files -- based on WVC1 --. If you don't install this then you may get a black screen (just after CAPCOM logo while starting the game).Once downloaded

   wine windowsmedia-kb942423-x86-intl.exe

   Notice: installation might hang at the end. [CTRL]+|C] is your friend

Configuration file - config.ini

$WINEPREFIX/user/yourname/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CAPCOM/Resident\ Evil\ -\ biohazard HD\ REMASTER/config.ini

Xbox 360 controller

A quite difficult to get the same mapping as you are supposed to get in the game. So here is mine

• Unload module xpad

  sudo rmmod xpad

• Plug your controler
• Here is my command

  xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver   --buttonmap X=A,A=X --buttonmap lt=lb,lb=lt

  I guess there might be a better mapping

As I did for Dark Souls using AntiMicro a couple years ago I think Antimicro should be a better solution. I will this solution when I have more time

Winetricks

winetricks wmp10 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9

• wmp10: Windows Media Player 10 so wmv files can be played
• d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9: to avoid any glitch for benchmark

Using libxext-dev 1.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.10 I got this fucking error

_xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen

This error has been fixed for libxext-dev 1.3.3. Unfortunately this version is not available. So I have to rebuild .deb manually

Instructions below help to build packages .deb

mkdir Xext-1.3.3

cd Xext-1.3.3

apt-get build-dep libxext-dev

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxext/libxext_1.3.3-1.dsc \
        http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxext/libxext_1.3.3.orig.tar.gz \
        http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxext/libxext_1.3.3-1.diff.gz

dpkg-source -x libxext_1.3.3-1.dsc

cd libxext-1.3.3/



dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

cd ..

dpkg -i libxext6_1.3.3-1_i386.deb \
           libxext6-dbg_1.3.3-1_i386.deb  \
           libxext-dev_1.3.3-1_i386.deb  \
