your problem is mostly not video shadowing, but just that DOSEMU does not support this video card and does not open up enough ports. I remember talking about this before when I still used console DOSEMU. Date: 2000/03/28 On Tue, 28 Mar 2000, Tuomas Jormola wrote: > I've got some problems to enable graphics with Dosemu.

For the console, the problem is that "ati" refers to older ATI cards. dosemu probably hanged while trying to initialise the video card, that's why you couldn't type exitemu. Try $_chipset = "plainvga" for now. If that still doesn't work, the following can give you a clue: Run "dos -D+i -o /var/tmp/errors" and analyze /var/tmp/errors to see which ports it tries to access and dosemu doesn't understand. You can enable then in the "ports" section. Don't do this is if you're paranoid about security though. If it works you probably won't be able to do console switching, except to and from X. Bart ----- you could also try a development version of DOSEMU with svgalib support compiled-in and $_chipset = "svgalib". And then still, no guarantees, vesa modes may still be broken, the screen can go black, your computer may hang, and you may harm yourself and your monitor (depends a lot on the monitor though, but older fixed-frequency types are easily damaged). Stas tried hard to get DOSEMU working on his ATI Radeon, and Vesa modes do not work for him. Neither do they in NT DOS boxes.
