I was running dosemu 0.66.7 with the following line in my config, which was
working just fine:
video { vga console graphics chipset s3 memsize 2048 }
I upgraded to 0.98.1 and have been unable to get the same configuration
working. I tried
$_video = "vga" # one of: plainvga, vga, ega, mda, mga, cga
$_console = (1) # use 'console' video
$_graphics = (1) # use the cards BIOS to set graphics
$_videoportaccess = (1) # allow videoportaccess when 'graphics' enabled
$_vbios_seg = (0xc000) # set the address of your VBIOS (e.g. 0xe000)
$_vbios_size = (0x10000)# set the size of your BIOS (e.g. 0x8000)
$_vmemsize = (2048) # size of regen buffer
$_chipset = "s3" # one of: plainvga, trident, et4000, diamond, av
I like to run dosemu on one console (to run a background DOS job) and work
in other virtual consoles; I found that I was getting bleed-through on to
my current console from the dosemu process.
The only problem I had with 0.66.7 was that on changing to the dosemu
session's VT, the screen was not redrawn.
I also tried $_console = (0), $_graphics = (0), and $videoportaccess = (0)
in varying combinations. Most recently I console = 0, graphics = 1,
videoportaccess = 0; after changing VTs a few times, the machine locked up
solid! It never does that otherwise. Doesn't seem to matter if I use
$_chipset = "s3" (which is not listed) or just leave it blank.
Any suggestions on getting this new version to run? PLease reply to me directly
(or cc me).
