On reflection, I'm not sure this is the whole story. Megazeux uses about
16 colours, in 80x25. It is also crashing, as far as I can tell,
once into game play. Nothing moves. The program "c:\vgaon" in Dosemu
exits with the remark "Video Bios not mapped". The video is a Chips&Tech
65550, running a dual scan 800x600 display, but Dos (Which defaults to
640x480) fills the screen. I am getting wierd panels of colour at
various points.
Dosemu 0.66 would exit with a protection fault; if I went in
with a -V (the vga switch... -v?) I would get two orange horizontal
bars across the screen and LINUX would hang. Yet this is an untidily
programmed, but simple Dos program.
The laptop is an Acer 370 (P120)
