Hello,
I use dosemu-0.98.6 + floppy patch successfully under redhat 5.2 / kernel 2.2.9
on two computers. Main purpose is running old (and fast) WORD 5.0.
In textmode: Really no problem at all (text a n d graphics).
Under X (i. e. xdos): Running word is only possible as long as I
restrict myself to pure text (that is the main editing screen). But
if I try to have a look at the l a y o u t as it will be printed by
a printer, graphics are necessary: And this is what dosemu fails to manage.
I can't recognize anything on that layout - no menue commands, no
text, only the silhouette of the paper. Switching back to the
original editing mode everything is ok again. Having left dosemu
I can read
ERROR: X: X_setmode: video_mode 0x06 not supported on this screen
What does this mean? Wrong configuration or bad hardware? I get
this message under both a matrox mystique 8 MB and an S3 virge 2 MB (notebook
lcd).
Well, and this is part of my dosemu.conf:
$_X_keycode = (on) # on == translate keybord via dosemu keytables
$_X_blinkrate = (16) # blink rate for the cursor
$_X_font = "" # basename from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/*
# (without extension) e.g. "vga"
$_X_mitshm = (on) # Use shared memory extensions
$_X_sharecmap = (on) # share the colormap with other applications
$_X_fixed_aspect = (on) # Set fixed aspect for resize the graphics window
$_X_aspect_43 = (on) # Always use an aspect ratio of 4:3 for graphics
$_X_lin_filt = (on) # Use linear filtering for >15 bpp interpolation
$_X_bilin_filt = (on) # Use bi-linear filtering for >15 bpp interpolation
$_X_mode13fact = (2) # initial size factor for video mode 0x13 (320x200)
$_X_winsize = "" # "x,y" of initial windows size (defaults to float)
$_X_gamma = (100) # gamma correction
$_X_vgaemu_memsize = (8192) # size (in Kbytes) of the frame buffer for emulated
vga
$_X_lfb = (on) # use linear frame buffer in VESA modes
$_X_pm_interface = (on) # use protected mode interface for VESA modes
$_X_mgrab_key = "" # KeySym name to activate mouse grab, empty == off
$_X_vesamode = "" # "xres,yres ... xres,yres"
# List of vesamodes to add. The list has to contain
# SPACE separated "xres,yres" pairs
$_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 = (0x1000)# set the size of your BIOS (e.g. 0x8000)
$_vmemsize = (8192) # size of regen buffer
$_chipset = "matrox" # one of: plainvga, trident, et4000, diamond, avance
# cirrus, matrox, wdvga, paradise
Should I change anything in this file? Or what else should I do?
Dosemu-0.99.10 didn't help...
Thank you,
Juergen.
