the 16 colour modes are not implemented under X.

I tried a whole bunch of old games in dosemu 0.98.6 under X and found that
most of them did not work (I did not try any of them on the console):
Of the games I tried, these games worked perfectly:
Doom 2
Carmen San Diego
Forest Squirrel
Mystic Towers
Jumpman
Champ Kong
Captain Comic
and these games didn't work perfectly (most of them didn't work at all) -
possibly some or most of them try to use 16 colour modes (but not all,
because some of them almost work - the display is a bit messed up but
still readable):
Crystal Caves
Historik
Hocus Pocus
Jazz Jackrabbit
Maths Rescue
Paganitzu
Pickle Wars
Robocod
Sea School
Vikings
Wacky Wheels
Word Rescue
(and several others I can't remember now)
