Use gpm with the -R option.
Use the internal dosemu mouse driver.
Put the following to your dosemu.conf:
$_mouse = "mousesystems" # for use with gpm, _not_ the real mouse
protocol
$_mouse_dev = "/dev/gpmdata"

I didn't try, so no help possible. Maybe you have to live with it.
Novell dos 7 and drdos 6 change some characters dot matrix to produce
another display of the same ASCII-code. I'm afraid, dosemu can't
handle this situation.

Use the internal dosemu utilities! ems and dpmi can't be managed by the
drdos utilities.
Use in dosemu.conf:
$_ems = (16384) # in Kbyte, put in your own values
$_dpmi = (16384) # in Kbyte, put in your own values
Use in your dosemu config.sys:
device=ems.sys
ems.sys can be found e.g. on /var/lib/dosemu/commands
Thats all!
Read the documentation on the above topics; it will help to understand,
what's going on.
