I have a linux system running a compiled version of kernel-2.2.10 on an
AMD-K66-2/266, on which I'm running the dosemu-0.98.5-1.i386.rpm package,
which does not have the submit-bug-report utility. I have a video problem
with an old program, called Chartpro, which uses ega graphics. Chartpro draws,
for each datafile selected, a graph of stock prices over time; followed, below,
by a second graph of the corresponding volumes. Both graphs have the same time
line for their horizontal axis, while the vertical values are different. The
top graph has price numbers while the bottom one has volume numbers. These
vertical numbers should be printed on the right side of the screen, but they
are missing when I run Chartpro under dosemu-0.98.5. Except for this omission,
the graphs are correctly drawn.
I am running dosemu as root. I am running drdos7.03, both directly and under
dosemu. Chartpro works properly when run directly under drdos. It also worked
properly under msdos6.2, both directly and under dosemu-0.60.3, which I had
compiled on my old kernel-1.1.28, 486DX25, linux system.
I am enclosing my dosemu.conf and dosemu.users, as well as the debug output
from a failed attempt to run Chartpro using "dos -D +v9 -o /tmp/debug". Also,
video bios shadowing is disabled. Any help you can give me will be greatly
appreciated.
