Please excuse me if this problem has been discussed before, but I am new to this list and wasn't able to find any reference to my problem in the archives. First a little background on the machine I'm using: Mandrake 6.1 Voodoo 3500 AGP video card XFree86 that comes with Mandrake 6.1 -- using the SVGA server 16 bit color depth @ 1024 x 768 resolution 128MB RAM Abit BP6 MB w/single Celeron 366 -- not overclocked (yet) DOSEMU .99.13 The problem I experience is when I try to run 'xdos.' I used to have the VGA font problem, but that is fixed. The problem I have now is when I try to run xdos, I can't get any text to appear. I know xdos is working, because I can type commands and see weird video corruption at the very top (1/10th) of the of the xdos session. If I run the DOS 'edit' command, the screen then displays completely correct, but as soon as I exit, it goes back to being all black except a little bit of the video corruption at the top of the screen I was talking about earlier. To make matters even more interesting, there are some programs that will actually "fix" this problem. For example, there is a CoCo 3 emulator I tried running from inside xdos. I know the command, so I can start it without actually having to see the command I'm typing. Once it starts running, the display looks fine. When I exit the emulator, the xdos session works perfect. I can see all the text just fine. I do know that the CoCo 3 emulator does require SVGA graphics, so maybe it "initializes" something for my display that xdos doesn't when it first starts. I know this is not a lot to go on, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with this problem. Thank you!
