I think it's because of the graphics card, ATI Xpert@Work 8MB AGP. In console when I try to run Dosemu and "$_graphics = (1)", it all just goes black. I guess Dosemu doesn't run in the bg since blindly typing "exitemu" doesn't do what's supposed to happen. Luckily you still can switch to another console with ctrl-alt-F# combo and then kill Dosemu. In X it'll start and all but when you try to run a DOS app/game that tries to switch to a graphics mode, Dosemu will crash without printing any error messages into the xterm from which it was launched. When running vgaon.com, it'll say "ERROR: CAN'T DO VIDEO INIT, BIOS NOT MAPPED!". Okay, here's my config (it's a patch againt the default Dosemu.conf distributed with Dosemu 1.0.0): - ------------ - --- default/dosemu.conf Sat Mar 25 05:45:14 2000 +++ dosemu.conf Tue Mar 28 13:22:23 2000 @@ -182,3 +182,30 @@ $_sb_mixer = "/dev/mixer" $_mpu_base = "0x330" +$_cpu = "80586" +$_xms = (16384) +$_ems = (16384) +$_dpmi = (16384) +$_pci = (on) +$_hogthreshold = (0) + +$_graphics = (1) +$_videoportaccess = (1) +$_console = (1) +$_video = "vga" +$_chipset = "ati" +$_vbios_seg = (0xc000) +$_vbios_size = (0x10000) +$_vmemsize = (8192) +$_X_vesamode = "320,200 640,480 800,600" + +$_rawkeyboard = (1) +$_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0" +$_com2 = "/dev/ttyS1" +$_mouse = "ps2" +$_mouse_dev = "/dev/psaux" +$_sound = (on) +$_aspi = "sg0:5 sg1:5" + +$_vbootfloppy = "dosemu.img" +$_hdimage = "" - ------------ The system is a P2/448MHz/Asus P2B mb/128MB SDRAM/Debian 2.3 (unstable), ATI Xpert@Work 8MB AGP, XFree86 3.3.6, Dosemu 1.0.0. I've tried it with kernels 2.2.14 and 2.3.99pre3. The problem is probably $_vbios_* settings. I know for sure that the address of the Video BIOS is 0xc000. I've crawled through Dejanews and Dosemu mailing list archives before posting this message and somewhere I found a message that had instructions how to solve the VBIOS address with msd.exe of MS-DOS 6.22. I'm not sure about the size of the VBIOS, though so I used the default value. Or then it's an AGP issue, or what do you think? Has anyone manage to make the graphic modes work under Dosemu using a system with any AGP board? BTW. About the same config works just fine in both console and X with my old box which has an S3 Trio64 graphics card. I've played many old VGA games with that machine under Dosemu. I just wish I could do the same with the newer system. TIA and regards, Tuomas Jormola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - -- Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death.

For the console, the problem is that "ati" refers to older ATI cards. dosemu probably hanged while trying to initialise the video card, that's why you couldn't type exitemu. Try $_chipset = "plainvga" for now. If that still doesn't work, the following can give you a clue: Run "dos -D+i -o /var/tmp/errors" and analyze /var/tmp/errors to see which ports it tries to access and dosemu doesn't understand. You can enable then in the "ports" section. Don't do this is if you're paranoid about security though. If it works you probably won't be able to do console switching, except to and from X.

NFS's lack of file locking should not be the problem as DOSEMU simply ignores locks on NFS volumes. What DOSEMU are you using?

But now I've encountered some issues with mouse support. In a game that uses mouse the mouse cursor only works in the left-hand side of the screen. When you start moving the mouse cursor from the left edge towards the right edge, in X it'll pop out from the Dosemu window and in console it just refuses to move any further when the cursor meets the center of the screen. When you're using mode 320x200, the cursor stops exactly at pixel 160 (or 159, not sure). There's no problems with vertical movement, though. What could cause this? I've got a standard 3-button Logitech PS/2 mouse, Dosemu 1.0.0, kernel 2.2.14 and following mouse related Dosemu settings: $_mouse = "ps2" $_mouse_dev = "/dev/psaux" $_mouse_flags = "" $_mouse_baud = (0) - -- Yesterday it worked Today it is not working Windows is like that ------------------------------ From: Bart Oldeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 2 Apr 2000 00:49:56 +0100 (BST) Subject: Re: Strange mouse behavior On Sun, 2 Apr 2000, Tuomas Jormola wrote: > I managed to get the graphics work in both console and X (A few days ago Very nice. > an AGP board").

My best guess is the mouse driver somehow doesn't detect the mode correctly. But it could also be issues with the multiplier the mouse driver is using when reporting raw momvement. The multiplier sceneario shouldn't affect the console though. I audited the code a while ago and I didn't see anything obvious, so how to fix this is unclear.

Well I think that is slightly better than average. But sounds about right. Occasionally people have latencey problems with dosemu driving their com ports. And connections run slower than they should.

I rebuilt the kernel to enable power management and I am running apmd 3.0beta9-3.

The hardware clock is set to UTC and using timezone set the Linux local time to eastern standard time. Using 'date' would show eastern standard time. This earlier version of dosemu booted up and used the local time to set the DOS clock. Yesterday I installed v1.0.0 and it initializes the DOS clock to UTC (matching the hardware clock). Is there way that I can tell dosemu to initialize using the Linux local time? This may seem like a trivial matter, but it causes all of the clocks in my dataloggers to be changed thus throwing off the date/time stamp on the data.
