Hello there,
I'm trying to get a graphical display with Dosemu under X11, specifically
so that I can run the emulator for the Psion Series 3a handheld, which needs
plain VGA. I need to use the X version since I have a fixed frequency monitor,
and the only res I can use with it at the moment is 1280x1024.
Without graphics, xdos runs without a problem. This is version 0.98 I have
here, as distributed with Slackware 3.6. When I try the VGAON utility (just
as a test) I get the following output in the console window:
ERROR: CAN'T DO VIDEO INIT, BIOS NOT MAPPED!
According to my understanding of the config file, the BIOS *is* mapped (we are
talking about the video BIOS here, I assume). The relevant bits are:
$_graphics = (on)
$_videoportaccess = (on)
$_vbios_seg = (0xc000)
$_vbios_size = (0x10000)
$_vmemsize = (1024)
$_chipset = "cirrus"
Could the above error mean that the BIOS is mapped to the *wrong* address,
rather than not being mapped at all as it implies?
Any help would be appreciated.
