What's the problem with xdos? Too slow or not fullscreen or it doesn't
work or you can't tell?

The method with gpm -R would be as follows:
start gpm with "gpm -R -t imps2". However, the redirector uses the
mousesystems protocol; in dosemu.conf you then have:
$_com1 = ""
$_mouse = "mousesystems"
$_mouse_dev = "/dev/gpmdata"
without a DOS mouse driver (using the internal mouse driver).
OR
$_com1 = "/dev/gpmdata"
$_mouse = "mousesystems"
$_mouse_dev = "com1"
with a DOS mouse driver.
The first of these two methods is recommended.

Looking at the patch, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. Thanks very
much. Hans Lermen has to decide whether to include in DOSEMU, but I think
there is not much in the way of putting it into both dosemu 1.0.2 and
1.1.1.
One tiny thing:
+ static unsigned char proto[10][5] = {
should be
+ static unsigned char proto[11][5] = {
since you added two new entries?
