DOSEMU problems
Hi all, I am using DOSEMU v 0.98.7.0 with kernel 2.0.36 and DOS 6.20 PS/2 mouse which is /dev/psaux and /dev/mouse. dosemu.conf uses /dev/mouse, type ps2. I have mouse support compiled into the kernel. When gpm is off, the mouse is functional under DOSEMU (in 'edit', for instance), except that there is no mouse cursor. I can move the mouse around by guessing where it is. If I enable gpm, then I get a cursor, but the mouse has only gpm functionality, i.e. the DOS program doesn't see the mouse, so I can't use it to click on menus. The only other thing I've thought of is recompiling without mouse support, but that doesn't seem reasonable. Any ideas on how to get normal DOS mouse functionality _and_ a cursor? Another less important problem: The DOS extended charset characters are wrong in DOSEMU. Again in 'edit' for example, the borders are made out of '|' instead of the extended characters. I can live with it, but just wondering if it is normal. Thanks, Steve Stancliff
Two dosemu problems--second try
Can anyone shed any light on these? (1) I can't start dosemu in an X-window or use the modem except as root, even though I have all c_all permissions set for myself in the user config file. (Before I upgraded from v.66 to v.98.1 I was able to run under X, but I didn't try the modem.) (2) When I open a session in a dialup/3270 emulator package I use (Passport for dos), the cursor becomes invisible. (The cursor is visible when I first start the application, but vanishes when I open the terminal session.) None of the video settings for dosemu under X looks like a likely fix, though I have tried changing them. Thanks in advance. -- Curt Daugaard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Two dosemu problems--second try--ONE SOLVED
So I'll respond to part of my own post. In searching usenet, I happend upon a solution (probably not the right one) to problem #1 (running under X and using the modem). Running xhost +host machine name got dosemu running in an X-window. (Huh, didn't used to have to do that.) Also, apparently in dosemu for an ordinary user to dial out the ttyS* device has to have group write permissions. I still have in invisible cursor, however.

Dosemu problems
I have read the HOWTO and followed the instructions. IN my /etc/dosemu.conf I
have a line
disk {partition /dev/hda3}
and added a line
lredir d: /linux/fs\dos in autoexec.bat both on my dos partition and in
/usr/lib/dosemu/commands.
When I go into dosemu and type d: I get a directory of approximately he right
size but there
is a directory listed with unidentifiable characters. What do I need to do to
correct this
and get dosemu working properly?
Thanks
Lance

Hi, I installed the dosemu-package (stable-distribution) but the config-file is missing (should be /etc/dosemu/conf) and I cant find a readme how to create one... Anyone?

I've inspected the dosemu_0.66.3-1.deb package it contains : -rw-r--r-- root/root 28011 May 5 13:36 1997 usr/lib/dosemu/config.dist that should be what you're looking at I guess the .deb package should put it directly in /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf and replace the previous one (if it exists) by a dosemu.conf.orig or sthg like that... -- Jean-Michel Rouet (thesard Dpt ITI) | Tel : +33 298 001 730 ENST de Bretagne| email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] 29285 Brest Cedex | France | http://www-iti.enst-bretagne.fr/~rouet/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Dosemu-problems
Verify that /usr/lib/dosemu/config.dist exists go to /etc as root do a $ rm -f conf $ ln -s /usr/lib/dosemu/config.dist conf and that should do the job ! Dear Jean-Michel, thanx a lot, that was the solution.

Re: DOSEMU problems
you need the xcompat package, the dosemu that is included in debian is still aout. shaya -- Shaya Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 13 Sep 1996, Marc Weeber wrote: Hello Debians, I compiled the kernel with the necessary requirements for DOSEMU.
