Re: Fw: [fd-dev] Dosemu - X windows
I just got in touch with the manteiner of DOSVNC and here is hi reply. This surely is interesting for the freedos project as thare is allways someone who wants to develop a grafical interface. Well it's a bummer that he does not have the code, hopefully he can recover it and post it since it would be nice for somebody to move on with the project. In fact the sources were online all the time. I just downloaded them :) Alain --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

I think text mode is okay for many things, and as said, it is fast. Well you can certainly run dosemu (and hence DOS programs) remotely. The way it works is that * DOS programs write to the text mode buffer at 0xB or 0xB8000 * n times per second, (n=5 by default), DOSEMU examines the text buffer and tells the contents to the Slang library. * the Slang library can then compare the screen contents with the old state, and generates terminal escape sequences to update the screen. It depends on your CPU how long this takes. It's quick enough for me.

Re: [fd-dev] Dosemu - X windows
Hi All, It's probably just a matter of time before there is a Linux compatible X server for DOS. With the sources available and with the GPL someone just has to get the spark and a little time :)) I assume that a 'basic' Xwindow server is relatively simple? At least I recall someone writing that somewhere? Someone on this list has to know ;-) It would be nice to just turn on a FreeDOS box and have X come up, ready to go. You could make some nifty networked DOS picture frames out of old computers :) Turn them on and the slide show begins. You could even add sound :) warm regards, john On 22 Nov 2002, Paul Berger wrote: On Mon, 1999-11-22 at 16:59, John M Harrison wrote: I think an X windows server for freedos would be a great addition to the FreeDOS suite. Most cool. It could be small. It could use fonts from the remote server. The best of both worlds. As far as I know there are no DOS Xservers other than possibly desqview/x. There is dosvnc that allows you to access a remote GUI session on server. I have played with it a bit to access a Linux box and Windows systems across a network.
