   I don't know if there is difference between your usual
 X-fonts and your DOS X-fonts. I have difference: in X they
 are *-koi8-r and in Dos they are *-ibm-cp866.
   So I have special font with ibm-cp866 codepage for xdosemu.
 I've put it in my dosemu dir, /home/bga/dosemu/Xfonts
 (it's for dosemu-1.0.2), put fonts.alias to that dir:
---
vgacyr   -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-p-80-ibm-cp866
---
 and this string to /home/bga/dosemu/conf/dosemurc:
---
$_X_font = "vgacyr"
---
   You can do all this stuff or just add font alias to system
 (if font is already present in system):
 your_font-bla-bla-bla-*.*-codepage

 And $_X_font = "your_font" to dosemurc or dosemu.conf.

I do not have those disks, but it should be possible to
find them on the web:

I don't quite understand why you'd want to run network DOOM (except for
the heck of it, seeing that it works, nice) in DOSEMU but anyway ... 

As you're probably talking about other games here.

The last IPX patch in the changelog dates from 1997. I'm not sure in what
state it is now, particularly with the latest Linux kernels.

A little http://groups.google.com browsing reveals that
- the Novell VLM client should work in your configuration, even
non-suid-root (run vlm in autoexec.bat).
- alternatively with a (suid-)root DOSEMU you can run pdether or pdipx.

You'll have to look up these articles yourself, I've never even tried to
do this.

This patch simply measures a time period of a disabled interrupts
and re-enables them in case of a timeout (timeout is set in
a $_features, my recommendation is 200 usecs).
Doom2 needs this because it uses a popf instr to enable the
ints, which doesn't touch the IF flag because IOPL < CPL and 
doesn't generate an exception due to a 
bug/limitation/feature of an Intel's CPUs.
But force re-enabling the interrupts can hurt other programs
esp. given the current state of the dosemu's PIC code (badly 
broken), that is one problem.
The other problem is that 200us timeout is OK for Doom2
(but as you told, it stutters) but probably not OK for
some other progs and you will have to calibrate it in your
dosemu.conf.

Right, of course it doesn't hurt unless explicitly enabled.
The reason why it is still not in the mainstream (atleast
why I haven't submitted it) is because I have to try some
other ways of solving this problem.
For example we can do a blacklist of a cli unstructions
that have triggered an extended timeout (1 sec for ex)
and ignore (rather than patching out) that cli's for the 
subsequent passes. That will (atleast theoretically) allow 
to get rid of the both stated above problems.

OKey, the confusion here is that my patch deals only with
the following subsystems: SB DSP, SB Mixer and DMA. Other
parts (such as MPU401 and OPL) are yet out of the scope.
So, for MIDI you can use an MPU401 which used to work nearly
perfectly for years in dosemu but you'll need a built-in 
MIDI support in your sound card and /dev/midi configured.
OPL is not supported yet, but I have some plans on supporting
it in the future (with the MAME OPL2 emulator, I think).

> a midi hack would be excellent too. :)
The midi "hack" is not trivial to hack it in:) Even with the
ready-for-use MAME OPL emu, we still need a software mixing
layer to get it working together with a digital sound.

No need: I have never dealt with dosemu's IPX support. So try
dosemu-bugs mailing list CC'ing here at the same time, and 
maybe someone will pick it up. There are many developers 
that are silent in this list, but reading it.

Re: emu serial port help

2002-02-25 Thread gobo

i am running 1.0.2.
i don't believe i set the $_comX option, but i did set
the option to allow access for port 0x3f0 to 0x3ff. 
the code i'm trying to run does not go through the
bios, but to the hardware.

so, how do i take control of port 3f8 away from linux?
 i suppose i could hack serial.c and load it as a
module maybe.  or i could find an old discrete serial
card and hack the address lines to something other
than 3f8.  i'm still thinking there might be something
a little easier.

thanks,
eddie
