Trouble setting ModeX resolutions
Hi, sorry to trouble the list again so soon, but I've found that Dosemu doesn't seem to like properly resizing the window for nonstandard VGA resolutions (like 320x240, 320x400, 360x200 etc)-- It handles the resolutions internally just fine, but Dosemu only resizes itself to 320x200-- if the window is manually resized to the proper geometry, it's fine however. The same is true in fullscreen mode. (apart from the inability to resize the window) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-msdos in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

How can I get it working? You can narrow down whether it's a kernel or dosemu issue. You say 2.4 *and* an earlier version. Which version? How about 2.4 with the current dosemu? I don't have SCSI hardware so it's difficult to test or say much about it.

Thank you. The problem was that I use to unload the scsi modules after
using them. The sg module wasn't unloaded, and while reloading them
the next time, the problem occured. No, all is fine execpt that the
following line in my modprob.conf file don't remove all the modules,
although it has nothig to do with dosemu...:
alias scsi aic7xxx
remove scsi { /sbin/modprobe -r sg sr_mod sd_mod aic7xxx scsi_mod; }; /sbin/modprobe
-r -v --ignore-remove scsi;

I haven't any idea what it's sitting there waiting on The timer interrupt generator is reprogrammed, and the loop is waiting until the timer interrupt has a counter set to a specific value. dosemu can't keep up (100 Hz), and has to catch up. So the program sees the value increasing by amounts 1. This means that the counter never reaches *exactly* the value the program wants to see, it steps over it. Your /dev/rtc patch may help, but I haven't checked that. I haven't checked it with those programs either. I'll give it a try and see what happens. -- Ryan Underwood, [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Dos App hangs with DPMI / PIC problem
Hello, 1. Tried e c316:903a EB e c316:903b 08 the trace becomes different, but the app still hangs... 2. Also tried using freedos instead of msdos. Same thing... BTW, the app is actually a client - server app running on netx. Not sure if this is relevant... Thank you, everyone, for helping out!
