Dosemu does run under X. Either you can simply start it from an xterm
(in which case it looks like an xterm displaying what you would see
if you started it in a text console), or you can start the X version
("xdos", for which look in the /etc/dosemu.conf file under "DOS in a
Box"), which starts up a new X-window for DOS. Either way, however, you
may have problems accessing all the control/function key combinations
which are accessible from the console.
And I have never got DOS graphics to display in an X-window by either
method, while programs which use VGA graphics mostly work OK in the
console (provided this is on the same physiacl machine as the one
running dosemu, and not over a network).
