DOSEMU Problem: Why is X support so choppy and no graphics?

DOSEMU Problem: Why is X support so choppy and no graphics?

Post by Arcadio Alivio Since » Sun, 23 Jun 1996 04:00:00



        Is DOSEMU output in an X Window supposed to be that choppy or did
I*up somewhere?  I ran EDIT or QBASIC, and the screen writes are
pretty choppy.  I did set my updatefreq line in the X configuration
section of dosemu.conf to 0 .. it didn't do any good.

        Also, how does one get VGA graphics to work under in an X
Window?  In QBASIC, when I try to switch to a VGA graphics mode (like
mode 13), I get an "Illegal Function Call" error, which apparently means
that VGA support is not enabled.

        BTW - the version of DOSEMU I'm using is v.0.63.1.33.

        Thanks!

1. Why no graphics in dosemu?

Can anyone tell me why I can't use VGA graphics under dosemu?  I get
the following error message:
        int10,0 : set_video_mode failed

Here are the relevant lines from my dosemu.conf file.

***********************************************************
video { vga }          # Use this line, if you are using VGA
#video { cga  console }          # Use this line, if you are using CGA
#video { ega  console }          # Use this line, if you are using EGA
#video { mda  console }          # Use this line, if you are using MDA
#allowvideoportaccess on
#   Any 100% compatible standard VGA card _MAY_ work with this:
#video { vga  console  graphics }
************************************************************

If I comment out the first line and uncomment the last one and the one about
allowvideoportaccess, still no dice.
