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.

Ted,
        I had the same problem with my Dell PC. If I had "console" in the
line, the screen would blank, I'd get really colorful garbage and have to
reboot to get my monitor back.

        The problem seemed to be having only 512K of video RAM. I upgraded
to 1MB of video RAM, uncommented the console line and all works well now.
