DOSEMU 0.60.1 with X11 - keyboard doesn't work

DOSEMU 0.60.1 with X11 - keyboard doesn't work

Post by Alexander Sirotk » Wed, 03 May 1995 04:00:00



I have dosemu 0.60.1 and it works fine but I can't use it
with X11 - all the key (except Enter, Del, Arrow keys and F?)
don't work.

Any idea what's the problem?

The problem is new with v0.60.1, you must add the "keycode" command under
your X support section, i.e.,

<90>
X { updatefreq 8 title "DOS in a BOX" icon_name "xdos" keycode}
                                                       ^^^^^^^

This should help.

Quote:>X { updatefreq 8 title "DOS in a BOX" icon_name "xdos" }

Should be: X { updatefreq 8 title "DOS in a BOX" icon_name "xdos" keycode}

As it says somewhere in the docs, wherever it details changes from
0.60.0 to 0.60.1 (since it's one of the changes).

1. DOSEMU 0.60.3, Linux 1.2.11 and Thinkpad 755cs - Graphics won't work

Thinkpad 755cs, Linux 1.2.11, DOSEMU 0.60.3 works great with video { vga } but
won't start (ie abends) with video { vga graphics } combinations. Any clues?

The reason I am trying this is to get the PC DOS 6.0 editor working. It won't
come up with just video { vga } (like, it just returns to the C: prompt with
no word as to why!). Is the video clause in dosemu.conf even my problem here?
