Diamond Stealth and DOSEMU - graphics on connsole

Post by James Patt » Sun, 24 Sep 1995 04:00:00



Hi

I have a Diamond Stealth S3 vision 964 2MB VRAM PCI graphics card.
It works fine under XFree86 on Linux.

I have recently installed DOS-Emu 0.60.3.  I have heard reports of people
who can successfully play graphics intensive games such as Descent on the
console.  However, I have tried modifying the /etc/dosemu.conf file in
every permutation I can think of to get graphics - all with no success.

I have also  used the getrom>vbios routine to copy the BIOS information
of the card to a file.

So my question is - is there anyone out there successfully using a
Linux/DOS-Emu/Diamond Stealth S3 964 combination with  graphics on the
Linux console?  And if so, how did you do it?

Thanks

James.

  Yes, I got it to work with my Diamond Stealth 64 2MB VRAM PCI.
Like you I tried lot's of different configurations, but all with no
success. Then I compiled dosemu with REQUIRES_EMUMODULE enabled.
You should uncomment this option in the Makefile.
Then it worked for me.

Hope this helps,

1. DOSEMU and DIAMOND STEALTH 64 PCI 2MB VRAM: GRAPHICS ???

        Anybody knows how to configure dosemu (.60.1) which I run under
Linux 1.2.5 to get graphics. I tried many configurations in dosemu.conf
(and chipset s3 memory 2048) but only simple "vga" without graphics works.
My system is: VIP ASUS-SP3, PCI 2.0, AMD DX2-80, 16MB, Quantum 730 MB,
DIAMOND STEALTH 64 PCI 2MB VRAM.
