by I am running a Compaq Contura 4/25cx. (vga 640x480x16) Linux 1.1.45,
slackware distribution. I am having several problems that I believe are
related to video.
1. DOSEMU will run using the "video {vga chunks 1}" option in the
dosemu.conf file. (actually, from 1 to 10000 will work but the higher
the number, the slower the response.) All other options cause a
segmentation fault.
All graphics options cause the screen to blank in all virtual
consoles and force a reboot to clear.
I will provide the dosemu.conf if you need it.
2. "sasteroids"*gave me a "cannot open /dev/mem." error when I
try to execute it. I did a chmod 666 to /dev/mem and now I get a "cannot
access /dev/console." message. Sasteroids worked at first. I cannot
think of anything that I have done that might have effected this.
3. I have been unable to get gs to work. I have not spent much time
on this one, but from my experience with gs for dos, I was able to
display .ps files on the terminal by "gs <filename>" I get a variety of
errors when I try to do this in Linux. I can provide further info if
needed.
This is a slackware load that was d/l from sunsite. The only major mods
that I have made are the installation of the 1.1.45 kernel (compiled from
source) and the installation of dosemu0.53 (compiled from source).
Please Help. I have rtfm. I am not necessarily asking for the answer,
but some guidance towards the answer would be very helpful.
