1 Greetings,
2
3 For a work related project I've got a DOS program (Borland C++ with
4 graphics library) that I want to run under FreeDOS, DOSEMU, and Linux.
5 The graphics are pretty simple - lines, bars, and an alphabetic font.
6
7 When I start DOSEMU from a Gnome terminal window, the DOS program
8 correctly displays its graphic just fine. When I use a command line,
9 i.e. don't have X running, the program clears the screen but doesn't
10 display its graphics.
11
12 Since the target machine is an embedded 486SX with limited mass
13 storage, operation without X is a must.
14
15 I've got dosemu version 1.4.0.1 built with flags "X gpm -debug -svga".
16
17 Anybody knowledgeable about DOSEMU and its pitfalls for the unwary
18 newbie (namely me :-)
19
20 TIA,
21
22 David
