My computer runs Debian continually. However, lately, I have been needing to reboot to dos (a 6 year old daughter who wants to play a couple dos games who it is very hard to say 'no' to).
I have the latest (hamm) dosemu installed for a text based program and have tried to get it to run in graphics mode so the games are more accessible. However, as a normal user I can't get it. If I try to run vgaon it kicks out an error: CAN'T DO VIDEO INIT, BIOS NOT MAPPED. As root from a console I can get the graphics with no problem. I hate to teach my daughters how to gain root access on my computer though just to run a couple games. What can I change to all my normal user account to access the video? David PS. On a related note, it would be nice to get graphics in the xdos windows, but I get the same error as above even logged on as root. Any hints on this one? -- The AtticKeeper: Rev.
