Following up, the Knoppix ftp works as a reasonably pain-free method of transfer via network. With DUKE3D I get a reboot on 800x600 video setting, or if I move the mouse around. Did you try the mouse and, if so, did it work for you? Besides high video and mouse, DUKE3D works fine for me, highlighting how really awful I am at shooter games. Since the VCPI basic mechanics are working well, and the various descriptor tables are all passed off at startup and then are the responsibility of the client, I'm not sure where the problem could be. Mouse and extended video, is that pointing the finger of blame to interrupt related code? Stack or reentrancy problems? I dunno. Do you have anything in a basic DOS extended application which uses the mouse that you can test? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
