Hmm, what about all that stuff in the current documentation saying that this is impossible?
To be removed, most is just a plain crap. Even the parts that were related to WinOS2, were a total crap, see this for instance: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5879796&forum_id=33906
(ring0 access wasn't possible or something like that.)
It still isn't in most cases, yes.
How did you suddenly manage to get this to work :)
The trick is to bypass the windows ring0 startup code and run its kernel directly. It requires only a little of ring0 - LDT read/write access. Virtualization of LDT appeared to be possible. Minimal VxD code was stolen from Wine.
Or do I need to wait for a documentation update for this?
Or you can try to do that yourself, which would be a bit faster than waiting:)
The though just came to me that a screenshot section on the Dosemu site would be nice ;)
I agree that the screenshot section would be nice to have, but as for Win31 - there is nothing new as you could use WinOS2 patch since dosemu-1.2.0. And running the unmodified one gives you no advantages. And you still need the mouse driver from WinOS2 if you want the mouse in Win to work under xdosemu. So it won't be any better than here: http://www.dosemu.org/old Mainly I view that as a first significant move towards win95 support, but nothing more.
