I may have missed messages on this issue on the mailing list, and if so apologies. I have used dosemu 1.0.2.1 for a couple of years under RH7.3 on a dual 1.6GHz Athlon machine, running Generic CADD 6.0 under xdosemu with wonderful results. I recently upgraded to FC2, (2.6.8) and discovered that 1.0.2.1 would no longer run, so I upgraded dosemu to 1.2.2.0. This works fine, but the cadd program now generates its screen a full factor of 50 more slowly than it did before. All of the X and memory settings are unchanged as far as I can see. The speed change is reminiscent of the difference between BIOS graphics and writing directly to screen memory in the bad old days. Am I likely missing something, or has something really changed in the code? The performance is, as I vaguely remember, more-or-less like it was on an 8 MHz 80286.
Another smaller problem is that setting special VESA modes under X no longer seems to work--I have used a 1024x740 mode to allow both the CADD menubar at the bottom and the window titlebar to exist on a 1024x768 screen, and would like very much now to use a 1280x1024 window on a new larger display. Neither seems to be recognized by the same vesa listing code which worked before, at least with the 1024x740 setting. I upped the vga memory to 2048kB to accomodate the larger setting, but still with no results. Thanks in advance for any advice; I would be happy to attach all of or clippings from my .dosemurc if that would help. --jim gunn - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
