You'll have to try it under the console. It will probably work there if
you have dosemu working there.
A planar video mode such as 0x12 (640x480x16 colours) is quite difficult
to emulate with the techniques used in DOSEMU in a window (X or no
X (e.g. MS), it doesn't matter). Hans Lermen told me that Steffen
Winterfeldt thought cpu-emulation is probably the fastest way to implement
it (i.e. it would be slow).
Maybe the emulator bochs (www.bochs.com) can do it. I haven't tried.
