Re: [Freedos-user] What about changing our packaging style for v1.1?
I like the idea, too. One thing stands to be corrected, though: > - it is not really allowed with GNU GPL License to publish binaries without > sources anyway, GPL enforces to make the sources available. Even a snail-mail address to send a request to (for the source) is usually considered sufficent to meet that part of the GPL.

Re: [Freedos-user] Display size
> Well, I don't get really what program to use and what to enter to switch > resolution? Have a look at the config file. If you are lucky, you will find a textmode there which fits your needs and works with your setup ('STM '). If not, then there is documentation how to create new modes from scratch which can be added to the config file. Sadly, I can't recall too much details right now; that's all some two years ago...

Then try SVGATextMode :) It lets you calculate custom resolutions (although the calculation can be a bit tricky).

Re: [Freedos-user] Display size
> There was also some version called STM which is more tuned towards DOS > than plain DJGPP svgatextmode port I believe, but I forgot the details. More tuned towards DOS? In what way exactly? When I ported this version, there was already some DOS support in the code. Alas, it was completely broken due to the latest Linux additions. So, I made it compile again and changed a bit of the behaviour to be more DOS-friendly. I may be wrong, but I'd think this is the most DOS-tuned version around (let alone that I haven't found a single download for the older DOS-binaries back then). Believe me, there was more involved than just running DJGPP over the code :) All the best, Wolfram - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

It can give very unusual textmodes.
