Game problem Re: Freshly installed dos-6.22 with disk image doesnot work

2002-11-29 Thread Boszormenyi Zoltan
 Now I tried some games, some worked, some didn't. E.g. doom2 didn't,
 supaplex (a boulder dash clone) did. Now back to work. ;-) 


After setting up doom2 to no sound, it works.

Supaplex uses a kind of split screen, the lower part contains time
and other status info, the upper part is a 2D scrolling screen.
The problem is that under xdosemu, the lower part is scrolling, too
where it shouldn't.
Pinball Fantasies does not start, I do not know why, maybe because of the
network drive?

Serf City (Settlers I) starts but its mouse handling is too fast(?):
the mouse is too sensitive.

Xmas Lemmings: the screen is flashing, movements are too slow.
It also uses the split screen VGA feature. Maybe it polls the
horizontal retrace too much?

Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi

You haven't applied the necessary
patches from here:
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/stas/
so what is to expect.

Vga emulation is far from perfection,
use dosemu in a console mode instead
to get the proper graphics.

Unlikely.

Yes, there is something weird with the
mouse driver of dosemu. Under console
you can use an external mouse driver
however. Also try fiddling with emumouse.com.


2. in xterm type xset fp rehash to make
your X server to search for the new fonts.  
 But I did neither this not /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs reload.
 Today morning I switched on the machine, the font is working, as I 
 expected.
But you asked for the way of doing that
without restarting an X server, didn't
you? Hmm...

Don't use setup-dosemu script for now as it removes some important
options from compiletime-settings.

 What options are important that it removes?

Just compare the fresh compiletime-settings
file with the one created by setup-dosemu to
see which ones.


I compiled 1.1.3.7 with just static linking (while investigating why
it wouldn't compile I removed all other options using setup-dosemu)
and dosemu seems to run OK now.

The removed options doesn't necessary
lead to any real problems. Removing
them only limits the flexibility.
So while the goal of setup-dosemu is
to let you alter the options, in fact
you end up with the default ones, not
even knowing about that.

Re: DOSEMU does not pick up all packets

Hi again.

I thought I had a clever idea, ifconfig'd up a virtual interface eth0:0
and set $_netdev = eth0:0, but that made dosemu crash so it probably
wasn't. ;)

I'm having problems compiling the dosnet module in RH8.  Gives all sorts

I don't know if this is doable.  Would I need some sort of program to

How exactly the crash looks like?


I'm having problems compiling the dosnet module in RH8.

It was already reported that there
are problems compiling dosnet under
RH8. The fix is to get the fresh
kernel sources and make a proper
symlinks for /usr/include/linux and
/usr/include/asm


I'd paste only I think I fucked with the file 
already.
Btw, to get the trick working, you'll
(most likely) need the latest dosnet
(ie from dosemu  1.1.3.4).

Hmm, but I supposed your bridging
software can do that. Why are you
limited with bridging between only
2 interfaces?

Ah.

Well, it only listens on one interface, and packs up the packets in IP
and sends them off in UDP through normal networking means.  And listens
for UDP (IPADDR_ANY) and unpacks and puts them out on the interface.

What I'm currently using is SIB, btw.  (It's on freshmeat somewhere if
you want to look.)

Newbie with terminal video problems

2002-11-29 Thread Mushroom
Hi,

I have xdosemu running fine under gnome but experience the mouse click 
problem under kde.

I am attempting to get it running in a terminal and am experiencing some 
difficulties.

When I finish my dos session and type exitemu or attempt to switch terminals 
or back to x I get some kind of weird lock with my monitor going to non 
active mode and my machine inaccessable.

I am running Mandrake 9.0 and the problem occurs both with dosemu 1.1.3.0 
and 1.0.2.1

The graphics card is a nvidia tnt 32Mb as such i have used the plainvga 
setting for unsupported cards.

I have tried lots of settings in the conf file but so far to no avail. 

I have read on one of the old lists that there maybe a bios issue. If this 
is the case can someone tell me what may need changing and what it does I 
have amibios simple setup utility 1.24k (I don't usually even look in there 
as my brother sets up that side of my machine).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any flames for inappropriate newbie behaviour understood.

Paul

PS As an incentive to all my windows me disk is now about 2 programs away 
from becoming a drinks coaster {after I've knicked all the dlls for 
possible use in wine :)}.
