Hi Japheth, > in vesainit.c, search for "/* update */" You told me off-list that I changed a physical address in a mapping and then assumed that the linear address to reach that area would be the same. In other words, I forgot to call __dpmi_physical_address_mapping again after the change. Hmmm.

Hi Japheth, strange that PCXTEST crashes for you if only HIMEM is loaded. I did not test it with DPMIONE, but I developed it in DOSEMU and used it with CWSDPMI because the latter is the "official" DJGPP DOS extender. I did not test without HIMEM today, but I guess I did test when I developed it
