Bug can be solved in that way: Edit the file default-configure in the root directory of the dosemu source. Search for this block:
x) if [ "$2" = "off" ]; then STRING="$STRING --without-x"; fi ;; and replace it with the following: x) if [ "$2" = "on" ]; then STRING="$STRING --with-x"; fi ;; Then rebuild the package and X support is working fine. I think this change is needed because the default setting of dosemu has changed. Maybe older versions had "--with-x" as default so in the configure- default file this feature could be disabled. But now --without-x is default and therefor the entry in configure-default is not working any more. Maybe this is an upstream bug and not Ubuntu specific. Haven't checked. -- Missing X support in dosemu 1.2.2-3build1 dapper multiverse https://launchpad.net/bugs/37981 -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
