dosemu -t problem

dosemu -t problem

[Brecht Hoflack]

Hello,

i am using DOSEMU 1.3.3 with direct hardware graphics.  When i call
dosemu with the dosemu -t command the direct graphics don't seem to
work.  Also the Break is mapped as Control X C instead of the Control
Break sequence.  Does somebody have an idea what may cause this error? 
I would like to use the -t switch to use the terminal version of Dosemu.

br,

Brecht

dosemu -s

Make sure $_rawkeyboard = (1).  I think dosemu -s covers that these days 
though but you should check.

dosemu -t is only for text in consoles.  Useful for xterm's with scrollable 
history.

I was actually using dosemu -s -t.  When trying to do this in a Xterm
the graphical part is not working (probably caused by the -t switch).  
So how can i run run Dosemu in X without starting XDosemu (and without
using the -t switch).

It was already configured this way.  Control Break does not work using
the -t switch however.

Opposites.

dosemu -t in an xterm cannot display graphics.  dosemu -s (for console 
graphics) does not work in X.

If you want graphics in X, type "xdosemu" or "dosemu -X" to bring up a window.  
More recently, you can just type "dosemu".

You simply don't want -t.

They are only partially opposites; -s -t may be useful if you want to run 
text-mode DOS with direct hardware access to, say, the native speaker and
parellel ports.

But of course, -t sets pure terminal mode so any graphics are gone.

it works here...

"dosemu -t" is useful in several situations, but scrollable history isn't 
one of them. If you want history, you need "dosemu -dumb", and that will 
only work with pure commandline DOS stuff (no TUIs).

But "dosemu -t" *is* useful in situations like:
* you are on the console and don't need graphics; it starts up a bit
   quicker than dosemu -s. Or you use the console and don't have root.
* you are using DOSEMU remotely on a slow connection or without an X
   server (e.g. Putty in plain Windows, real serial terminals, ...).
* you want to use a DOS TUI which works with more than 80x25 columns.
   (the Watcom Debugger is one example of those).
