[...] >=20 > In fullscreen-mode (CTRL-ALT-F) that should work. >=20 Thank you for that suggestion. That works of course (no window manager= any more in fulscreen mode). However fullscreen mode sometimes causes= that a part of the screen (a kind of menu at the bottom, a bit like in= Norton Commander, only drawn as "real" graphics) is not drawn. If I g= o back to window mode, this part is still not drawn, but if I enter ful= lscreen mode again, the menu reappears. This is probably due to how th= e DOS program is written. Comparable (but slightly different) problems= occur with Dosbox, only they can not be circumvented. Dosemu only has= them if I switch to fullscreen mode (up to now) and the DOS program is= also more stable in Dosemu. =46ullscreen mode has some more disadvantages: I frequently switch bet= ween different applications, and this takes a lot of time from fulscree= n mode because the screen resolution has to be changed every time. The= same happens *within* the program in fullscreen mode because it someti= mes changes from graphics mode to plain text mode, which also causes th= e screen to turn black for a few seconds. So I'm really hoping I can get the Alt+Fn issue fixed. Are the -k swit= ch and/or the $_rawkeyboard entry in the dosbox.conf meant to fix it an= d it's simply a bug that it does not work? If so, then I should probab= ly give compiling from a subversion checkout a try. (Sigh, I hate doin= g that myself - I frequently fail...)
