Dosemu 1.1.5.5 color faults under X

Dosemu 1.1.5.5 color faults under X

[Bernhard Bialas]

Hello,
with the new dosemu 1.1.5.5 version some of my chess programs show completly 
wrong colors under X (not in the console). So for example the menu text is  
yellow instead black, squares grey instead brown, figures green insteas white 
and so on.
This behaviour happens with some (tested: 6) chess programs (Zarkov2, Chess 
Genius 5, Tascbase, Hiarcs 7, Chessmaster 3000). The other shows the colors  
right. Strange is, that with the version 1.1.5.2 no such faults occures (with 
the same dosemu.conf, no changes in X-related stuff).
My system is Kernel 2.4.20, gcc 3.3, KDE 3.1

Best regards
Bernhard

have a look at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=628504&group_id=49784&atid=457447

the patch seq.diff solved a colour problem with Jazz Jackrabbit but might
have caused your issue. Can you give it a try?

Apply reversed using
patch -p1 -R < seq.diff

I have applied he above mentioned patch but no changes in the dosemu 
behaviour. The chess programs shows the same wrong colors.

Dosemu 1.1.5.5 color faults under X

I have made some additional tests.
The color faults under X occurs at first time under dosemu 1.1.5.4. The 
previous version 1.1.5.3 works fine and don't show the color faults.
Hopefully this can help to found the bug.

Best regards
Bernhard
