Damn, that was the solution. Sorry for hurting you with this problem.
(When will xfree support color depth-switching runtime?)

But I still have the problem I reported a while ago (and got no answer)
that if an application in xdosemu runs in vesa, i cannot switch to
fullscreen (well, I can, but then the screen is black - if i switch
back, I get my picture back).

And for the problem above: Are there plans to implement the support of
lower color depth modes if you have a higher color depth?
I mean, it should be trivial to display a 16bit-image on a 24bit screen
(just some shifting of the values). I'm not familiar with the
dosemu-source, if you give me a hint where to start looking in the
source, I'll try if I can get a patch done.
