dosemu graphics problem

[David Relson <relson@osagesoftware.com>]

G'day,

I have a DOS application that uses the Borland graphics library to
write to the screen.  The library uses direct hardware access, so
dosemu is run with the -s switch.  When "dosemu -s" is run from a
terminal window in Gnome, FreeDOS starts fine and the application runs
fine.

As the goal is to run this application on an embedded system, it would
be proper to run "dosemu -s" from a terminal session rather than
Gnome.  When this is done, the following lines are output:

    Running as root in full feature mode
    osemu.confot available (outw), save_vga_state failed.

Googling for the second message doesn't find anything useful.  Anybody
know what the message means and how to work around it?

Thank you.

David
