Great!
Hmm, that was just too easy, there
is still something fishy about that.
Do you have $_pci option disabled
or enabled?
If it is enabled, could you try to undo
the patch, set $_pci=(off) and reproduce
the problem?
Oh, please, do that carefully this time:)
The suggested way would be to just
erase and re-install the entire 1.1.3
sources with 1.1.3.7 patchset (1.1.3.7
patchset is an essential part here, as
1.1.3.0 have its own problems with some
video boards). You may also use a default
dosemu.conf as $_pci is disabled there.
That way the chances of any mistake are
minimized.
I want to be certain that it is not a
$_pci option guilty for your problems at
a first place.

Yes, it was printed by the POST routines,
which are now bypassed.

Could you elaborate on that?
This happens only when you terminate dosemu
while in graphics mode, right? How exactly
are you terinating it?
I've never seen such a strange behaveour
here with my Radeon unless I was playing
with VESA (which is disabled for most
dosemu users including you).
