That works but in general you should also copy and adjust dosemu.conf (in
etc) to ~/dosemu/conf. global.conf isn't necessary anymore in 1.1.3.7 (but
it was in 1.1.3) and not used for this binary setup.

When DOSEMU terminates it restores the VGA registers that it knows of;
however some of the extended registers might be missed (changed by the
video BIOS but not saved by DOSEMU).
