Hi,

I am trying to play some games under dosemu.
With the latency, interactivity improvements and 1000Hz scheduling
in the latest development kernels, some of them (e.g. Supaplex - a
BoulderDash-like game) are unplayably fast, some of them does not start
and take up 100% CPU: Pinball Fantasies, Xmas Lemmings.
Sometimes when xdosemu startup, it does not accept keystrokes.
Sometimes it locks up with a screen:

Linux DOS emulator 1.1.5.2 $Date: 2003/06/14 $
Last configured at Thu Jul 10 10:50:52 CEST 2003 on linux
This is work in progress.
Please test against a recent version before reporting bugs and problems.
Submit Bug Reports, Patches & New Code to linux-msdos@vger.kernel.org or via
the SourceForge tracking system at 
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/dosemu

DPMI-Server Version 0.9 installed

Press F8 to trace or F5 to skip CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT
                                      Cursor blinks here^

Or the autoexec.bat runs to its end, I get the prompt, but the
keystrokes aren't accepted.

And with -D+k I get messages on boot.log like this:
KBD: port60 still has data
Dosemu eats 100% CPU when this happens, DOS must be polling the virtual
keyboard port...

This happens with or without the "-k" switch, with or without the "-D+k"
debug switch.

I used freedos for this test.
