You have to try it under console.
Make sure to have
$_console=(1)
$_graphics=(1)
in your dosemu.conf.
This will work for VGA modes, but
may not work for VESA modes.

This have nothing to do with XMS.

Better luck with the $_dpmi option
instead.

No, this will not help.
Please see sound-usage.txt on how to
set up midi, and as for adlib, you'll
even need a standalone patch to dosemu.
