dosemu - help

Hi,


How can I find somebody that can help me set DOSEMU so that it works for me.
I am willing to pay for the service.



This is my situation:


I have installed DOSEMU 1.4.0 from RPM.
I want to use it with an extended textmode of 132 rows and 43 or 44 columns.
This does not seem to work in a x-window.
So I tried  dosemu -s as root from the console for direct hardware access. I get the following error messages:

     ERROR: term support not compiled in or not found:
     ERROR: /usr/local/lib/dosemu/libplugin_term.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
     ERROR: Terminal (S-Lang library) support not compiled in.
     Install slang-devel and recompile, use xdosemu or console dosemu (needs root) instead.



I also tried this from a terminal window:
     sudo dosemu -s
and got this
     Dropping root privileges: guest or a restricted user not on console.
     can't create local /root/.dosemu directory
     can't create local /root/.dosemu/run directory
     can't open "/root/.dosemu/boot.log" for writing


I am in Frankfurt in Germany.



Thank you.

Hello Harry,

command "mode con cols=132 lines=43" works OK for me under X in dosemu 1.4.
Only things I must specify X font e.g.
$_X_font = "-b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal--0-200-75-100-m-0-iso8859-2"

I use Fedora 7, dosemu 1.4.0 svn1828, freedos kernel build 2036 cvs
  version Aug 18Aug2006, freedos mode version 29apr2004 by Eric Auer.

With internal bitmap font it seems that screen switch to
132 cols x 43 rows (on it is 132x43 ugly symbols and "mode con" say
/redirected to file, of course :)/ :

"Screen size: 132 columns, 43 rows, mode 85, font height 11."

but fonts for new mode aren't loaded. Normal font height in 80x25 mode
is 16. Maybe using DOS display and "mode con codepage" with proper .cpi
font file will work, I don't know. Maybe Bart or someone with better
knowledge about it could say more.

I didn't tried change textmode in dosemu under console, as you perhaps
not needed it.

Best regards,
Frantisek Hanzlik
