* fragmented screen in Win3.x

I recently installed dosemu 1.4.  When I run windows in a dos box all is 
well EXCEPT that there is a black bar starting about 1/8 of the way from 
the top of the screen that splits it in two.  The mouse straddles this 
bar as if it wasn't there.  The bottom ~1/8 of the screen is then cut off 
and inaccessible.  This occurs exactly the same whether I use the FREEDOS 
provided and load Windows 3.1, or I boot from my old C: drive with DR-DOS 
and Win3.11.  I can't seem to eliminate it by playing with the Windows 
display settings either.  This is on a Fedora 7 system / Asus board with 
integrated Intel graphics.  Anyone else seen this?

Not complaining though!  dosemu 1.4 is a marvel.  For years I've been 
looking for a way to run ImageQuant 3.3 (quantitative image analysis 
software) on Linux.  Crossover Office just crashes.  On dosemu/Win3.11 it 
runs flawlessly (well, except for the screen bar and a slightly funky 
mouse cursor).  Wordperfect 6.1 in text mode with 132-character-wide 
screen is great too, just set "text screen" to "auto".

P.S.  This problem is specific to Windows, when I run WP6.1 in a box in 
graphics mode, it's fine.
