vgaon only works if you run DOSEMU as root in the console, and switches 
from "-c" mode to "-V" mode. Very specialistic.

First just try to run what you want in xdosemu, forget about vgaon, if 
that fails try 1.3.3, and only if that fails or is too slow you should 
worry about direct console graphics.

Sorry for the delay in testing this, I just happened to be pressed for 
time lately.  I just tested 1.1.4.9 and found that there is some 
difference.  This may very well be the version where it got worse, and 
from an earlier message I wonder if DPMI is related to that now.  Some 
games would load that I couldn't get with 1.1.15 and vice versa, raptor for 
instance is DPMI and it wouldn't load in 1.1.4.9, I just got it once with 
sound disabled.  The sluggishness each time a sound effect plays is a bit 
worse with 1.1.15 as opposed to 1.1.4.9, but kilo2 and 3 still don't have any 
sound at all, and any game that does, never plays the musical sound track.  
Also there is a significant different in speed when enabling sound or not 
and it usually sounds distorted and broken up with all dosemu versions.  I 
guess implementing sound isn't easy, I hope this might give some clues, 
i'm suprised that no one else has noticed any problems, I wish I had some 
other computers to test it out on.

Does anybody have an hdimage file with MSDOS6.x
installed that I can use?  It dosen't matter what size
it is.

I'd make it myself, but I don't have a floppy drive on
my linux box.

-Regards,
Darryl
