Hopefully, documenting these problems will prevent a lot of redundant bug reports.

Quicken is really the only dos app I'm interested in and it's dead-dog slow under xdos. I haven't tried playing with the "hogthreshold". That might help, though. > using dos on the console and with TERM=linux, I have weird problems > with the keyboard. Cursor keys sometimes work, sometimes they > don't. Activating numlock helps. Strange. I have not experienced this one. My problems on VCs are the following: o no cursor o when I switch back to a running X session, the X session dies and xdm starts another, which dies, etc., etc. > on the console, I have a very hard time to set the mouse up.

There are some mouse drivers on tsx-11 under the dosemu directory. You might try those, too. > Thanks for providing the Debian package and I hope you don't mind me > bombarding you with these unsollicited questions. I'm pretty stressed with school so don't expect too much from me. :-/ :-) > #serial { mouse com 1 device /dev/mouse } <-- I tried various combinations > #mouse { logitech internaldriver } <-- of these settings, xdos > #serial { com 4 device /dev/modem } <-- works these commented out That's strange. James just told me something about needing to comment these out, too. I didn't realize that it was required to get xdos to work (I thought he was talking about running on the VC). On my system xdos works, even when I have a mouse enabled. The fact that performance is so hardware-dependent sure makes supporting dosemu an interesting job! :-/ I'm cc'ing this to James. Hopefully, the additional information will help. --Mike PS: James, the above comments all apply to the dosemu 0.60.3 package I compiled for Debian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Michael E.
