Hello, I'm trying to use dosemu with SDL as video backend, but runs into troubles. Hardware: * Processor: Celeron 600 (Coppermine) * RAM: 128 Mb * Video: Riva TNT 8 Mb Software: * Linux lair 2.6.19-lair11 #4 Sat Dec 16 01:10:56 EET 2006 i686 pentium3 i386 GNU/Linux * glibc 2.4 * gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 * GNU ld version 2.17 * slsh version 0.7.7-1; S-Lang version: 2.0.7 * DirectFB 1.0.0rc2 multi (kernel framebuffer driver - rivafb) * SDL 1.2.11 * No X installed * No GPM installed Since 1.2.2 has no sdl interface, I'd use first 1.3.4, then svn-20061223, using dosemu-freedos-b9r5a-bin There are compilation instructions: tar -xjvf ../../Packages/dosemu-20061223.tar.bz2 mkdir build cd build unset -v CFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS ../dosemu-20061223/configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-fdtarball=../../Packages/dosemu-freedos-b9r5a-bin.tgz \ --enable-experimental --enable-debug --enable-cpuemu make make install In text mode dosemu runs good. But if I try run it with -S, it fails with: ... SDL DirectFB_SetVideoMode: 720x400@16, flags: 0x00000011 ERROR: general protection at 0xffff: 0 I compiled it with debug support, so, there are logs (/etc/dosemu.conf is unchanged, except $_cpu_emu): # in /etc/dosemu.conf $_cpu_emu = "off" dosemu -S -D +9a -o dosemu-debug.log http://isbear.ho.com.ua/files/dosemu-logs/dosemu-debug.log.bz2 # in /etc/dosemu.conf $_cpu_emu = "vm86" dosemu -S -D +9a -o dosemu-debug-cpuemu-vm86.log http://isbear.ho.com.ua/files/dosemu-logs/dosemu-debug-cpuemu-vm86.log.bz2 # in /etc/dosemu.conf $_cpu_emu = "full" dosemu -S -D +9a -o dosemu-debug-cpuemu-full.log http://isbear.ho.com.ua/files/dosemu-logs/dosemu-debug-cpuemu-full.log.bz2 # in /etc/dosemu.conf $_cpu_emu = "vm86sim" dosemu -S -D +9a -o dosemu-debug-cpuemu-vm86sim.log http://isbear.ho.com.ua/files/dosemu-logs/dosemu-debug-cpuemu-vm86sim.log.bz2 # in /etc/dosemu.conf $_cpu_emu = "fullsim" dosemu -S -D +9a -o dosemu-debug-cpuemu-fullsim.log http://isbear.ho.com.ua/files/dosemu-logs/dosemu-debug-cpuemu-fullsim.log.bz2 And there is log of empty console session: # in /etc/dosemu.conf $_cpu_emu = "off" dosemu -t -D +9a -o dosemu-debug-slang.log http://isbear.ho.com.ua/files/dosemu-logs/dosemu-debug-slang.log.bz2 Before exit (with -D +9a this is very noticeable :)) dosemu some time runs in graphical mode - so, at least, it successfully initializes videomode. Other applications (mplayer, links, zdoom) uses DirectFB without problems, so, I think, this is not DFB issue. Thanks for any suggestions, Myhailo Danylenko P.S. Please, excuse me for my bad English, if so. P.P.S.
