FWIW, I'm attaching the video related portions of the hwinfo and lspci output. After adding '$_ports = "range 0xac1c,0xac1f" ', I ran "dosemu -s" and got the following messages: Access to cdrom denied. Kernel: allocated 41 Diskbuffers = 21812 Bytes in HMA FreeCom version 0.84-pre2 XMS-Swap [Aug 28 2006 00:29:00] ERROR: MFS: couldnt find root path /media/CDROM As there's no CDROM on the machine, these may be meaningless. I believe I've mentionned that I see the same "screen cleared/blanked/backed" behavior on 2 machines when running without X. The two machines have different intel compatible processors (one a 300 Mhz Vortex 486SX, the other a 500 Mhz AMD Geode) and different VGA video (XGI Volari Z9s vs AMD Geode LX). What are the chances that, in my newbie ignorance, I have missed an obvious configuration option? Any suggestions what that might be? Regards, David
