As for "it works in X but not in console", my explanation is that under XWindows, the dosemu VGA graphics runs entirely in an emulator, whereas at the text-mode console, dosemu tries to access the graphics hardware directly, which fails for some reason... Maintaining X in a diskless "boot anywhere" setup is not an option for me. Effectively it defies the purpose of my Linux+DOSEMU adventure, an important part of which is seamless simplicity :-) The one point I forgot to mention is that I've tried dosemu 1.4.0.0- release and yesterday's latest from SVN and both behave the same. I compile them for i486-pc-linux-gnu for maximum compatibility.
