Hi Janos,
dosemu has log in user home directory, '~/.dosemu/boot.log' - is there
anything? In '/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf' You can raise debug level, symbols
for particular sybsystems are (for 1.4.x, but for lower versions it will
be similar):
'A' ASPI 'i' i/o instructions (in/out) 'r' PIC request
'a' Set all levels 'I' IPC 's' serial
'C' CDROM 'j' joystick 'S' SOUND
'c' configuration 'k' keyboard 't' dpmi trace
'd' disk msgs 'M' DPMI 'T' I/O trace
'D' dos int 21h 'm' mouse 'v' video
'#' default int 'n' IPX network 'W' disk WRITE
'e' cpu-emu 'P' Packet driver 'w' warnings
'E' EMS 'p' printer 'x' XMS
'g' general messages 'Q' Mapping driver 'X' X support
'h' hardware 'R' disk READ 'Z' PCI
You are trying run dosemu under console, right? I not sure when is
possible run dosemu in background, as You indicate above. At least
first dosemu start should be run in foreground, because dosemu shell
script (wrapper around 'dosemu.bin', emulator binary) will ask You
about several things (freedos installation etc.).
You have completed this dialog?
Can You try run xdosemu under X Window? It should run fine too.
You write that you did clean install - did You remove stuff in user home
directory as well ('~/.dosemu/*' and eventually '~/dosemu/*', including
~/.dosemu and ~/dosemu directories itself)?
You mean to tell that no one dosemu version (1.2.2 nor 1.4.0.1) works,
and both have same behavior, as You described above?
What is your terminal screen resolution? You are using Linux Kernel Mode
Setting (KMS) to set display mode? What is 'stty -a' output?
Did You install dosemu package with command 'rpm -U dosemu-x.y-z.rpm' or
'rpm -i dosemu-x.y-z.rpm'? Produce this command some error output?
And did You install it as root?
