i am using DOSEMU 1.3.3 with direct hardware graphics. When i call dosemu with the dosemu -t command the direct graphics don't seem to work.

dosemu -s

I was actually using dosemu -s -t. When trying to do this in a Xterm the graphical part is not working (probably caused by the -t switch). So how can i run run Dosemu in X without starting XDosemu (and without using the -t switch).

Also the Break is mapped as Control X C instead of the Control Break sequence. Does somebody have an idea what may cause this error?

Make sure $_rawkeyboard = (1). I think dosemu -s covers that these days though but you should check.

It was already configured this way. Control Break does not work using the -t switch however.

I would like to use the -t switch to use the terminal version of Dosemu.

dosemu -t is only for text in consoles. Useful for xterm's with scrollable history.

Opposites.

dosemu -t in an xterm cannot display graphics. dosemu -s (for console graphics) does not work in X.

If you want graphics in X, type "xdosemu" or "dosemu -X" to bring up a window. More recently, you can just type "dosemu".

You simply don't want -t.

They are only partially opposites; -s -t may be useful if you want to run text-mode DOS with direct hardware access to, say, the native speaker and parellel ports.

But of course, -t sets pure terminal mode so any graphics are gone.

"dosemu -t" is useful in several situations, but scrollable history isn't one of them. If you want history, you need "dosemu -dumb", and that will only work with pure commandline DOS stuff (no TUIs).

But "dosemu -t" *is* useful in situations like:
* you are on the console and don't need graphics; it starts up a bit quicker than dosemu -s. Or you use the console and don't have root.
* you are using DOSEMU remotely on a slow connection or without an X server (e.g. Putty in plain Windows, real serial terminals, ...).
* you want to use a DOS TUI which works with more than 80x25 columns. (the Watcom Debugger is one example of those).
