Hello.

or back to x I get some kind of weird lock with my monitor going to non active mode and my machine inaccessable. I am running Mandrake 9.0 and the problem occurs both with dosemu 1.1.3.0

Upgrading to the latest pre-release of dosemu will most likely fix the problem, 1.1.3.0 is quite an old.

The graphics card is a nvidia tnt 32Mb as such i have used the plainvga

At least for Radeons this problem was recently resolved.

I have read on one of the old lists that there maybe a bios issue. If this is the case can someone tell me what may need changing and what it does I have amibios simple setup utility 1.24k

Video bios is the one that resides in a ROM of a video card. Your AMIbios setup utility have nothing to do with video bios.

Have just tried applying the combined patchset seemed to go well until:
no rule to make plugin_ioselect.h needed by ioctl.o
Just guessing that this is the kind of reason people like me shouldn't be let loose on developers pre-releases.

I see that using svgalib has become an option with the later versions this may well sort it out.

This one caused hysterics from my brother - sorry the brain transplant is long overdue.
