how fast it is. the sound is great. very cool. i see
a lot of improvements in dosemu since last year.
Yes, great work indeed.
Lots of fundamental problems that were ignored for years, were magically resolved.

1. i already read in the mailing list archives that there is no full screen xdosemu. it sounds like there never will be a fullscreen xdosemu either.
Not obviously. At least I think Emmanuel Jeandel wrote an SDL frontend, which can be used for full-screen graphics. I wonder if it is still being developed or dropped (which would be a shame).

however, the game runs but no graphics show up on a console. i enabled svga in the configure process and made sure that svgalib shows up in ldd dosemu.bin.
Yes, SVGA driver for console (direct VESA) is not yet. I was working on it a lot, but stucked due to a linux kernel limitation. I expect to return to the problem and resolve the limitation one day.
For now you can still use a direct VESA with some old cards like S3 or SiS.

i've attached my config file below. any advice?
For now - probably not:( Downgrade your video card to S3 is only what comes in a mind.

2. playing in an xdos box wouldn't be so bad if it would grab the any way to bind the mouse exclusively to the game?
Ctrl-Alt-Home works for me (not any of the 2 Home buttons, but one works), but it doesn't work for some people for the so far unknown reasons.

Still being developed. The current version is
working, but needs to be cleaned up.
I may post a patch in my webpage ASAP (not
until next month).
