Hello.

After setting up doom2 to "no sound", it works.

You haven't applied the necessary patches from here:
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/stas/
so what is to expect.

Supaplex uses a kind of "split screen", the lower part contains time and other status info, the upper part is a 2D scrolling screen. The problem is that under xdosemu, the lower part is scrolling, too where it shouldn't.

Vga emulation is far from perfection, use dosemu in a console mode instead to get the proper graphics.

Pinball Fantasies does not start, I do not know why, maybe because of the network drive?

Unlikely.

Serf City (Settlers I) starts but its mouse handling is too fast(?):
the mouse is too sensitive.

Yes, there is something weird with the mouse driver of dosemu. Under console you can use an external mouse driver however. Also try fiddling with emumouse.com.

2. in xterm type "xset fp rehash" to make
your X server to search for the new fonts.

But I did neither this not "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs reload". Today morning I switched on the machine, the font is working, as I expected.

But you asked for the way of doing that without restarting an X server, didn't you? Hmm...
