When I executed "xdos" I got error: =====> Error in /var/lib/dosemu/global.conf: (line 643) Disk-device/file /var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first doesn't exist. <===== So, I copied existing "/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage" to "/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first". Now I run "xdos" again and I get error: ======> [root@localhost /root]# xdos kernel CPU speed is 233866290 Hz Running on CPU=586, FPU=1 ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: , trying "vga"... ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: , trying "9x15"... <====== Then I tried to run "xtermdos" and I get the following error: ======> [root@localhost dosemu]# xtermdos Hey...I could not find the IBM VGA font for xwindows! To install the VGA font, go into the DOSEMU source directory and type: sh xinstallvgafont Starting xdosemu with default font. If not using the VGA font, you should use the latin character set instead of the PC character set in /etc/dosemu.conf. ERROR: No xterm programs found in /usr/X11/bin Perhaps you don't have Xwindows installed that way? <======== How do I solve the problem ? BTW, I am running GNOME/KDE under X perfectly. Regards, Prabir
hdimage.first problem is fixed, don't know if this was always the case, and you simply didn't have dosemu-freedos installed, or if this is a more recent fix: [root(2)@ironclad dosemu]# rpm -q dosemu-freedos dosemu-freedos-0.99.10-6 [root(2)@ironclad dosemu]# rpm -q --scripts dosemu-freedos postinstall script (through /bin/sh): [ -e /var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first ] || \ ln -s hdimage.freedos /var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first postuninstall script (through /bin/sh): if [ $1 = 0 ]; then if [ -e /var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first ]; then rm -f /var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first fi fi
VGA font problem has also been fixed: [root(2)@ironclad misc]# rpm -q xdosemu xdosemu-0.99.10-6 [root(2)@ironclad misc]# rpm -ql xdosemu | grep vga /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga.pcf Now if only someone at RedHat would notice the added comments and close the bug report :).
OK, we can do that.
