Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
Xkbd seems to work much better for me when Dosbox isn't in full screen mode, but it doesn't work for everything. So when some of the keys of Xkbd don't work in the DOS program I'm using, then I pull up Xvkbd and that seems to work. I dislike Xvkbd since it uses the entire screen and I have to maximize & minimize with it all the time and that sucks, but I use whatever works. As far as Matchbox goes, I had to uninstall it since it was screwing with my browser for some reason.....links wouldn't work and text selection was whacky too.
Oh if Xkbd would work in OS2008, it would be the icing on the cake for Dosbox. I'm sure it will be fixed eventually, and hopefully it'll be soon. |

Oh, and speaking of the devil incarnate, where have you been? I've got Evince working like fluffy cake on 2008 OS. I've been using it to review Guyton and Gangong (two of the best medical books in the world) for a few days now. All I needed was the Evince install file. I didn't have to bother with even a single dependency such as winrar, winzip, libpop, etc.... Dude, you are seriously beginning to creep me out about brain. I thought you were one of the smart guys here. :D Anyway, I don't remember which file I used, but if one doesn't work, the other one will get you there the whole way through.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
Just want to say a huge thank you to all involved in this. Installed this last night and got Outrun working with no changes required. xkbd seems temperamental with the keys not mapping correctly sometimes but a reboot fixes that. Running this on the N800/OS2008.

Wow! Incredible. Thanks for the effort put into this.
Haven't played around with the settings but I was able to play Dangerous Dave (dave.exe) with a bluetooth keyboard. FYI, I was able to type Function keys from my iGo keyboard by holding down the blue function key and pressing A = F1, S = F2 and so on along the row. |

Applications that I've tested and work:
Well I just installed Win 3.11 on my N810 and it's running well. It took a long time but gave no real errors during setup :). Not installed anything else under Windows yet. Main problem is no mouse. I have an iGo Bluetooth keyboard and a gradually fading memory of all the old keystroke commands. But we really need a mouse to take advantage of the O/S. Hey qole, what mouse did you use? How did you install? how did you physically connect it? Did you have a keyboard running at the same time? What is your social security number? (just kidding) Now lets see if I can load a newer version of Windows and an old version of Pro Engineer !!! BTW, I can run AutoCad 2002 under rDesktop tho the drawing area is so small due to the real estate taken by the menus and icons. Well I'm a happy camper tonight. Cheers all. Derek |

Does anyone feel like testing WordPerfect 5.1 (or sixOh!) in that dossy box?

Turbo C++ version 1.01 is freely available from http://dn.codegear.com/museum/antiquesoftware.
It installed just fine and I was able to compile some simple programs with it using the IDE. Touchscreen is accurate enough for the character-based UI: http://www.nbl.fi/~nbl928/borland_tcpp101.png |
Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
New dosbox release at http://pupnik.de/dosbox.html. I bundled Addison/OSEmuTech's vertical/left-hand-side keyboard map. You can now change the .xkbd map by editing /usr/bin/dosboxkbd to point to whatever .xkbd layoutfile and -geometry positioning you want.
