Hello

It runs perfectly (8000 cpu cycles, frameskip 1, XP1700+, Debian unstable).

Just one strange thing: my screen goes black every 120-200 sec. Looks like the X-Server switches to an unsupported resolution, effectivly sending my TFT to standby. Switching to a console an back to X solves the problem for another 120-200 sec. I'm not sure if this problem ist caused my dosbox and tftd or by dosbox and my radeon.

Workaround: start a vnc-server, start dosbox inside the vnc... no more problems.

Thx a lot for this great emu.

I know a similar effect. It seems X doesn't see the mouse events in full screen mode, and turns on the screen saver at some point. Pressing any key works for me, however

So disabling your X screen saver while running DOSBox may be a workaround?

It's not the spiffy graphic screen saver that is triggered (that one keeps quiet, strange enough), but X's internal blanking (DPMS display suspend, if enabled). I've never tested it since most of the games I play use the keyboard - I seldom encounter the problem.
