Will DosBox suppport at least 15-bit color in at least 640x480 mode?
Will DosBox support higher resolutions than 800x600?

The 16bit patch includes resolutions up to 800x600. The et4000 patch includes 8 bit resolutions up to 1024x768. I've made a 1280x960 for et4k but 1280x1024 doesn't work just yet and I havn't made a patch yet. Unless the 16bit handler itself limits the resolution, it should be just as easy to add higher and other 16bit resolutions like it is for 8 bit.

Well not entirely. harekiet has been coding quite a while now on his improved vesa support which should include 16 color and 8/15/16/32 bit

Ah, so I don't need to maintain my vesa stuff anymore? Given the general emulation speed of Schleichfahrt, which was my only reason for that, I can happily wait for a different implementation. Feel free to close/delete/whatever the patch on sourceforge if you like.

Moe well just wait till harekiet commits his stuff which I expect won't be long.
I haven't seen the code of him only discussed it when the last time I met him

I'll leave it up to you to remove the patch when it's no longer neccessary. And of course you'll hear from me when the unthinkable happens and my favourite action shooter no longer works - so be sure to do it right, or I'll slap you with a patch 😉

Well, Schleichfahrt is the reason why im searching in this forum. Can anybody tell me, how to get it to work? I always get an error prompt: "ERROR: vesa graphic mode 640x480x64k not supported"

That color mode isn't support in nomral DosBox CVS. It might be in one of the unofficial builds in my signature.
