You need gen_shift_word_imm (cx -> _word_imm). Bitu op,bool dword,DynReg * dr1,Bit8u imm op is the type of shift/rotate dword decides if the target reg is word/dword (false here) dr1 is the register (DREG(ECX) in your case) imm is the value to rotate (2 here) As Harekiet already noted it's unlikely …

Thanks for figuring this out. The keyboard layout should not matter as dosbox uses the scancodes directly by default. Maybe you can create a reduced testcase (by using some basic SDL example or so) to check if/which of the symkeys are off, and if there's some pattern. Then you could point the SDL …

Unlikely. Still maybe try it. As already noted the error message tells that the executable you're running is not an msdos one.

It is a dos game, so you either got a totally different game with the same name or not an original copy of the game.

Doesn't sound like the original game. As the message says you won't get too far with an emulator which has a DOS system as its target OS.

See \SDL12\src\video\x11\ the files SDL_x11wm.c and SDL_x11video.c which use XSetWMHints, maybe you can make something out of it.

dosbox uses SDL, so i'd suppose sdl cares about WM_ stuff.

They are used for the recompilers, which is disabled for non-x86 so something with your configure scripts is messed up.

Does a different distro work? Like checking what knoppix or some other live cd does if you can install dosbox there.

I wonder why my previous links were never complained on. Uhm you surely would have beaten up seriously if somebody had read one of those threads, apparently the subject lines were of no interest. But guess there'll be some automatic scanning from now on of your posts, if you don't mind.

Snover, just delete the the respective postings and send them a PM that tells them you did or something like that. It's not that they "don't know it" or so.

It's not a problem with univbe or dosbox, but the game. As soon as they find a 320x240 mode they use their "universal something" driver which is either bad or does bad assumptions.

As a general rule use c: for your harddrive mount, d: as your cdrom mount (standard settings under dos), and install every game WITHIN dosbox. This gets you the best level of compatibility, even for games that have some stuff fixed (don't know if this is the case for doom though).
