I've had some trouble with the debugger's appearance (size and colors) on Fedora 10 after building from the latest sources in CVS. I thought I'd share these in case the workarounds help anyone else:
Under xterm, dosbox doesn't resize the terminal so I have to use 'xterm -geom 80x50', and most of the text is dark grey on black which I can barely read.
Under gnome-terminal, dosbox doesn't resize the terminal so I have to use 'gnome-terminal --geometry=80x50'. The text is black on dark grey which is readable but not ideal.
Under konsole, dosbox doesn't resize the console so I have to do that manually before starting dosbox. The text is light grey on black which is perfectly readable, but it seems to be wrapped at 50 columns. Swapping the order of the parameters in the call to resizeterm() in debug_gui.cpp doesn't help, but commenting out the printf("\e[8;50;80t"); in debug.cpp fixes it, as does reversing the 80 and 50, but http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUM … N5/0196____.HTM suggests that the existing code is correct so I guess this is a bug in konsole. I'm using konsole from the RPM kdebase-4.1.4-2.fc10.i386 and there is an update available so perhaps that will fix this problem, but I can't update right now due to lack of disk space.
I'm happy for now since I use konsole most of the time anyway and I guess if the KDE update doesn't resolve the issue I'll have to file a bug with KDE and consider myself lucky that my terminal emulator of choice is the one with the decent colors 😀
