--- Comment #16 from Jeremiah Flerchinger flerchjj@ieee.org 2009-04-17 19:57:19 --- The newer versions of Wine should output the VGA mode number. Can someone report that? It should be a line or 2 before the "fixme:int:DOSVM_Int10Handler Get Font Information - Not Supported". Also does it bring up a blank window now?

There are advantages to having a single program (e.g. Wine) run both DOS and Windows programs.
You forgot Windows programs that call DOS dlls. For that you need something that handles both 32-bit and 16-bit code well. I don't know what will happen when we lose use of vm86, due to 64-bit OSes, and can't run 16-bit apps anymore.

I understand. Would it be possible to just copy all the code over from DOSEMU? :)
Is that an offer to figure out how they trap specific address writes with signals and vm86? If reads & writes to A0000-B9999 were trapped in Wine, the int10 and VGA subsystem could be easily fixed.
