Everything. Prior dosemu was 1.2.1-3. In particular, some X upgrades came along about the same time. But I believe these problems started with the dosemu upgrade. Here's the log of stuff updated at the same time (there have been others since): wheat:/usr/local/rootlog# date; time apt-get -q dist-upgrade; date Fri Feb 24 22:54:48 PST 2006 Reading package lists...

Yes. >What is the difference? Manually resize = click on edge of window and drag to change its shape. The previous behavior was that I would be in a standard size window (inside xdosemu) and type the name of a batch file. The batch file executed the command "gv /v" where /v is vga mode. xdosemu appeared to detect that program had gone into VGA mode and resized the window, making it about twice as tall as before. I did not click the window. In fact, I'm not even sure what resizing the window did before. > > > everything gets bigger, though the font doesn't look too good.

Or is there a work-around?
