We have xdosemu working in BL2 with Xvesa and the full X font package,
but plain dosemu is buggy (no A, S or ^ in CLI mode).

In BL3, after installing bash, dosemu works fine.  Until recently Xvesa
was not working in more than 4 colors so we did not even try xdosemu, but
now that we have the SVGA server configured correctly for this strange
Chips and Technologies (WD9024C?) video, we tried xdosemu in X again.

startx  (gives us a 640 screen with 1152 virtual screen, lots of colors)
Ctrl-Esc, Enter (can't see the menu on this virtual screen)

xdosemu
./xdosemu:  mkfontdir:  command not found

You do not have the DOSEMU vga font installed and are running remote X.
You need to install the vga font on your _local_ Xserver.
Look at the readme for details.  For now we start with an [sic] fixed
font, which does not display all national characters correctly.
... be warned

ERROR:  X:  Unable to open font "vga"...

/dosemu/freedos/../bin/dosemu.bin:  relocation error:

(It exited without loading)

I think we have a font 9x15 in misc.

Has anybody used xdosemu in BL3 successfully?  Should I try adding a vga 
font and if so what is it named and where would I find it?
