Can you post the code that's around line 69 of `hardware.c'?  Based on the
registers I'd guess that it uses absolute address such as 0xd0000 to
access the video RAM.  This won't work under DPMI, even in v1.x (v2 is
DPMI-only environment).  You will need to rewrite that code; read section
18.4 of the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq200b.zip from the same place you get
DJGPP) which explains the methods available to you in v2.0 to achieve
this.
