	Hi there,

	I had the same pb => it comes from DPMI services being
	not available if you don't turn 'secure off' in dosemu.conf

	While I have the mike, I have some questions concerning 
	DJGPP + DOSemu:

	 * why is _djgpp_conventional_base value so high !? 
	I used to deprotect (_djgpp_nearptr_enable()) all 
	memory to access VIDEO ram, but under DOSemu, the kernel
	won't let me... So I used my own allocated segment, but
	that's painful a coding :)

	 * I still can't use the VBE2.0's LFB because its physical
	address needs being mapped into process' virtual memory
	(under DOSemu)... And that usually fails because of the DPMI
	not being awared of that fact, and mapping outside...
	Any workaround ? Or should DOSemu's supplied DPMI check this ?

	bye,

			Skal
