- Compiled dosbox_0.65 under MipsPro 7.4.4 [Fuel, IRIX 6.5.28]. However, upon start-up, while it tried to establish a window, it only failed and I got
Quote:
Exit to error: SDL:Can't set palette
- Traced the message to <dosbox_0.65/src/gui/sdlmain.cpp/GFX_SetPalette> [the comment in it is original, not mine]:
Code:
void GFX_SetPalette(Bitu start,Bitu count,GFX_PalEntry * entries) {
/* I should probably not change the GFX_PalEntry :) */
if (sdl.surface->flags & SDL_HWPALETTE) {
if (!SDL_SetPalette(sdl.surface,SDL_PHYSPAL,(SDL_Color *)entries,start,count)) {
E_Exit("SDL:Can't set palette");
}
} else {
if (!SDL_SetPalette(sdl.surface,SDL_LOGPAL,(SDL_Color *)entries,start,count)) {
E_Exit("SDL:Can't set palette");
}
}
}
which, in my case, calls upon <SDL-1.2.6/src/video/SDL_video/SDL_SetPalette>. Under *SDL* I compiled <test/testpalette.c> [which utilizes SDL_SetPalette] - and it worked fine. Therefore, it seemed to me that the above problem is indeed in dosbox_0.65 itself; so, as <GFX_SetPalette> apparently is called only once from <dosbox_0.65/src/gui/render.cpp/Check_Palette>, in there I commented out said call and re-compiled - and afterwards dosbox started up ok [although I've no idea whether I'm going to loose something now]...anyway, anyone else observed this behavior?
- On a more positive side, I got the keyboard [dosbox_0.65, Fuel, IRIX 6.5.28, MipsPro 7.4.4] working properly as well - <xkeycaps> does the trick...
- Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to mount my games dir properly, though:
Code:
./dosbox /disk03/DOSGAMES
.
.
.
Z:\>MOUNT C "/disk03/DOSGAMES"
Z:\>C:
Drive C does not exist!
Also, while <dir> lists a few programs in Z:, only <autoexec.bat> seems to run fine when executed again but none of the .com - any idea what might have gone wrong here?
