The newer versions of Wine should output the VGA mode number. Can someone
report that? It should be a line or 2 before the "fixme:int:DOSVM_Int10Handler
Get Font Information - Not Supported". Also does it bring up a blank window
now?

You forgot Windows programs that call DOS dlls. For that you need something
that handles both 32-bit and 16-bit code well. I don't know what will happen
when we lose use of vm86, due to 64-bit OSes, and can't run 16-bit apps
anymore.

Is that an offer to figure out how they trap specific address writes with
signals and vm86? If reads & writes to A0000-B9999 were trapped in Wine, the
int10 and VGA subsystem could be easily fixed.
