DOS game support - just needs a little VGA love?

[Dan Kegel]

Hey, that CGA video support patch today from Peter Dons Tychsen,
http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-October/063417.html
reminded me there's an old downloadable DOS game my wife likes
to dig out every now and then.  I tried it today and discovered
that what's stopping it is support for a VGA feature, so
I filed a bug:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15688
There are three other similar bugs, some with patches:
http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?product=Wine&component=dos&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=vga
Getting old DOS games working might be pretty easy
at this point if, like this game, they just need a little
VGA love.  Let's encourage newcomers to contribute
in this area... it'd be fun to see those classic games running
in wine.

I added an entry to
http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode
for this, in case nobody does it before summer.
