Did you try to use the SDL functions? SDL_GetGamma(r, g, b) SDL_SetGamma(r, g, b) edit: I didn't notice that this thread was rather old. So this is no answer to the last question.

if (tmp > 38) return -1; You are right, this check is unnecessary and can be omited. Actually the seg. faults were caused by directory entries that were larger than the standard defiened, so I increased the ident field and added some array boundary checks.

I actually wrote that part of the code, you are telling about and it is only used when you mount a cue/bin image, so I don't think that here is the problem. The limits header is only used when the sdl_sound library is installed, so if it still compiles if you comment it out, there is no problem. …

I never had use a modeline, xfree 4.3 seems to calculate the correct one by itself, if you provide the the data for your monitor. I just added the 320x200 after the other resolutions, but maybe the driver must support this as well. The relevant parts of my xf86config: Section "Monitor" Identifier " …

I didn't find any information about the case of filenames, so I assumed they would be system dependent, but using dircache seems to be a good idea.

The search pattern doesn't seem to matter for volume names. If you want to check yourself, execute attached file in real dos. Its pattern is XXXXXXXX.XXX and it prints out the volume name if executed in the root of a drive.

The problem: I have a game (the pandora directive) that fails to read the cd labels. The six (original) cds are labeled PANDORA{1-6} and when the game wants cd 1, it looks for a label DISK1 which is wrong and therefore fails. But if I remove the name check and simply return the label, it succeeds. I …

Execute it with "timidity -iA" then it becomes an ALSA server at port 128:0. You have to set the port in the dosbox config file. note: timidity will be more accurate if it is run as root.

You don't seem to have any midi driver loaded. Check if ALSA has midi support for your soundcard. If not, you can use either timidity or fluidsynth to simulate midi sound but both need much cpu power.
