Toggle between windowed and fullscreen mode using Ctrl-Alt-F.

Yes, no problem. Just remember to use ctrl-alt-<Fn> to go to a Virtual Console (VC), and you can run any Linux application (dosemu is a linux-application). I've got almost always WP5.1 in a dos session.
[Note: Use ctrl-alt-F7 to switch back to X from dosemu, if X runs on VC7.]
If you have X installed and you have successfully compiled dosemu and run it successfully outside X-windows, you should be able to run xdosemu or dosemu -X right away to bring up a dosemu window. If this does not work, make sure:
Dosemu has X support compiled in. This is default, however if you you have compiled dosemu with "x off" in the compiletime-settings file you don't have X support. So changing "x off" to "x on" in the compiletime-settings file, followed by "make pristine; make; make install" should build you a dosemu-executable with X support, if you have the X-libraries installed in /usr/X11R6.
You might need to fix backspace and delete; but nowadays this is rarely necessary. In that case, set up your X key-mappings. In an xterm, type xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = 0xff08", and then xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = 0xffff".
Configure the X-related configuration options in ~/.dosemurc.
Alternatively, you can run dosemu inside a color xterm, which is not recommended because many color xterms have buggy support for the complex text display capabilities of dosemu. This does not require X_SUPPORT to be compiled into dosemu. However, if you really want to do this, do the following steps:
If necessary set up your X key-mappings as explained above.
Configure the terminal-related (not X-related) settings in ~/.dosemurc.

I have xrdb log the following resources
dosxterm*Font: vga
dosxterm*geometry: 80x25
dosxterm*saveLines: 25 |
or I alias dosxterm to term -fn vga -title dosxterm -geometry 80x25 -sl 25.
If you use the xrdb method, all you have to do is run xterm -name dosxterm.
At present, dosemu is set up to use the MIT shared memory extensions. This extension only works on a local display. If you want to run xdosemu on a remote display, you might need to set $_X_mitshm=(off) in your dosemu.conf or .dosemurc.
Check that the vga fonts you installed are listed in the font.dir of the directory you installed the fonts in:
hertz:~> grep misc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
hertz:~> grep vga /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir
vga.pcf vga
vga11x19.pcf vga11x19
hertz:~> ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga*
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga.pcf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga11x19.bdf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga11x19.pcf

If you installed some X-fonts, like you did when you installed dosemu with X-Support for the first time, "mkfontdir" and then "xset fp rehash" needs to be run. The dosemu install should take care for "mkfontdir" and tells you about "xset fp rehash". Tell us if it doesn't work for you. (97/2/13)
Set $_X_font="vga11x19".
As stated above, dosemu uses the MIT shared memory extensions by default. Under XFree86 they are only available with Version 3.1.2 and above. If you have an older version, consider to upgrade, or configure dosemu to not use this extension by setting mitshm off in compiletime-settings (97/2/9).

Yes. I use nnansi.com under X windows. I find 25, 43 and 50 line mode work properly, however 50 line mode is difficult to use on a 1024x768 screen (unless smaller fonts are used or you use a bigger screen. 43 line mode will resize the xterm window to use 43 lines.
DEVICE=c:\bin\nansi.sys in FreeDOS' config.sys works too, except in "dumb" mode.
