kqemu allows code to be executed directly and natively on the
bare-metal processor under certain conditions. This takes QEMU's
dynamic translation engine out of the picture and allows for
near-native performance of x86-on-x86 (32 or 64 bit) situations.
It turns kqemu into less of an emulator and more of a virtualizer, if
that makes any sense to you.

I recently developed a desire to run some emulators under Linux,
and consequently have run some of them. Here are my opinions of them,
based on install, ease of use, and speed of emulation.
The emulators I tried are DOSEMU + Freedos, BOCHS + MSDOS 6.22, and
QEMU + MSDOS 6.22. I found that each had advantages and disadvantages.
I also ran MSDOS 6.0 natively.
Two machines were used. One is an AMD 586 with 16MB of RAM and a
160 MHz processor. Another is a Presario with a 2.7 GHz Celeron.
The AMD was used only for running MSDOS 6.0 natively. The Celeron
was used to run the emulators with Linux, and also to do some
native MSDOS 6.0.
install share speed CPU hardware soft events
DOSEMU easy easy fast low Intel only not all no
BOCHS hard hard v.slow high Intel only all yes
QEMU hard hard slow high multiple all no
install: ease of installation
share: ease of sharing files between emulation and Linux
speed: speed of emulation
CPU: how much CPU does the emulation burn
hardware: emulates other than Intel hardware
soft: runs all software
events: supports emulating hardware events
QEMU runs something like 5x to 10x as fast as BOCHS. DOSEMU runs
40x to 50x as fast as QEMU.
BOCHS allows one to emulate various hard drives down to the
level of CHS.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of all you state here.
You did not address my comment. The fact that a format is disclosed
does not mean that the holders of the design are not able to restrict
its use.
Adobe also makes claims to the right to prevent the use of PDF, but
allow use. For example
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/adobe-ipr-draft-zilles-pdf.txt
In particular, this wording:
Accordingly, Adobe gives anyone copyright permission,
subject to the conditions stated below, to:
* Prepare files whose content conforms to the Portable Document
Format

I remove datetimeconf. I am not sure if all gnome packages are
installed. I use xfce as my default desktop. I probably am
contributing to the problem by choosing and picking packages. So, if
gnome isnt fully or properly installed then time-admin might be
crashing when I try to 'Adjust date & time' and you wouldn't be able
to replicate it.
I know all of this work fine when i installed 64studio ver. 1.0 and 1.1

Weird. No, those come in (or are created by?) the tzdata package.
aptitude update && aptitude install tzdata
ought to do it. Also consider ntp-simple. This is Etch here. I
don't know what Lenny and Sid are up to wrt this, and ymmv. These
have been mobile in recent years (this package, then this package,
then ...).

Thanks. After that .Xresources was read during startx, but the placement of
the firefox window still seemed random, even if I deleted localstore.rdf.
I think firefox may just ignore the setting in .Xresources.

Whereas I can certainly applaud the effort, I think the author of the
petition might want to get a native-English proof-reader to go over his
site. For example:
on the petition itself:
"There is *no guarantee that anybody can write a software* that fully or
partially implements the OOXML specification..." (emphasis in original).
I know a lot of people use the phrase "a software" to mean "a software
application", but I don't believe it's a good usage.
Also:
"...such bugs affects..." should probably be "...such bugs affect...".
But for me, what felt the most amateurish was the red block on the
"Start" page:, things like "then" for "than" and "...explain them
why...". I don't mean to nitpick, but I do believe a professional image
would be more effective.
I also saw no indication of what will be done with the petition; is it
just going to sit there on the Intarweb pipes, or will it be sent to
someone, or what?
I think his comment in the red box makes the most sense: "SENDING A NICE
LETTER TO YOUR STANDARDISATION BODY IN YOUR COUNTRY IS MORE IMPORTANT
THEN SIGNING THE PETITION".

I was not being sarcastic, nor was I being rhetorical. People who
own copyrights and patents on file formats claim to be able to
restrict who and what uses them. IANAL, so I don't claim any
expertise in these matters. However, I can definitely point
you to places where Adobe for example asserts the right to restrict PDF,
both due to copyright and patent, and licenses it for use by people
and software under certain restrictions.
The fact that a format is disclosed does not prevent it from
being proprietary, AIUI. All patents require full disclosure.

He never implied it. He stated IBM created SQL before MS existed. He
also stated that it has been an ISO standard since 1987. It becoming an
ISO standard in 1987 does not mean that it was created in 1987.

To quote the original:

Pretty clear statement there.
> It has been an ISO standard since 1987.
Also a clear, seperate statement. It may have ben clearer to say 'It
also has been' but what was written in no way equates it being made a
standard with it being created, especially when taken taken with a grain
of historical knowledge wrt Microsoft. In any case the difference isn't
something worth going off the deep end over.

I recently read about a USB video card that someone was using the an
NSLU2 computer. Do you mean a USB video card that supports VESA?
I would assume you plug it in and it should show up like any video
card... (maybe it needs a special usb-video modules?)

Oh, that's unhelpful of it, if you have a spare partition on the disk
you could put a 32bit install on it to help confirm that the problem is
with the 64bit version. Glad the OS drivers are working for you, gives
