Bochs doesn't start: the wx-windows stays black

Hello everybody,

I'm using Bochs since Debian/Lenny for an old DOS application. My last working version is Bochs 
2.4.6 (Debian/Wheezy).

Currently I'm in the process of upgrading my Debian/Wheezy to Debian/Jessie. Jessie includes 
Bochs 2.6.

After several hours of testing I was not able to start Bochs with freedos. When I start bochs 
with "bochs -f bochsrc" (see attached file bochsrc), a window with Bochs and another window with 
debug infos appear, but the content of the Bochs window stays black. Under Bochs/Wheezy I get 
some BIOS messages, but not under Bochs/Jessie.

Is there something wrong with Bochs/Jessie and/or my bochsrc file? What kind of information do 
you need to analyze this misbehaviour?

TIA and have a nice weekend.

Dieter
