Description 0001patrick 2011-06-05 11:24:21 UTC
With the new xorg upgrade DosBox does not stretch to
fullscreen 100% as it did before.  There is a large blank area on top
and also on the bottom with the 810 and later driver.
With the previous driver version the DosBox screen stretched
perfectly to 100% with every program.

THX.

Can you please attach Xorg.log, and describe from which versions you upgraded from and to?

Ok, so it's not a DDX issue then.

Is DosBox attempting to resize the screen to fit itself when fullscreen, or does it simply scale itself to fit? [I don't know how DosBox interacts with X] Perhaps an xtrace may help understand what DosBox is asking of X.

Would an attachment of the dosbox .config file be helpful ?
It appears to stretch itself to fill the screen.  Scaling is set
at normal2x. I'll attach the file.   How does one do an xtrace ?

dosbox gives a basic vga screen which needs to be
stretched to full screen 100 %   

xorg 1.6.5 used to do this
xorg 1.10.3 doesn't

what is the status of this basic fix ?
Comment 9 Chris Wilson 2012-07-22 16:43:21 UTC
Oh, it's aspect ratio scaling you're complaining about.

When dosbox changes the mode to 640x480, there will be black bars on either side in the default scaling mode.

xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" "Full"

Yes, in theory that should work but it doesn't.
Same DosBox but different Intel driver.  Some default
setting in the new drivers or an associated program
is still not set as in the old xorg 1.6.5 setup.  It
just won't change to full screen with xrandr or any
DosBox aspect ratio internal configuration setting then.

Thanks for the response, thanks for taking a look.

Still not solved.
