Hey everybody!
Since I bought a new computer I have some trouble with my beloved DOSBox: The mouse locking ain't working no more, at least the mouse's X axis.
If I start the games without a lock, everything works fine (besides the cursor moving out of the window). However, once I press Ctrl+F10 to enable the mouse lock, strange things happen:
- in The Settlers, the cursor jumps to the right-hand-side of the screen. I can perfectly move the cursor up and down, but the X-Axis seems to be completely dead, I can't get the cursor away from the right edge of the screen.
- in Duke Nukem 3D something similar happens once MouseLock is on: The Y-Axis (say, up and down) works as it should, but the X-Axis always makes me turn right whenever I touch the mouse. So, if I do nothing then it stands still, but if I try to turn left then the game turns right instead. (But it's not inverted, so if I try to turn right then he will also turn right.)
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you for any hints!
