Full and regular video problems

Under the video card "Intel Extreme Graphics", Dosbox completly freaks out.
The two problems are:
1) The bottom picture also shows up on top - both in a regular and a full video mode.
2) The screen flips to the side - only in full video mode.

I've tried playing with all the video settings, but to no avail.
Actually, "fullfixed=false" at least solves the latter problem (but even in full mode, the bottom picture still shows up on top).

as you nicely pointed out it happends with a certain videocard. So maybe it's not dosbox freaking out, but the videocard ?

you could try replacing sdl.dll with the regular 1.28 version of sdl (www.libsdl.org)

Get a decent Videocard.

Heck, even the Cheap Geforce 4 MX cards, are better than that Intel rubbish.

Athlon 64 3000+ stock
MSI NForce 4 K8N Neo Platinum
2Gb RAM
nVidia Geforce 6800GT stock clocks
SBLive! Platinum + Audigy ZS2 Drivers
WinXP Pro SP2

First of all, it's not my own computer...
Secondly, robertmo was right! It was a specific game problem and I solved it by adding a special configuration line to the game's config file (as written both in its readme and even in DOSBox' comp_list).

This (specific) game still can't run in full screen though, but at least it's it works perfectly in a regular window.
