Hi, i'm running 0.74 dosbox on default settings, and mouse movement behaves sluggishly to the point where it lags behind for a couple seconds. I can swirl the mouse around, and the pointer'll keep going for a bit after the mouse has stopped.

I'm running on windows 7 x64, my mouse is a g9x, and i've tried swapping mice, checking to see background processes, and fiddling with mouse sensitivity both in windows and in dosbox to no avail. Locking the mouse cursor inside the window doesn't help either. In other games, the mouse works just fine, Dark Sun seems to be the only game that has the issue. Any ideas?

Edit: Further testing seems as if horizontal mouse movement does not lag, but only vertical. Why is this happening?

I had some problems too. I found that I had to change two things to get it working properly.
Here's the last post I made on the issue:

Finally got the mouse working great!
I changed the fullscreen parameter to false instead of true
I changed the windowresolution param from original to 1350x1080
(I'm using a 1920x1080 screen)
The mouse is perfect now, accurate and everything.

SO THERE IT IS : FULLSCREEN=TRUE SCREWS UP THE MOUSE
