Hi,

I want to play X-Wing with dosbox 0.74 and openSUSE 13.1. With the settings below everything works fine and fluently in fullscreen mode except that the aspect ratio is not correct. The complete screen is used (16:9).

1[sdl]
2fullscreen=yes
3fulldouble=false
4fullresolution=desktop
5windowresolution=1280x720
6output=openglnb
7autolock=true
8sensitivity=100
9waitonerror=true
10priority=higher,normal
11mapperfile=xwing.map
12usescancodes=true
13
14[render]
15frameskip=0
16aspect=true
17scaler=none
18
19[cpu]
20core=normal
21cputype=auto
22cycles=max
23cycleup=10
24cycledown=20

Going in window mode or setting

1fullresolution=2560x1440

solves the aspect issues but the game -- in particular during flight -- is far from fluent. The CPU usage is still very low...

Any idea what to do?

change cycles to max 105%

ideally though you change the cpu governer to performance mode (in your kernel)

Sorry for my late response. It did not work but I was planning to update to the most recent openSUSE anyway. So I did that, tested again, still no luck. However, apparently, switching Sync to VBlank off in the nvidia-settings did the trick. opengl(nb) is now fine.
