I'm getting double-height shadowing in Populous 2 (from GOG). Any ideas? I've tried updating the GOG version of DosBox to the latest.

Also on this machine, switching between windowed and full screen takes quite a long time, like a few seconds, during which time the window is unresponsive and does not notice if I het Ctrl-F11 or Ctrl-F12 to change CPU cycles.

Which output is your Dosbox configured to use?
Try output=opengl

That's fixed it, thank you! However in full screen it's a little more fuzzy and the colours aren't quite as rich as in the default "overlay" mode. "openglnb" is different again, better colours but a litte more pixellated than overlay, which I might get used to. Probably more authentic to the original!
