I did an update world yesterday, which updated both nvidia-drivers and xorg-server. I'm probably a niche here, but I use dosbox to play ye olde DOS games. It's been running fine for the last few months. But after the update, a dosbox textmode "fullscreen" is "letterboxed". I.e. there is a black bar at the top and at the bottom. I tried tweaking the dosbox config, to no avail. I even locked up the machine in the process. Fortunately, Magic-SysReq got me out with a clean reboot.
My first instinct was to revert from nvidia-drivers-304.64 back to nvidia-drivers-295.71. However, that would also force a downgrade from x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0-r1 to x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.4, which I am reluctant to do. Anybody have any ideas for a better solution? -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> We are apparently better off trying to avoid udev like the plague.
