I did an update world yesterday, which updated both nvidia-drivers and |
| 2 |
xorg-server. I'm probably a niche here, but I use dosbox to play ye |
| 3 |
olde DOS games. It's been running fine for the last few months. But |
| 4 |
after the update, a dosbox textmode "fullscreen" is "letterboxed". I.e. |
| 5 |
there is a black bar at the top and at the bottom. I tried tweaking the |
| 6 |
dosbox config, to no avail. I even locked up the machine in the |
| 7 |
process. Fortunately, Magic-SysReq got me out with a clean reboot. |

My first instinct was to revert from nvidia-drivers-304.64 back to |
| 10 |
nvidia-drivers-295.71. However, that would also force a downgrade from |
| 11 |
x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0-r1 to x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.4, which I |
| 12 |
am reluctant to do. Anybody have any ideas for a better solution? |

We are apparently better off trying to avoid udev like the plague. |
