DosBox Mouse Issue with Touchscreen

[Harakiri23]

After a few minutes of using dosbox, the touchpen and the mouse on screen are shifted.


When i use the touchpen the cursor is mostly 2-3cm to the lower left, at a new restart of the game, its always fine.


Games i noticed this issue (the only mouse based games i tried so far):


- Betrayal at Krondor


- WarcraftI + II


The nub still works for the cursor but i find that not easy enough to use, the touchpen is a better input.


Furthermore, anyone know how to do a right click?


BTW: DosBox/Pandora speed seems not to be a enough for my favorite alltime RPG Betrayal at Krondor - at 800mhz i would it call "almost playable" but its pretty slow, loading takes alot of time, you cant really run around, reminds me at a very old DOS pc, i even lowered the ingame graphics to low... =)

i think you should open a new topic for this.

I have similar issues, however in my case the shift is more or less random and also occurs with nub-clicking. It's really hard to hit anything. That's unfortunate, as it makes DOSBox pretty much useless for me.

Try pressing alt-Enter twice when this happens.

The nub was driving me nuts trying to click in DosBox.


So, do this:


Run DosBox, press Fn + Ctrl + 1


This opens the keymapper.


Select LeftClick. Select Add. Now choose! - I personally like my right shoulder button to be LeftClick and left shoulder button as RightClick.


Works great! No more fiddly nubs or dysfunctional touch screen (yes it's still dysfunctional, but now you don't have to use it - use leftnub as mouse and shoulder buttons as left + right click).

I haven't tried BaK yet, but see if this makes the game playable:


settings > CPU settings > Set the max allowed OPP level


"yes I know what I'm doing" set it to 5, OK.


Set the minimum / maximum allowed MHz


"yes I know... bla bla" set max to 1000, OK.


Leave min where it is.


now:


System > CPU-Speed > set it to 1000, OK


Remember to reset your CPU-Speed to whatever your default is after playing BaK.


Hope it works! B)

Run DosBox, press Fn + Ctrl + 1


This opens the keymapper.

One thing I would add here is that by default Xfce uses Fn + Ctrl + 1 (ie Ctrl + F1) as a hotkey to switch to the first workspace, so if you are running DOSBOX under Xfce DOSBOX will only receive that key combination if you are in Full-Screen mode at the time. (which you can get to with Alt + Enter)
