First, press ctrl + F10 to lock mouse to dosbox and then try alt + Enter.

You need to edit dosbox-0.74.conf as given below

Go to terminal and type gedit /home/severus/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf

and make these changes:

fullscreen=true fulldouble=true fullresolution=1366x768 windowresolution=1366x768 

output=opengl #MOST IMPORTANT

autolock=true 

Now save the file and open dosbox. It should be fullscreen with full workspace.

  • Goto /home/user/dosbox.conf
  • Find resolution
  • Change fullresolution from original to your choice (eg. fullresolution=640x480)
  • Leave windowresolution intact (i.e, windowresolution=original) as you might want a smaller sized window.

Optional: change fullscreen to true (i.e, fullscreen=true) if you want to start dosbox in fullscreen mode

I think the Alt-Enter command makes DOSBox go full-screen. That might not be your problem, though.

fullresolution=auto windowresolution=auto 

for me auto setting on these two functions, works better.

Ctrl+F10 is for accessing mouse

Alt+Enter is to switch from full screen to small.

Severus Tux solution worked on my raspberry pi, but took up far too much computing power. Extreme lag and overheating followed from just rendering the dos prompt.

Another solution is to change the "scaler" parameter to a size that fits your screen the best. you can either double, or tripple the number of pixels used:

scaler=normal2x forced 

or

scaler=normal3x forced 

pick the one that fits your fullscreen mode the best.
