How do I make DOSBox show in full screen mode?

I have enable FullScreenmode in Dosbox under Ubuntu 12.04 . But still i am not getting it in Fullscreen. My turbo c++ windows is less than my screen size.


Solution 1:

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

Solution 2:

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.

Solution 3:

  • 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

Solution 4:

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