          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.

                • This is the right answer for my problem (which was escaping full screen after alt tab)

                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.

                                        • Goto /home/user/dosbox.conf

                                        • Find resolution

                                        • Change fullresolution from original to your choice (eg.
                                          fullresolution=640x480)

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