Hello people.
I'm having a problem with dosbox on ubuntu (17.04) Running a very old commercial app that was around in 2001.
While the application works fine on windowed mode, when I press alt+Enter to enter fullscreen, it goes pitch black.
I have tried all the different options for output, including surface, overlay, opengl, and openglnb. I also tried to exit and re-enter fullscreen mode in order to fix it, to no avail.
Any ideas are welcome.
The computer that I am using is a 2009 model Sony Vaio laptop VGNAR71M.
