What could be causing Dosbox to constantly shut down under Linux Mint 18.1? I have tried numerous settings including the stock ones (output=surface, etc) and cannot get it to work. Here are some examples that instantly cause crashes:
1) Running Quake and then trying to adjust brightness using the options slider
2) Opening various apps in Windows 3.1: Microsoft Arcade, Rattler Race, Fuji Golf (Solitaire and Minesweeper work fine)
I'm guessing it's a graphics issue - it seems like anything that does any sort of significant re-draw will bring Dosbox crashing down. Is there a workaround, other than reverting to a Windows platform?
