Why can't I have DosBox output at 320x200 in plain VGA mode? it seems to be stuck at 640x400 no matter the settings.

Are you talking about vgaonly? Or is that what your monitor displays? The monitor can't tell 320x200 and 640x400 apart.

Yes vgaonly. It's easier to see what's going on in windowed mode, though.

In vgaonly it is set that way to support certain special effects in demos. Need to look somewhen if it is still needed though.

h-a-l-9000 fixed it for the current megabuild, so I was wondering if this fix could be merged into the DosBox svn.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to happen very often.
MB6 also fixes Prohibition with its linewise emulation for CGA - quite awesome.
