Anyone figured out how to use dosbox with a tablet pen? -just bought a touchscreen pc to play games like panzer general and its impossible to move the cursor with the pen 🙁

Please anyone with a solution?

there have been discussions about it, one actually quite serious in which I was supposed to deliver some real world values but I kind of lost interest and forgot about it...
Anyway, one possible solution is to set Dosbox to play in windowed mode but setting the windows resolution to the resolution of your desktop.

the problem is what all pda have with dosbox as well, is the lack of good relative movement information
