I tried to run some VGA Sierra Adventures (like Space Quest 4 and Larry 5, for instance) with DosBox 0.61 under Linux.

Everything including sound an music works fine (at least in fullscreen mode).

Problem is, the mouse cursor seems to be stuck in the bottom right corner of the screen (in fullscreen mode) or window (in window mode).

Pressing the mouse button works (the game character moves towards the bottom right corner), but the cursor cannot be moved anywhere else...

How can I fix that?

Did I make a mistake in the config file or something?

Thanx for your immediate answer!

I tried Ctrl+F10 - it released the Linux mouse cursor in fullscreen mode, but as soon as I 'click' somewhere (inside DosBox) the mouse cursor is gone again - and the in-game mouse cursor stays stuck in the lower right corner...

The mouse cursor actually never moves inside the DosBox. It's stuck in the corner from the beginning when the DosBox is started.
