I have just installed DosBox and it's running under Linux.

When I try to "config -writeconf test" no file is produced.

When I try to speed up using the F-keys nothing happens. However the ALT-ENTER does change the screen size.

I read the dosbox guides but Linux is not covered. Any help would be much appreciated. My application is running but very slowly. The CPU cycles box indicates 3000.

Thanks

touch'ing should not be necessary. ionmich is probably looking for the file in the wrong place.

Try this before write-conf'ing:

mount X "."
X:
dir test
config -writeconf test
dir test
dir

Is the file there?

nah won't work
dosbox writes when no file is given in to your current working directory.

so try
config -writeconf /tmp/test.conf

Well Qbix - that is why I asked to have "." mounted as X 😀
