Hi!
Mouse sensitivity in Dosbox seems to differ between fullscreen and windowed modes. In fullscreen mode the sensitivity drops considerably. This happens on both ddraw and surface video output drivers, and different resolutions in fullscreen and windowed modes don't have any effect either. It happens in different games (I tried Duke Nukem 3d, Tie Fighter and Dark Forces), and with the default configuration file that comes with Dosbox 0.72 (I'm on WinXP - if it matters, I have the pointer speed slider in WinXP control panel set at the middle and enhance pointer precision is checked).
The effect is especially noticeable in Dark Forces. In windowed mode it's playable with a mouse, but in fullscreen it's very sluggish. You can try it with the demo:
