Hi, Used DOSBox for many years to play my old DOS games in Linux. I have recently changed my laptop to a DELL xps13. This has a UHD (4k) display. If I put DOSBox into windowed mode, I end up with a micro box with micro print!

This is what I get with the settings show in the config. The full screen res is 3200x1800.
It does not seem to follow the res setting.
what am I missing?

OK got brain in gear and realised that output = surface needs to be something else like overlay!!
