I am running Turbo C on DOSBox in Ubuntu 12.04.

The problem is that two black stripes are coming on either of screen. I want to remove them.

20130411_131000

My computer is a Dell Studio 15z with screen resolution 1366x768. I don't have a problem even if distortion occurs.

Relevant part of my dosbox.conf file:

[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=1366x768
windowresolution=1366x768
output=overlay
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
usescancodes=true

  • go to dosbox installation directory (on my machine that is C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74 ) as you see the version number is part of the installation directory name.

  • run "DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat"

  • the script starts notepad with configuration file: here change

    windowresolution=1600x800

    output=ddraw

(the resolution can't be changed if output=surface - that's the default).

  • safe configuration file changes.
