I installed DosBox on my Ubuntu 14.04.3:

sudo apt-get install dosbox

I edited the /home/severus/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf from:

fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original

to (as mine is 1366x768):

fullscreen=true
fulldouble=true
fullresolution=1366x768

Now when I open DoxBox, Yes it becomes full screen but the usable area still remains the same:

Only This much :

How can I make it Fullscreen?? as it can be done on windows, with all fonts bigger and with larger working space

NOTE: for reference , here is the dosbox-0.74.conf file.

fullscreen=false 
fulldouble=true 
fullresolution=1366x768 
windowresolution=1366x768 
output=opengl

This config worked pretty well for me. It creates a window the size of your desktop display (which is almost fullscreen-it leaves just the top status bar) and you can always just enter fullscreen after that with alt + enter

    Maybe this helps then: fullscreen=false fulldouble=true fullresolution=1366x768 windowresolution=1366x768 output=opengl This config worked pretty well for me.

    Man! you did it :-D Thanks a lot, I kept fullscreen=true fulldouble=true fullresolution=1366x768 windowresolution=1366x768 output=opengl autolock=true opengl was the culprit :-P as you said. Now please modify your answer and include all this so that it helps everybody with similar problems and Even I can accept it. Once again, thanks :-) – Severus Tux Feb 10 '16 at 00:06
  • @m1xalis You might want to edit that into your answer – TheWanderer Feb 10 '16 at 01:59
  • @SeverusTux Glad that worked out for you. Dosbox is a gem of a program imo. – m1xalis Feb 10 '16 at 08:21
