I've just downloaded and tried to run a few old dosbox games, (like Master of Magic and Eye of the Beholder), and when I run them the dosbox completely upends my graphics settings on the computer.
For example I have dual wide screen monitors, the left one being primary. When I run start.sh on either game it makes the right one primary and lowers the resolution down to 640x480 and the left one goes to sleep. When I exit the game the resolution is still 640x480, and the left monitor is still disabled.
Luckily the POV on the right monitor is lower left part of the screen so I can still click on the menu button to select my display preferences and set everything back up again. It's just aggravating that you have to redo all your graphics settings every time you come out of a video game. Forget even thinking about alt-tabbing out of a game to check email or something like that.
I've looked at the dosbox settings and don't understand why I have both a dosbox_eob1.conf as well as a dosbox_eob1_single.conf files. I have the same thing for Master of Magic. I assume all of the GOG dosbox games are configured the same basic way for the monitor/graphics end of things. Can anyone tell me what they should be to run in a set up like mine?
Thanks.
