My old DOS game (Tomb Raider I) installs and then runs fine with Wine by making use of Dosbox. Everything works (keys, audio, full screen) but I am unable to adjust the resulting screen resolution.

The display setting is always at the lowest possible resulting in heavily pixelated output. Changing the game settings has no effect. I already tried a better resolution from Wine windows configuration, and from changing settings in my ~/.dosbox/dosbox.conf but these seem not to be respected.

My system: Ubuntu 12.10 amd64, Wine 1.4, Dosbox 0.74, Nvida Gforce 6, nvidia-current-updates 304.51.

How do I make Wine to call Dosbox with my custom settings for screen resolution and geometry?

I know this tread is a little old, but I just ran into this problem myself and solved it.

In the install folder that wine uses to run the game, there is a DOSBOX.CONF file (mine read dosboxDK.conf, where DK was the initials of the game). If you edit this as you would the normal dosbox.conf you will get the results you want.
