There is apparently a long standing bug in DosBox that when it goes full screen, it doesn't properly restore the window settings in linux. As a result, I come back to Cinnamon and my prior layout with my primary laptop display on the bottom-left of my external display is flipped in reverse, and my LCD ends up set at 1024x768 instead of the maximum.
I know this is a problem in and for dosbox to fix, but it's a pain in the ass having to open the control panel and reset all my display settings manually every single time I want to play an old Sid Meier Dos game in linux. So I'm wondering if there is any way to either create a short-cut or run a command line/Ctrl-F2 type command to set a given screen resolution and layout with a one click? (i.e. if it's a pain in the ass to set up once, it's still less of a hassle than changing it by hand every time)
Any way to create short-cut to set resolution/layout of display settings?

Make a script. An example display.sh:
Command
To make the scrip executable, run
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x720
xrandr
tells available modes and display outputs.To make the scrip executable, run
Code: Select all
chmod +x display.sh
