Fix DOSBox keyboard mapping in Ubuntu

1 August 2009

If your keyboard doesn’t seem to be working correctly in DOSBox running on Ubuntu (for example, if arrow and page up keys don’t work), try the following:

• Check if a file called .dosboxrc exists in your home directory, e.g. by running

  more ~/.dosboxrc

• Create or edit this file by running

  gedit ~/.dosboxrc

• Add the following text to the file and save:

  [sdl]
  usescancodes=false

• games
• Linux
