 +<note tip>If you should have problems getting the CPU Speed (Cycles) Decreased with CNTL+F11, Increased with CNTL+F12, and access\\ 
 +to the Keymapper with CNTL+F1, the problem may be associated with your Window Manager.
 +
 +The solution is to look at:
 +APPLICATIONS MENU -> SETTINGS -> WINDOW MANAGER -> KEYBOARD TAB then scroll down until you see workspace_1,
 +workspace_11, workspace_12, and delete those assignments. If you wish to enable those again, just use RESET to Default.
  
 +This allows DOSBox to use CNTL+F1, CNTL+F11, and CNTL+F12 to access the Keymapper and Change the CPU Cycles accordingly.</note>\\
