I have recently installed xubuntu 11.04 (64bit) and now I want to change some keys but I can't start the keymapper with CTRL+F1, if I do that nothing happens.
I'm using dosbox version 0.74.

Also when I do CTRL+F12 then there is no increase of the cycles.

I can write commands in the dosbox.

How can I fix this ?

Are the F-keys mapped to some other functions in your OS?

Not that I know (I will take a closer look, I'm at another comp at the moment)

I'm using the same files of dosbox in xubuntu, I copied all of the files to my new installation. It's not installed via "atp-get install" or something like that, so normally nothing should have changed.

I'm using a frontend (DBGL) and in the "DBGL" map is a map called "Dosbox 0.74" that's where the dosbox files are.

I hope I explained it somehow.

I found my answer.

I have to press: CTRL+META KEY+F1
to start the keymapper.

I have to use always the META key in dosbox.

For the people who don't know what the META key is, it's your windows key (windows logo) on your keyboard.

So, did you check whether the F keys work as intended in other applications? It rads as if it doesn't

The F keys are working. I tried it in some programs.
Even the CTRL+F* combination works in other programs.
