The following problems have been fixed and should no longer happen with the current version of CrossOver Linux Standard. See above to upgrade.

Why are my tablet's stylus and eraser are messed up? |
This is a problem with your XF86Config file. Photoshop expects that a Wacom tablet's eraser is cursor ID 2 or cursor ID 5. You need to define those cursors in the correct order in your XFree86 configuration file.
The ServerLayout section in your Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Anaconda Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "UsbMouse" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection
The cursor IDs are defined starting from 0 from the bottom of the list up. With this layout cursor will be ID 0, stylus will be ID 1 and eraser will be ID 2. You need to restart X after changing this file. |

How can I update the DST rules for 2007? |
CrossOver version 6.0.1 and greater already have the new Daylight Saving Time rules so no upgrade is necessary.

You can download this script at the following location: http://dl.codeweavers.com with the 'dst' access key.

I am having trouble using CrossOver, especially Quicken 2007, on Fedora Core 6. What is the problem? |
Fedora Core 6 includes several new security and performance features that are known to cause problems when running applications under CrossOver Office. First, we have work arounds to cope with selinux and the audit facility, but it's always useful to try turning them off. You can do that at boot time by adding: selinux=0 audit=0
to your linux kernel command line in your grub By default Fedora Core 6 uses a new dir_index optimization on ext3 partitions. This breaks certain applications running under CrossOver, notably Quicken 2007. You can fix this by running this command as root:

I am having trouble using CrossOver on Fedora Core 4. What is the problem? |
On some Fedora Core systems you may see the error message wine: Could not load graphics driver 'x11'. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
Please contact CrossOver support for an updated winex11.drv.so to work around this issue or disable SELinux with the following command.

I'm running RedHat 7.3 and sometimes a CrossOver application hangs. |
RedHat 7.3 ships with a buggy version of
This will force CrossOver to use a (slower) alternative to the buggy library. If this stops the hangs then you may want to upgrade to a fixed version of the library. |

Why does my license key not fit in the QuickBooks install dialog? |
When installing software requiring a license key, most often certain versions of QuickBooks, you will find that the key will not fit in the Window provided. This is because the dialog was unable to load the font required and substituted another that does not properly match the required size. The solution is to install all fonts in CrossOver Setup. |

How can I install Photoshop 7 upgrade with Mandrake? |

Why can't I click on items in the menu bar in Microsoft Office applications and why can't I enter text into Microsoft Excel fields after using Alt-Tab to switch to a native Linux application? |
This is most likely a bug in certain window managers that do not send applications running in CrossOver a notification that the Alt key has been released when switching windows using Alt-Tab. You can work around the problem by pressing and releasing the Alt key after switching back to the affected Microsoft Office application. Note the problem is not Microsoft Office specific, and could affect any application that changes its behaviour for when the Alt key is held down. |

Why does my x86-64 or EMT64 system freeze when saving documents? |
This is a known bug in linux kernels on the x86-64 platform when interacting with vfat volumes. Newer versions of CrossOver Linux Standard include a workaround for this issue. |
