Long-story-short; I run ArcaOS (backwards compatable OS/2 successor) as a guest on QEMU on my desktop. The Lenovo Thinkpad has the "vmx" cpu flag, so QEMU is theoretically doable. But the mouse is extremely flakey, to the point of unusability, under QEMU on the Thinkpad. I've tried various tweaks, but no luck. I "asked Mr. Google", but only found other people with the same problem... and no solution.
Plan B) According to the ARCA NOAE website https://www.arcanoae.com/wiki/arcaos/installation-planning/virtual-machine-configuration/oracle-vm-virtualbox/ ArcaOs can be installed in a VirtualBox VM, masquarading as OS/2 (I did say it was backwards compatable). Are there any booby-traps to watch out for? What I'm most concerned about is the default "qt5" USE flag. Is VirtualBox usable without the qt5 GUI? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
