Virtual PC 6/7 Linux VM mouse problem

[vddrnnr]

Hi all,

I'm trying a linux distro inside VP6 and 7 ( PuppyLinux ).
Mouse apparently is not detected.

Has anyone has experienced this?

Yes, I tried Tiny Core Linux too and couldn't get that fully functional either...was a long while ago so don't remember any specifics.

Same here with Tiny core Linux. I remember having luck with DamnSmallLinux V.0.4.10.
Btw , OpenBSD 6.6 (lastest) runs in VirtualPC 6 on MacOS 9.2.2.
From there, you can SSH to modern MacOSes cause the cyphers are up to date.
So it makes a "heavy" ssh client, but its something You can't do with MacSSH on OS9.

As far as X11 , could only try the default FWVM so far, and it's quite slow even on a PB 17" 1Ghz.
And now after reinstalling (goofed a conf. during previous install), X11 isn’t working anymore :/

@galgot: Cool to see OpenBSD works in VPC6, that might open some interesting possibilities (firewall, SSH/X11 client, etc.)

Hi guys,

Well I have this ( see pics below ).
It's a heavily modified PuppyLinux4.

It boots to a command line in 35s and to a full desktop in 50s. ( PB DLSD 1.67ghz )

The only thing that's is not working properly is the mouse

Hi guys,

I found the solution reported in this url

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8854 ( PS/2 mouse not detected on MS Virtual PC 2007 )

You just need to add i8042.noloop=1 to the kernel boot parameters
