The netbook UX images doesn't work on VMs at present to my knowledge, as 3D acceleration support is not available. I'm not sure how SJVN managed to get it to work in VirtualBox (I tried the same technique and it didn't work for me either), but it might be worth getting in touch with him directly to find out :) However, the MeeGo SDK includes a chroot + Xephyr server environment which _can_ be used to run the MeeGo UX in a non-netbook environment (with 3D acceleration): http://wiki.meego.com/Getting_started_with_the_MeeGo_SDK_for_Linux However, you'll still need to be using a modern Linux distro on hardware which supports MeeGo, namely: * CPU: 32bit Intel(r) Atom(tm) or Intel(r) Core(tm) 2 CPU (support for SSSE3) * Note: MeeGo will not work on non-SSSE3 CPUs * A compatible Intel graphics chipset: GMA-500, Nvidia, and ATI chipsets are not supported Elliot > Tim > > -- > http://samoff.com > > ----- Original message ----- > > Hey Friedrich, > > > > I and many others have been trying it for that last 36 hours or so, > and > > we can't get it to work. > > > > SJVN of computerworld seems to have got it up and running, but I've > not > > been able to replicate it. > > > http://blogs.computerworld.com/16198/meego_the_new_netbook_linux_arrives > > > > - Terje > > (TenPhil) > > > > On Fri, 2010-05-28 at 01:21 +0200, Friedrich wrote: > > > Hi everybody, > > > i am having trouble getting Meego running in a VM (qemu).
