Hi Malcolm,
How exactly did you get Linux to co-exist with Windows XP ?
No rocket science there.
There appears to be a problem with your clock, though, as that is
about a month behind the times!
I had a number of dual-booted setups some years ago, in the time of

Wine per se doesn't need to be slower than a native Windows

Marcel,
Can you all check whether the SMSQ/E clock runs at a
normal speed?
I've run QPC from my USB gizmo under Wine 0.9.41 on a SLES 10 SP1 system here
at work and the clock seems to keep the same time as xclock does, so yes, the
SMSQ/E clock is fine. I left it running for 15 minutes and it

Well, of course it's running code without any pause! The only
alternative would be to artificially slow down the CPU emulation
(which, as said, is done when SMSQ/E is idle. But
My QPC clock seems to be fine in my case. Just the cursor

Ciao,
I have also migrated to linux from windows apart qpc I use kubuntu

Wine is by far too slow for qpc, i mean that the graphics emulation of
wine is really a pain, for the rest qpc under wine is perfect i do not
have any other side effect. So

Neither do I, but I believe that these are basic procs defined in the

Running it on QPC2 under windows gives me 49 or 50.
