By the way your solution about editing the grub menu at the startup which is done by replacing ''quiet'' with ''nomodeset xforcevesa'' is a temporary solution and one has to repeat that on every boot. The good news is, after a lot of digging I could finally find a permanent solution which I would like to share it here.

In order to fix that, you have to edit ''menu.lst'' file. Here is how:

1-boot in debug mode (usually the second option in boot menu)
2-when booting stops (for me it just hangs there with flashing cursor and without any prompt) enter ''mount -o remount, rw /mnt
''
3-enter ''cd /mnt/grub
''
4-enter ''vi menu.lst
''
5-press Shift+a
6-right under the first boot entry find the line starting with ''kernel initrd=/in'' (your line might look different; it depends on Android version; in general just find the line that starts with ''kernel'')
7-at the end of the line type ''vga=834 nomodeset xforcevesa
''
8-press ESC then '':wq'' - these commands will save the file and quit vi
9-enter ''cd /
''
10-enter ''umount /mnt
''
11-enter ''reboot -f
''

Now the system should reboot in the VESA mode of your choice.

This will enforces to use the VESA driver for X.

Hope it helps.

Nice one J.R. The nomodeset xforcevesa got me for a while. I had no difficulty installing Oreo using vmware 15 on Linux Kubuntu host with these instructions. Good, clear unambiguous, thanks.

[skylinercz]

Dear Raza, Your videos are Awesome!! Please make a video on how to install Chrome OS on a Virtual machine. Please !! Thanks a million!!!

I have basically two questions which are not relevant to the content of your video, but rather about the Android X86's user interface. I posted these questions below this video, because I couldn't find any answers online and I hope that you don't mind to ask them here.

I am using Android-x86 Oreo 8.1 R1 on VMware Workstation, 15 Pro on a Windows 7 host machine.
And for the start I have the following issues:

1- The first major issue is the Scrolling Feature. I installed the last version of Chrome from the Play Store. In a search result page, let's say down the page, I would like to hover the mouse on a specific link and open that link in a new tab. I almost tried all the options and combinations to do that, but I failed on all attempts. First, I didn't know how to Scroll down (using the mouse) which is the first problem and secondly I couldn't figure out how I would be able to highlight a specific link and access the option menu and ask it to open the link in another tab.

2- Additionally, seems I have the same issues when for example I open a word document using Microsoft word app. It seems to be very troublesome to scroll down from page to page and then if for instance I select some texts within the document, then again the option menu is missing and I cannot for instance even do a simple task like Copy and Paste.

Any idea on how to perform either of those task?
