This is a debug build so a red frame is displayed sometimes - the only way to avoid this is to <a href="http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode">compile Android-X86 from source</a> and apply the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/YmWjtOLLdDs/discussion">Ethernet patch</a> yourself (or search for a different Android-X86 4.0.4 RC2 ISO with Ethernet patch).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Important: </b>if the mouse isn't working, select from the VirtualBox menu: <i>Machine > Disable Mouse Integration</i>.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Download Android-x86</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Android-x86 4.0 has been tested / it should work on AMD Brazos (MSI 110W), Asus EeePC or some Asus laptops/tablets and Tegav2 / Viewpad 10.
