## Useful for

- Install the driver in a Windows NT 3.x guest to enable mouse integration in QEMU or VMware
- Build the vmmouse.iso image via make docker-build for driver installation

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 16:42–19:04: 5 → 9 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +5 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 9 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
