Message-ID: <000e01c11972$b05c7520$0691e1cf@q3m5e0> (raw)

So I've got p9 up and running at work. I'm very happy. 2 problems have
arisen though. 1. aux/vga doesn't want to change my resolution. I set my
monitor to the multisync75 hz. the original error I was getting with aux/vga
was that the vgadb didn't have the resolution I wanted in the db. I'm
looking to get my resolution up to 1024x768x8 or 1152x864x8. well I put in
these resolutions in the vgadb and now aux/vga doesn't report and error but
it also doesn't do anything
my second problem is getting a network connection. ip/config times out when
I let it go for DHCP using ip/config -G also times out. I'm wondering if I
need to do something with ether0. the man pages talk about using bind i.e.
bind -a '#10' /net but the -a wants a directory to bind to /net. the problem
is I don't know what #10 is so I can't figure out if it represents my
ether0. anyhelp or pointers to a place to look would be appreciated.
