Subject: [9fans] patch for installation in vmware
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:07:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <10b109140807181307k387ace28kfdac9cb2e7dc970@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello all,

I proposed a patch which turns off hw acceleration for vga if you boot
in VMware.
But now I find out that it is necessary to do the same in installation tree.
So, if anybody can, please, correct this file /386/bin/aux/vmware on
installation CD (add 1 line):

#!/bin/rc

if(aux/isvmware -s){
	echo hwaccel off >'#v/vgactl'		<-- add this command
	echo -n off >'#P/i8253timerset'
	for(i in '#S'/sd??)
		if(test -f $i/ctl)
			echo dma on >$i/ctl
}



Thanks
and have a nice day.

Antonin
