Subject: Out of VGA Hell
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 1995 19:50:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950927235050.gWG8zSm9Im3Sqd6uT8bnbIuLAMNbk27xQ7QahiHCxhM@z> (raw)
Allright! After I got my ATM driver working (for SunOS, sorry -- it's my
*real* job) I spent a few minutes with the new VGA card I got after doing the
trade-off "How much does Xerox pay me? What do VGA cards cost?
Waitaminnit...boss? Hey boss?"
So, it still doesn't start the window system automatically, but once I figured
out how to type the 1/2 symbol, it came up and I can run acme and everything.
Now I need a 3-button mouse. Sigh, life at the bottom of the food chain.
I didn't start this to whine; I really have a question: Has anyone managed to
install stuff from the Plan 9 CDROM over the net? If I mount the disc on a
SunOs 4.1.3 machine, can I read the bits from bela, my plan-9 box?
Or do I need to scrounge a CDROM drive too? It can be done, it will just take
longer.
