Yep. I have all that. Still no dice.
I'm not all that concerned about it, since as you pointed
out in your previous message, I'm not really interested in
having users logged in with display/mouse/keyboard on the
console of my auth server.
It was just a curiosity that I thought I'd test.

The

cpu servers `normally' haven't a user logged in at a
full graphics display and keyboard, thus having #i just
wastes space. (even so, you might like to run stats, i suppose.)
you can configure it by copying the appropriate bits from pc or pcdisk

Hello,
Thanks for new release.
My PC with 9pccpudisk (latest kernel) cannot run rio.
This is because:
ls '#i'
ls: #i no frame buffer
By the way, /sys/src/9/pc/pccpu (both previous and latest)
does not support rio.
Is there any reason?

You need to recompile pccpudisk and pccpu
to list the video card you have. Compare
/sys/src/9/pc/pcdisk with /sys/src/9/pc/pccpudisk.

I'm having the same problem. I added my card to
/sys/src/9/pc/pccpudisk, but it still doesn't find the fram
buffer.
FYI, I have a builtin frame buffer on the motherboard. I've
attempted to disable it through the BIOS setup, but I don't
see anywhere to do so. My frame buffer is an ATI Xpert98.
Is the internal frame buffer causing the kernel to not
recognise the frame buffer in the PCI slot?

There is almost certainly some menu item to disable the
built-in video support. On the ASUS CUSL2 (which I highly
recommend) it's in Chip Configuration, Onboard VGA. Also
under PCI configuration it has VGA BIOS Sequence which
determined which of AGP and PCI has precedence.
