I was using LILO to switch between Plan 9 and Linux up until I got fed up with having to leave Plan 9 to use Linux. Now my desktop machine runs only Plan 9 and the GNU/Linux box has been put off in another corner of the room where I can access it with vncviewer if I really feel the need. Mutliboot works, but it's a pain if you have to switch very often. On another topic, why are color depths greater than 8 bpp explicitly disabled in the clgd542x driver? I tried to find some documentation on the chipset to see if I could add support myself, but the company that owns the specifications (no longer Cirrus Logic) charges $25 just to download the information. For that price, I might as well buy a video card with better support (I probably have one laying around here anyway). However, if somebody is working on improving the driver, I'll just wait and save myself the trouble of digging up another video adapter. Micah
