Switching X to 16 bpp didn't help. I still get a screen with windows/frames, but no text, no mouse/keyboard and strange lines in the windows/frames. My Linux host screen is 1600x1200 and my Plan9 guest is 1024x768, both at 16 bpp. I'm also running Win2K guest on Linux host successfully, so I know the "hardware" is working. I've appended my config file if that's of any use. Any ideas on what I should try to debug this problem?
