Hi
( 02.09.23 11:01 -0400 ) Russ Cox:
> What does this print:
> whatis mouseport vgasize
mouseport=ps2
vgasize=800x600x8

The aux/mouse setting runs just fine [I am returned to the prompt]
With the vga command I got this back:
% aux/vga -m xga -l 640x480x16
aux/vga: clgd542x: depth 16 not supported
So, I changed it to '640x480x8' and it kinda went into rio. I have a
prompt that I can see [and use to shut down kfs], but most of the
display is unusable. There are some veritical lines at the top, and
bunches of horizontal lines at the bottom with the middle mostly blank.
Also, when I start I see this:
#A: no response #ff
root is from (il, local)[local!#S/sdC0/fs]:
user[none]:
aro rxmitproc started
kfs...version...time...
init: starting /bin/rc
dossrv: serving #s/dos
Can't cd /usr/none: '/usr/none' does not exist
lib/profile: rc: .: can't open: '/bin/lib' directory entry not found
init: rc exit status: rc 13: can't open
init: starting /bin/rc
%
I'm hoping the errors from rc are because I'm user 'none' rather than
any kind of configuration error on my part.
Thanks for your help so far.

Log in as glenda rather than none.
None is the anti-super user and by default
doesn't start vga or rio (it's also the account of last
resort when your vga settings are screwed up).
The ``kinda went into rio'' mode was actually just
vga without rio. Running rio would have started
rio for you.
Sorry about the confusion.
Russ

Hi
I have successfully installed the 4th edition of plan 9 and will admit
to getting a little tinge when I saw that lone percent sign staring at
me.
%
I tried to start rio but I got this back:
rio: can't open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: no frame buffer
The graphics hardware that I have is as follows:
chip: CL-GD5428 Rev 0
mem: 512K
Is this just too wimpy to run rio? The chip is on the list, and I didn't
see anything about memory requirements there ...
