Subject: [9fans] Parallels Vesa driver question
Date: Sun,  2 Aug 2009 03:36:48 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <22352E83-0CE0-406D-8D01-D3CC416EAE81@storytotell.org> (raw)

Hi,

I installed Plan 9 under Parallels 3 back in November of last year and  
it worked without a hitch. I tried to install another copy tonight and  
the bitmapped display isn't working in the new one, I just get a pure  
black screen after any aux/vga command that it thinks will succeed. I  
found I can reproduce that behavior by building and running a new  
kernel in the old install. Any ideas what has happened since November  
in the kernel with respect to Vesa and Parallels? I'd be more than  
happy to debug this issue if I could get a little guidance. I didn't  
see anything in the archives about this problem. Alternatively, does  
anyone know if Parallels 4 works with a current kernel? If so I'll  
probably just upgrade to that; I've been holding off for a good reason  
to.

Thanks,

—
Daniel Lyons
