Subject: [9fans] Parallels Vesa driver question
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 3577166e-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi,

I installed Plan 9 under Parallels 3 back in November of last year and =20=

it worked without a hitch. I tried to install another copy tonight and =20=

the bitmapped display isn't working in the new one, I just get a pure =20=

black screen after any aux/vga command that it thinks will succeed. I =20=

found I can reproduce that behavior by building and running a new =20
kernel in the old install. Any ideas what has happened since November =20=

in the kernel with respect to Vesa and Parallels? I'd be more than =20
happy to debug this issue if I could get a little guidance. I didn't =20
see anything in the archives about this problem. Alternatively, does =20
anyone know if Parallels 4 works with a current kernel? If so I'll =20
probably just upgrade to that; I've been holding off for a good reason =20=

to.

Thanks,

=97
