Subject: [9fans] Parallels 5
Date: Thu,  5 May 2011 23:46:01 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2FFCB958-CD20-4E6B-9164-AA5DEADD866E@storytotell.org> (raw)

I have a rather old VM that I made under Parallels 3 that seems to work under Parallels 5. I think I installed that one in late 2009 or early 2010. As an experiment, I tried installing the current release under Parallels 5. It installs, and pretty quickly (<5 min), but there are two small issues:

1. ps2intellimouse: scrolling works if you're scrolling down, but if you make the scroll up gesture, the mouse skitters off to the right and really doesn't scroll back up. Anyone seen this or have a tricky solution?

2. Ethernet card is not detected. I am not 100% sure there's nothing different in the configuration, but I've made the plan9.ini look the same in both VMs and still it fails to detect the NE2000 emulated ethernet card. There are also ominous messages about usbd: no hub during bootup that don't happen under the old one.

Is there a boot log somewhere I can examine for messages I may not have seen, or any other debugging information I can go looking for?

I'm downloading 9atom to compare tomorrow.

Thanks,
